File:Trophoblast and villous epithelium of the placenta.png

Description

Image A shows that trophoblast epithelium such as syncytiotrphoblast (SCT) and cytotrophoblasts are in close proximity to fetal and maternal circulation. Similarly, Image B containing immunohistostaining of the placenta also represents this. Both blood vessels display a layer of endothelial cells forming the endothelium (innermost lining).
