TL;DR
This study aims to determine the average shape of the human placenta's chorionic plate in a birth cohort, addressing the variability and lack of established mean shape.
Contribution
It provides the first measurement of the average shape of the human placenta's chorionic plate based on a birth cohort.
Findings
Average shape of the chorionic plate established
Variability in shape is common
Provides baseline for future placental shape studies
Abstract
The chorionic plate (or "fetal surface") of the human placenta is drawn as round, with the umbilical cord inserted roughly at the center, but variability of this shape is common. The average shape of the chorionic plate has never been established. The goal of this work is to measure the average shape in a birth cohort.
