- Title
VASCULAR PATTERNS IN THE ENDOMETRIUM AND THE PLACENTA.
- Authors
Ramsey, Elizabeth M.
- Abstract
1. The placenta has been presented as an organ well adapted for study of those basic functions of metabolic exchange usually associated with systemic capillary beds alone. 2. The analogy between the intervillous space of the primate placenta and a systemic capillary has been demonstrated from the morphological and physiological standpoints. 8. The endometrial blood vessels have been analyzed to show their protean adaptability to changing functional demands during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. 4. The circulatory mechanics of both the maternal and the fetal placental vasculature and their interaction at the level of the intervillous space have been described.
