[Functional morphology of maternal placental circulation in severe gestosis]
Abstract:
One hundred and twenty-five women with incomplete pregnancy in the presence of severe gestosis were examined. The placenta of women receiving 6% hydroxyethyl starch showed a compensatory plethora of villous chorion, stabilization of wall structures in the capillaries and red blood cell membranes, which contributed to the normalization of fetal oxygen homeostasis. In the female myometrium, the capillary lumen displayed starch fibers that stabilized the capillary wall, promoting the stabilization of the shape of vessels, and better circulation as a plethora.

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
Development of Blood Vessels
The initial formation of this system is facilitated by the small amount of yolk present in the ovum and yolk sac. Blood vessels originate from...
