Q

Two types of implantation

A

Superficial - chorion fuses to uterine endometrium

Interstitial - embryo invades and develops in endometrium

Q

Four main placental types

A

Diffuse (mare/sow) - villi cover surface of chorion

Zonary (dogs/cats) - villi form a band around chorion

Cotyledonary (cow/ewe) - villi localized at cotyledons

Discoidal (primates) - villi cover 1/2 placental surface
