2 Objectives Students should be able to:
Draw and label the placenta of the pig at early, middle and late term. Identify the placentomes of the cow and the sheep. Recognise the haemophagous regions of the placenta of the cat or the dog. Identify the endometrial cups of the mare placenta. Distinguish the simple folded placenta of the pig, from the microcotyledonary placentae of the mare, the cotyledonary placenta of the ruminant and the labyrinthine placentae of the dog and cat.
