Placenta has a thin layer of composite extra-fetal tissue that separates the maternal and fetal circulation systems called as ‘Placental membrane’ or sometimes as ‘placental barrier’.
The physiological role of placental membrane is to protect the fetus from various harmful substances and help in its development by allowing transport of useful substances from mother.
