{"product_id":"morphometry-of-the-placental-exchange-area-von-r-baur","title":"Morphometry of the Placental Exchange Area","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsidering the placenta from the functional point of view as an exchange organ be­ tween mother and foetus, it is noteworthy that placentas of all types have a common structural principle in that all placentas have structures enlarging the surface area avail­ able for exchange, as is also the case with other organs with similar functions, such as the lungs, kidneys and intestine. It may therefore be assumed that a quantitative rela­ tionship must exist between the structure of the placenta and its function. Accurate information on this relationship could contribute to better understanding of the pla­ centa and of its function. The study of this relationship requires quantitative physio­ logical and morphological data. Detailed data on quantitative morphology (morphometry) are available mainly for the human placenta. Even these data, however, are rather sparse as far as the early sta­ ges of development are concerned, because most-studies relate to full term placentas (see Aherne, 1975; Bender et al. , 1974; Laga et aI. , 1973; Geissler et aI. , 1972; Baur, 1972; Cattoor, 1967; Aherne and Dunnill, 1966). We know of only a few morphomet­ ric studies concerned with placentas of other animal species. These studies relate to in­ vestigations on the development of the placenta of sheep (Stegeman, 1974) and of cat­ tle (Baur, 1972), and measurements carried out on full term placentas of the guinea­ pig (Millier et aI. , 1967) and on full term placentas of various other species (Baur, 1973).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783540081593\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783540081593","offer_id":39426518679645,"sku":"9783540081593","price":53.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/7d2fdd60-26e1-4e87-a35c-418617b2ce41.jpg?v=1775626384","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/morphometry-of-the-placental-exchange-area-von-r-baur","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
