In these animals the developing embryo shows small allantois. Exchange of substances from one blood stream to the other, takes place by various transfer mechanisms such as: i Diffusion, ii Active transport, iii Pinocytosis and iv Leakage i. The simple apposition between the chorion and the uterine mucosa obviously is not enough for a sufficient substance exchange. Normally, the placenta grows onto the upper part of the uterus and stays there until your baby is born.

Effect of placenta previa on fetal growth. Macromolecules of polysacÂcharides, lipids and proteins are absorbed by the trophoblast cells by pinocytosis. The section comprised between two septa is called a cotyledon. Many terminal branches fuse with the decidua basalis of the endometrium at some distance from their ends, and then recurve into the inter-villous space in a shaped manner Fig. It takes no part in formation of placenta.

The uterine wall secretes a viscous fluid, the uterine milk. These blocking antibodies protect the fetus from rejection.
The condition may persists as a congenital umbilical hernia or exomphalos. Separation of normally situated placenta 3. Oxygen diffuses from maternal blood into the foetal blood, while reverse difÂfusion takes place in case of carbon dioxide. If the bleeding is severe, go to the hospital right way. Interstitial trophoblasts invade the decidua and surround spiral arteries. Depending upon the type of placenta previa , like if it is marginal placenta then may be vaginal delivery can be considered but it will always pose a threat so your doctor can suggest you a C-section. It comes in contact with chorin.
Eclampsia is the subsequent development of convulsions, kidney failure, liver failure, clotting problems or mortality.
