Entry term(s) placentoma
placentoma normal
Scope note: Órgano maternofetal muy vascularizado de los mamíferos y principal sitio a través del cual el feto obtiene el oxígeno y otros nutrientes y excreta el dióxido de carbono y otros desechos. Está formada por una parte fetal (VELLOSIDADES CORIÓNICAS) derivada de los TROFOBLASTOS, y una parte materna (DECIDUA) que deriva del ENDOMETRIO uterino. La placenta produce una serie de esteroides, y hormonas proteicas y peptídicas (HORMONAS PLACENTARIAS)

Scope note: 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).
