Introduction
From implantation through the remainder of prenatal development the parts of the conceptus that did not contribute to the embryo now develop and differentiate in parallel to form the embryonic placenta and the fetal membranes. Remember that the placenta has a dual origin from both fetal and maternal contributions.
