Mammalian Placenta, The

Synopsis

The major placental types (e.g. the pig, sheep, cat, rat) are examined with the aid of animated diagrams illustrating the foetal and uterine components and the relationship of foetal and uterine blood streams. Finally an ‘artificial uterus’ using a fresh placenta is set up and the selective permeability of the placenta to vital dyes is illustrated.
