Abstract

The placenta is the site where the maternal blood (uterine vasculature) and the foetal blood (foetal capillaries) exchange materials including gases. The efficiency of this exchange is a vital that influences the development of embryo. The two blood circulations are separated by the placental barrier or the interhemal membrane. We studied the placental structure in two myomorph rodents (Rattus norvegicus (Common street rat) and Bondicoota bengalensis (Indian mole rat)) at term to make a comparative evaluation of the fine structure of the interhemal membrane.
