The difference in oxygen tension in the placenta between the umbilical artery 20 pO<sub>2</sub> (torr) and umbilical vein 30 pO<sub>2</sub> (torr) is therefore about 10 pO<sub>2</sub>(torr). This is significantly less that in the maternal circulation between arterial 100 pO<sub>2</sub>(torr)/venous 55 pO<sub>2</sub> (torr) difference of about 45 pO<sub>2</sub> (torr).

+ &nbsp; Human chorionic gonadotrophin
|| Correct! Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) like leutenizing hormone, initially supports the {{corpus luteum}} in ovary, that produces progesterone to maintain the pregnancy. Later in pregnancy, the placenta takes over the {{corpus luteum}} role.
- &nbsp; Human chorionic somatommotropin
|| Incorrect! Human chorionic somatommotropin (hCS) or placental lactogen stimulate (maternal) mammary development rise through pregnancy, stimulates maternal metabolic processes, breast growth. Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) like leutenizing hormone, initially supports the corpus luteum in ovary, that produces progesterone to maintain the pregnancy. Later in pregnancy, the placenta takes over the {{corpus luteum}} role.
- &nbsp; Human chorionic thyrotropin
|| Incorrect! Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) like leutenizing hormone, initially supports the corpus luteum in ovary, that produces progesterone to maintain the pregnancy. Later in pregnancy, the placenta takes over the {{corpus luteum}} role.
- &nbsp; Human chorionic corticotropin
|| Incorrect! Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) like leutenizing hormone, initially supports the corpus luteum in ovary, that produces progesterone to maintain the pregnancy. Later in pregnancy, the placenta takes over the {{corpus luteum}} role.
