Abstract: Authors studied a large number of human placenta (750) and they identified and nominalized four anatomic markers as morphologic and functional indicators for the structures inside the utero - placental and feto - placental circulatory systems: umbilical cord, subchorial veins thrombosis for the feto - placental circulatory system, perivillous fibrin deposition and retroplacental hematoma for utero - placental circulatory system. These markers contribute to the knowledge of the mechanisms for intrauterine asphyxiation, fetal death and intrauterine fetal growth restriction.
