Human Floating Chorionic Villi
A figure showing the changes in placental villi between early (first trimester) and late (third trimester) placental development.
Villi Structure:
- syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast change their cellular organisation.
- Capillaries increase within the villi, at term nearly the entire villi is occupied by capillaries with only minimal surrounding connective tissue.
- Hofbauer cells are abundant in villi in both first and second trimesters (though only shown in the term villi). Later Hofbauer cells may have a different embryonic origin.
