Chorionic villi are villi that sprout from the chorion to provide maximal contact area with maternal blood.. They are an essential element in pregnancy from a histomorphologic perspective, and are, by definition, a product of conception.
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS), sometimes called "chorionic villous sampling" (as "villous" is the adjectival form of the word "villus"), [1] is a form of prenatal diagnosis done to determine chromosomal or genetic disorders in the fetus.
It is diagnosed by a microscopic examination of the placenta.. Commonly used criteria from Altshuler [2] [3] are: "a minimum of 10 villi, each with 10 or more vascular channels, in 10 or more areas of 3 or more random, non-infarcted placental areas when using a ×10 ocular."
Image showing trophoblast differentiated into the two layers of cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast during implantation. It is the outer layer of the trophoblasts and actively invades the uterine wall, during implantation, rupturing maternal capillaries and thus establishing an interface between maternal blood and embryonic extracellular fluid, facilitating passive exchange of material ...
The aircraft, flown by Boom’s chief test pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg, accelerated to Mach 1.1 for the first time (around 844 miles per hour / 1,358 kilometers per hour) — 10% ...
In the placenta, the intervillous space is the space between chorionic villi, and contains maternal blood.. The trophoblast, which is a collection of cells that invades the maternal endometrium to gain access to nutrition for the fetus, proliferates rapidly and forms a network of branching processes which cover the entire embryo and invade and destroy the maternal tissues.
All 67 people on board the American Airlines regional jet and US Army Black Hawk helicopter that collided midair Wednesday night are presumed dead – a grim tragedy that has left a heartbreaking ...
A fast-spreading wildfire that erupted this week northwest of Los Angeles roared from nothing to nearly 10,000 acres − in a matter of hours.
