(data from a study sample of 15 normal placenta, mean placental volume, 652 ml).[1][2]

Data

  • Microscopical fields on stained sections were selected by systematic uniform random sampling and analysed stereologically to estimate the volumes of placental compartments and total lengths of villi and fetal capillaries.
  • Mean cross-sectional areas of peripheral villi and capillaries, together with measures of villous capillarization (capillary volume densities and capillary : villus length ratios), were derived from global volumes and lengths.
