    • To highlight recent advancements in understanding placental structure and function.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical literature review.
    • Application of modern technologies: electron microscopy, radiology, ultrasound, immunohistochemistry, and fluorescence.

    Main Results:

    • New insights into trophoblast types, origin, and functions.
    • Detailed understanding of placental vascular architecture and cyclic changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Historical research laid the foundation for current placental knowledge.
    • Modern techniques are crucial for ongoing discoveries in placental biology.
