Activity Description

The placenta attaches to the uterine wall and allows metabolic exchange between the fetus and the mother; it has both embryonic and maternal components. The embryonic portion comes from the outermost embryonic membrane, whereas the maternal portion develops from the decidua basalis of the uterus. The placental membrane separates the embryonic blood from maternal blood but is thin enough to allow diffusion and transport of nutrients and waste. A normal placenta is round or oval-shaped and about 22 cm in diameter. It is 2 cm to 2.5 cm thick and weighs about a pound. This activity reviews placental abnormalities and the role of the interprofessional team in the evaluation of this condition.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Determine the risk of placenta accreta.

  • Identify common placental variants.

  • Assess the clinical significance of an abnormal placenta.
