Topic : Placenta
By: Pro. S.B. Kumre
( Dept. Of Zoology )
Placentation in mammals
• In all viviparous animals the embryonic development takes place inside the uterus of the
mother, because the eggs are microlecithal and the amount of stored yolk is not sufficient to
the developing embryo. Such embryos get attached to the uterine wall to draw essential
substances from the maternal circulation through the placenta.
Definition of placenta:
• A placenta is an organ built up of maternal and foetal tissues jointly. It serves for the
transport of nutrients from the mother tissues with those of the embryo as well as the
exchange of gases between the tissues of the two. Thus a placenta may be defined as a
temporary connection between the maternal and foetal tissues for the purpose of shelter,
nutrition, respiration, excretion and defense.
1.Foetal placenta: it is formed by the extra embryonic membranes (chorion, allantois or yolk
sac) from tissues of embryo. Chorion is the principal component of foetal placenta.
2. Maternal placenta: it is formed only by a single component i.e. The mother’s uterine
endometrium.
Classification of Placenta:
• 1. Classification Based on the Degree of Intimacy
• 2. Classification Based on the Distribution of Villi
• 3. Classification Based on the Degree of Involvement of Fetal and Maternal
Tissues
• 4. Classification Based on the Types of Implantation
Classification Based on the Degree of Intimacy:
i. Non-Deciduous Placenta or Semi Placenta:
• In non-deciduous placenta the implantation is superficial. This occurs in most
mammals where the blastocysts lie in the uterine cavity. At the point of contact
with the wall of the uterus, the blastocyst surface gives out finger like
projection called chorionic villi that penetrate into the depressions of the uterine
wall and are loosely united.
• At the time of birth, when parturition takes place, the chorionic villi are simply
withdrawn from the cavities of the uterine wall without causing any damage or
bleeding. This type of placenta formation is seen in pig, cattle, horse etc., where
the less hazardous birth process allows the females to resume full running speed
soon after birth.
• As the chorionic villi do not fuse with the endometrium, such a placenta is also
called semi placenta.
Classification Based on the Degree of Intimacy continue…
ii. Deciduous Placenta or Placenta Vera:
• In cat, dog, primates, rodents etc., the degree of intimacy between the chorionic
villi and the endometrium is greatly increased. The uterine wall gets eroded. The
chorionic villi fuse with the eroded uterine mucosa. Such a placenta is termed as
placenta vera (true placenta).
• At the time when parturition takes place the uterine wall does not remain intact. It
tears away and extensive haemorrhage takes place at birth. Such a type of placenta
is termed as deciduous placenta.
• This phenomena of shedding (tearing off) and replacement of maternal tissue is
termed as decidua (meaning, to shed). Here the placenta is physiologically more
efficient, where the mothers are protected enough to recover fully after child birth.
iii. Contra-Deciduate Placenta:
• A somewhat modified type of deciduate placenta is seen in Parameles and Talpa
(mole), where there is loss of both maternal tissue as well as foetal portion of
placenta. Such a placenta is called contra-deciduate placenta.
Classification Based on the Distribution of Villi:
i. Diffused Placenta:
• In diffused placenta the villi are numerous and are scattered uniformly over
the whole of chorion. It is seen in ungulates (pig, horse, mare etc.) and in
cetacea.
ii. Cotyledonary Placenta:
• In this type of placenta the villi become aggregated in special regions or
patches to form small tufts. The rest part of the chorion surface remains
smooth. It is seen in ruminant (cud-chewing) ungulates such as cattle, sheep,
deer etc. In camel and giraffe an intermediate type of placenta is seen where
the villi are scattered and are also arranged in cotyledons.
Classification Based on the Distribution of Villi continue..
iii. Zonary Placenta:
• In a zonary placenta the villi are confined to an annular or girdle-like zone on the
chorion (chorion is more or less elliptical in shape). Such a placenta occurs in
carnivores and may be of either incomplete zonary (e.g. raccoon) or complete
zonary (e.g. dog, cat, seal etc.) type.
iv. Discoidal Placenta:
• Here the villi become restricted to a circular disc or plate area on the dorsal
surface of blastocyst. Such a placenta is seen in insectivores, bats, rodents (rat,
mouse), rabbit and bear.
Classification Based on the Distribution of Villi continue..
v. Meta-Discoidal Placenta:
• In primates a special type of discoidal placenta is seen where the villi are at first
scattered all over the chorion but later becomes restricted to one or two discs. The
mono-discoidal type with a single disc is seen in man, while the bi-discoidal type
with two disc shaped villous areas is seen in monkeys.
Classification Based on the Degree of Involvement of Foetal and
Maternal Tissues:
i. Epitheliochorial Placenta:
• This type of placenta involves the contact of the chorionic epithelium with that of uterine
epithelium and thus the term epitheliochorial. The epitheliochorial placenta involves six tissue
barriers between the foetal and maternal circulation.
• It is the primitive type from which others have been derived and is seen in pig, sow, mare,
horse, cattle etc.
ii. Syndesmochorial Placenta:
• In the ruminant ungulates (cattle, sheep, deer, giraffe etc.), varying amounts of the uterine
epithelium may be absent. As a result the chorion is brought into direct contact with the
connective tissue of the uterus. Only five barriers therefore, lie between the two blood streams.
This type of placenta is termed as syndesmochorial.
iii. Endotheliochorial Placenta:
• In endotheliochorial placenta the uterine mucosa is reduced and the chorionic epithelium comes
in contact with the endothelial wall of maternal blood vessels.
• This type of placenta is characteristic of carnivores like dog, cat, bear etc. Here, only four
barriers remain between the two blood streams.
Classification Based on the Degree of Involvement of Foetal and Maternal
Tissues continue..
iv. Hemochorial Placenta:
• A reduction of the barriers into three is observed in hemochorial placenta,
which is found in primates, insectivores (mole, shrew) and chiropterans (bat).
Here, the endothelial wall of the maternal blood vessel disappears and the
chorionic epithelium is bathed directly in the maternal blood.
v. Haemoendothelial Placenta:
• In this type of placenta the chorionic villi looses their epithelium and
mesenchymal layers to such a degree that the endothelial wall of the foetal
blood vessels remain in contact with the maternal blood.
• The haemoendothelial placenta is observed in mouse, rat, rabbit, guinea-pig
etc. and only a single barrier separates the two blood streams.
Classification Based on the Degree of Involvement of Foetal and
Maternal Tissues continue..
Classification Based on the Types of Implantation
i. Choriovitelline Placenta:
• The choriovitelline or yolk sac placenta is formed when the yolk sac wall
(splanchnopleure) combines with the chorion and then contacts the
endometrium. It may be fully or partially vascularized by the vitelline plexus,
which connects with the omphalomesenteric vein leading to the developing
heart. Blood returns from the embryo to the vitelline circulation in the yolk
sac via the omphalomesenteric artery, which branches from the dorsal aorta.
ii. Chorioallantois Placenta:
• When the allantois fuses with the chorion, an allantochorion is formed. The
allantochorion contacts the endometrium, resulting in a chorioallantoic
placenta. This organ is the most efficient for mediating physiologic exchange
between mother and offspring. It is very well vascularized by umbilical
arteries and vein.
Classification Based on the Types of Implantation continue..
Functions of Placenta
• Enables the transport of oxygen, water, electrolytes and nutrition
(carbohydrates, lipids, polypeptides, amino acids & vitamins) from maternal
to foetal blood.
• Excretion of carbon dioxide, urea etc. by the foetus into the maternal blood.
• Acts as a barrier (bacteria, viruses, drugs).
• Maternal antibodies (IgG) gives immunity to the foetus.
• Keeps the maternal & foetal blood streams separate, thereby preventing
antigenic reactions.
Placental Hormones
• Progesterone:
For maintenance of pregnancy after 4th month (when the corpus luteum
degenerates).
• Oestrogen (mainly estriol):
– Uterine growth
– Development of mammary gland

Placentation in Mammals

  • 1. M.G. COLLEGE ARMORI DIST. GADCHIROLI Class: B.Sc. II Sem IV Paper: I Unit: III Topic : Placenta By: Pro. S.B. Kumre ( Dept. Of Zoology )
  • 2. Placentation in mammals • In all viviparous animals the embryonic development takes place inside the uterus of the mother, because the eggs are microlecithal and the amount of stored yolk is not sufficient to the developing embryo. Such embryos get attached to the uterine wall to draw essential substances from the maternal circulation through the placenta. Definition of placenta: • A placenta is an organ built up of maternal and foetal tissues jointly. It serves for the transport of nutrients from the mother tissues with those of the embryo as well as the exchange of gases between the tissues of the two. Thus a placenta may be defined as a temporary connection between the maternal and foetal tissues for the purpose of shelter, nutrition, respiration, excretion and defense. 1.Foetal placenta: it is formed by the extra embryonic membranes (chorion, allantois or yolk sac) from tissues of embryo. Chorion is the principal component of foetal placenta. 2. Maternal placenta: it is formed only by a single component i.e. The mother’s uterine endometrium.

  • 4. Classification Based on the Degree of Intimacy: i. Non-Deciduous Placenta or Semi Placenta: • In non-deciduous placenta the implantation is superficial. This occurs in most mammals where the blastocysts lie in the uterine cavity. At the point of contact with the wall of the uterus, the blastocyst surface gives out finger like projection called chorionic villi that penetrate into the depressions of the uterine wall and are loosely united. • At the time of birth, when parturition takes place, the chorionic villi are simply withdrawn from the cavities of the uterine wall without causing any damage or bleeding. This type of placenta formation is seen in pig, cattle, horse etc., where the less hazardous birth process allows the females to resume full running speed soon after birth. • As the chorionic villi do not fuse with the endometrium, such a placenta is also called semi placenta.
  • 5. Classification Based on the Degree of Intimacy continue… ii. Deciduous Placenta or Placenta Vera: • In cat, dog, primates, rodents etc., the degree of intimacy between the chorionic villi and the endometrium is greatly increased. The uterine wall gets eroded. The chorionic villi fuse with the eroded uterine mucosa. Such a placenta is termed as placenta vera (true placenta). • At the time when parturition takes place the uterine wall does not remain intact. It tears away and extensive haemorrhage takes place at birth. Such a type of placenta is termed as deciduous placenta. • This phenomena of shedding (tearing off) and replacement of maternal tissue is termed as decidua (meaning, to shed). Here the placenta is physiologically more efficient, where the mothers are protected enough to recover fully after child birth. iii. Contra-Deciduate Placenta: • A somewhat modified type of deciduate placenta is seen in Parameles and Talpa (mole), where there is loss of both maternal tissue as well as foetal portion of placenta. Such a placenta is called contra-deciduate placenta.
  • 6. Classification Based on the Distribution of Villi: i. Diffused Placenta: • In diffused placenta the villi are numerous and are scattered uniformly over the whole of chorion. It is seen in ungulates (pig, horse, mare etc.) and in cetacea. ii. Cotyledonary Placenta: • In this type of placenta the villi become aggregated in special regions or patches to form small tufts. The rest part of the chorion surface remains smooth. It is seen in ruminant (cud-chewing) ungulates such as cattle, sheep, deer etc. In camel and giraffe an intermediate type of placenta is seen where the villi are scattered and are also arranged in cotyledons.
  • 7. Classification Based on the Distribution of Villi continue.. iii. Zonary Placenta: • In a zonary placenta the villi are confined to an annular or girdle-like zone on the chorion (chorion is more or less elliptical in shape). Such a placenta occurs in carnivores and may be of either incomplete zonary (e.g. raccoon) or complete zonary (e.g. dog, cat, seal etc.) type. iv. Discoidal Placenta: • Here the villi become restricted to a circular disc or plate area on the dorsal surface of blastocyst. Such a placenta is seen in insectivores, bats, rodents (rat, mouse), rabbit and bear.
  • 8. Classification Based on the Distribution of Villi continue.. v. Meta-Discoidal Placenta: • In primates a special type of discoidal placenta is seen where the villi are at first scattered all over the chorion but later becomes restricted to one or two discs. The mono-discoidal type with a single disc is seen in man, while the bi-discoidal type with two disc shaped villous areas is seen in monkeys.
  • 9. Classification Based on the Degree of Involvement of Foetal and Maternal Tissues: i. Epitheliochorial Placenta: • This type of placenta involves the contact of the chorionic epithelium with that of uterine epithelium and thus the term epitheliochorial. The epitheliochorial placenta involves six tissue barriers between the foetal and maternal circulation. • It is the primitive type from which others have been derived and is seen in pig, sow, mare, horse, cattle etc. ii. Syndesmochorial Placenta: • In the ruminant ungulates (cattle, sheep, deer, giraffe etc.), varying amounts of the uterine epithelium may be absent. As a result the chorion is brought into direct contact with the connective tissue of the uterus. Only five barriers therefore, lie between the two blood streams. This type of placenta is termed as syndesmochorial. iii. Endotheliochorial Placenta: • In endotheliochorial placenta the uterine mucosa is reduced and the chorionic epithelium comes in contact with the endothelial wall of maternal blood vessels. • This type of placenta is characteristic of carnivores like dog, cat, bear etc. Here, only four barriers remain between the two blood streams.
  • 10. Classification Based on the Degree of Involvement of Foetal and Maternal Tissues continue.. iv. Hemochorial Placenta: • A reduction of the barriers into three is observed in hemochorial placenta, which is found in primates, insectivores (mole, shrew) and chiropterans (bat). Here, the endothelial wall of the maternal blood vessel disappears and the chorionic epithelium is bathed directly in the maternal blood. v. Haemoendothelial Placenta: • In this type of placenta the chorionic villi looses their epithelium and mesenchymal layers to such a degree that the endothelial wall of the foetal blood vessels remain in contact with the maternal blood. • The haemoendothelial placenta is observed in mouse, rat, rabbit, guinea-pig etc. and only a single barrier separates the two blood streams.
  • 11. Classification Based on the Degree of Involvement of Foetal and Maternal Tissues continue..
  • 12. Classification Based on the Types of Implantation i. Choriovitelline Placenta: • The choriovitelline or yolk sac placenta is formed when the yolk sac wall (splanchnopleure) combines with the chorion and then contacts the endometrium. It may be fully or partially vascularized by the vitelline plexus, which connects with the omphalomesenteric vein leading to the developing heart. Blood returns from the embryo to the vitelline circulation in the yolk sac via the omphalomesenteric artery, which branches from the dorsal aorta. ii. Chorioallantois Placenta: • When the allantois fuses with the chorion, an allantochorion is formed. The allantochorion contacts the endometrium, resulting in a chorioallantoic placenta. This organ is the most efficient for mediating physiologic exchange between mother and offspring. It is very well vascularized by umbilical arteries and vein.

  • 14. Functions of Placenta • Enables the transport of oxygen, water, electrolytes and nutrition (carbohydrates, lipids, polypeptides, amino acids & vitamins) from maternal to foetal blood. • Excretion of carbon dioxide, urea etc. by the foetus into the maternal blood. • Acts as a barrier (bacteria, viruses, drugs). • Maternal antibodies (IgG) gives immunity to the foetus. • Keeps the maternal & foetal blood streams separate, thereby preventing antigenic reactions. Placental Hormones • Progesterone: For maintenance of pregnancy after 4th month (when the corpus luteum degenerates). • Oestrogen (mainly estriol): – Uterine growth – Development of mammary gland
