Folding pattern of the nucleus envelope and intranuclear membrane structures in trophoblast giant cells and in trophoblast of the intermediate region of the rat placenta have been studied. Cells of the intermediate region of the placenta demonstrate deep invaginations resulting in the appearance of lobulated nuclei. Invaginations of the nuclear envelope pass on a narrow fold made by an inner nuclear membrane. The polyploid nuclei of trophoblast giant cells have superficial folds and deeper finger-like invaginations in their envelopes. Such folding trophoblast nuclei in two populations examined are met throughout the whole ontogenesis of the cell. In the giant cells, individual intranuclear tubes or their accumulations are seen. The tubes are made by a unit membrane and are surrounded with a matrix. The nuclear chromatin, diffuse or condenced, is in association with the tube surface. The tubes are met near the nucleolus and on its surface, where these are surrounded with the granular component of the nucleolus. In the trophoblast of the intermediate region of the placenta, intranuclear concentric membranes have been found; made of paired membranes, intramembranous space being filled with electron dense matrix. The concentric membranes lie separately in the karyoplasm, not being associated with the chromatin.
