The placenta is a transient organ that serves as the maternal-fetal interface. The placenta is the site of (1) fetal oxygenation (2) transfer of nutrients and (3) hormone production—all processes that support fetal growth and development. Recognition of abnormal placentation is essential for the management of potentially serious maternal and fetal complications.

摘要

The placenta is a transient organ that serves as the maternal-fetal interface. The placenta is the site of (1) fetal oxygenation (2) transfer of nutrients and (3) hormone production—all processes that support fetal growth and development. Recognition of abnormal placentation is essential for the management of potentially serious maternal and fetal complications.
