摘要: The placenta and its extraembryonic membranes are central to the survival of developing mammal in utero. These interfaces between maternal embryonic environments. As such, trophoblast regulates movement molecules controls both fetal physiology by production release hormones. Alterations placental functions can compromise organism. alterations may range from decreased nutrient transfer necrosis. responses reflect a direct action toxin on or an indirect effect, e.g., decrease utero-placental blood flow. Trophoblastic neoplasia also be induced mothers exposed chemicals only during pregnancy. Thus, toxic insults must considered when evaluating effects embryo fetus.
