The fetomaternal interface inside the labyrinth. (A) Initial pregnancy, TEM. Intact endothelium (end) of a fetal capillary (fc), associated with cytotrophoblast (ct) with large intercellular spaces (arrow) and syncytial trophoblast (syt) towards the maternal blood channels (mbc). (B) Mid gestation, TEM. The interhaemal barrier is very thin. (C) Near term, TEM. Cytotrophoblast is still present in the labyrinth. Scale bars = 2 μm.
