Summary
The basal plate of the human placenta in the last months of pregnancy is covered over with flattened endothelial-like cells against the intervillous space. These cells are sex-chromatin positive in more than 35% of the placentas of male newborns. For this reason we believe that they are endothelial cells of the maternal vessels which are spread out secondarily over the surface of the basal plate.
