  2. Cajal–Retzius cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajal–Retzius_cell

    These cells were discovered by two scientists, Santiago Ramón y Cajal and Gustaf Retzius, at two different times and in different species. They are originated in the developing brain in multiple sites within the neocortex and hippocampus. From there, Cajal–Retzius cells migrate through the marginal zone, originating the layer I of the cortex.

  3. Velamentous cord insertion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velamentous_cord_insertion

    The exact cause of velamentous cord insertion is unknown, although risk factors include nulliparity, [2] [6] the use of assisted reproductive technology, [6] [12] maternal obesity, [6] [7] and pregnancy with other placental anomalies. [9] Velamentous cord insertion is often diagnosed using an abdominal ultrasound.

    The preplate also contains the predecessor to the subplate, which is sometimes referred to as a layer. As the cortical plate appears, the preplate separates into two components. The Cajal-Retzius cells go into the marginal zone, above the cortical plate, while the subplate moves inferior to the 6 cortical layers. [1]

  6. Cellular extensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_extensions

    The arborization and branching of end-processes are one of the features responsible for the structural and functional similarities among various cell types. [ note 1 ] Podocytes and pericytes share many physiological properties due to their large surface areas and intricate network of primary and secondary processes that wrap around their ...

  7. Circumvallate placenta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumvallate_placenta

    The newborn, with normal APGAR scores and umbilical cord arterial pH levels, was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Upon examining the placenta after delivery, it was noted that the placenta demonstrated the appearance of a circumvallate placenta, and also showed evidence of abnormal umbilical cord insertion into the placenta.

  8. Umbilical cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilical_cord

    It contains one vein, which carries oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to the fetus, and two arteries that carry deoxygenated, nutrient-depleted blood away. [6] Occasionally, only two vessels (one vein and one artery) are present in the umbilical cord. This is sometimes related to fetal abnormalities, but it may also occur without accompanying ...

  9. Umbilical artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilical_artery

    The umbilical arteries surround the urinary bladder and then carry all the deoxygenated blood out of the fetus through the umbilical cord. Inside the placenta, the umbilical arteries connect with each other at a distance of approximately 5 mm from the cord insertion in what is called the Hyrtl anastomosis. [1]
