[Analysis of the vascular morphology of the placenta in normal pregnancies and in intrauterine fetal growth retardation]. 1989

Y J Zhang

8% barium sulfate was used in 70 cases of placental angiography. The placentas were studied and classified, including normal placentas and intrauterine growth retarded fetus (IUGR) placentas. In 14 of 20 IUGR cases placental cotyledonic artery was thin and less-branched, while it was so in only 5 of the normal cases. (P less than 0.005) Cotyledon is the basic functional unit, so the thin and less-branched cotyledon leads to the shortage of blood supply for fetus and then influences fetal growth and development. Thus is revealed the relationship between IUGR fetus and placental vascular morphology.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies

D005317 Fetal Growth Retardation Failure of a FETUS to attain expected GROWTH. Growth Retardation, Intrauterine,Intrauterine Growth Retardation,Fetal Growth Restriction,Intrauterine Growth Restriction
