Abstract
The nonvillous parts of the placenta include the chorionic plate, cell islands, cell columns, placental septa, basal plate, marginal zone, membranes, and fibrinoid deposits in all parts of the organ. These parts comprise one-third to one-half of the placental volume. As they are not vascularized from both the maternal and fetal circulations, they do not participate in maternofetal exchange and are clinically seemingly irrelevant structures; hence they have been largely neglected for a long time.
