The small intestine is not the only organ lined with villi. There is another type called chorionic villi that lines the lumen of the placenta. Chorionic villi surround a developing fetus during ...

In addition to cellular evidence of acute and chronic inflammation, placental histopathology can reveal vascular pathologic changes to the placenta that can severely impair the appropriate growth ...

Villous atrophy occurs when your intestinal villi—the microscopic, finger-like tentacles that line the wall of your small intestine—erode away, leaving a virtually flat surface. Celiac disease, an ...

The proliferating cytotrophoblast cells provide, after differentiation, the villous syncytiotrophoblasts as the outer cellular layer of the placenta. The other pathway that these cells can take ...
