Placentae

Cupedia vero, placentae, bellaria, commentaque alia curiosa pistorum et coquorum, gustui servientium conciliant morbos tum corpori tum animo insanibiles. ❋ Unknown (2007)

This is a condition of late pregnancy and is associated with severe complications: eclampsia, abruptio placentae and premature labour. ❋ Unknown (1993)

The trail does not appear again until 1917 when Lillie, not content with mere descriptions, dissected the placentae of several pairs of freemartin cattle and noted the placental intermingling of blood between these differently sexed twins (11). ❋ Unknown (1990)

The fruit of Lagerstramia grandiflora can, I think, be explained by assuming it to consist of several carpella, which by not becoming united near the axis, leave an irregular shaped space in the centre; the placentae are fleshy, the ovule inserted all around. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

Above these two, are 4-5 cells, filled with ovula, which are attached entirely to the outer wall of each cell, but the placentae however would seem to have an obvious connexion with the axis, although this is very doubtful. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

The Colocynth seen in fruit much like an apple, not ribbed; it has the usual structure of the order, viz. 3-carpellary with revolute placentae, so much so, that they are placed near the circumference; seeds very numerous, surrounded with pulp, not arillate: no separation taking place; oval, brown, smooth. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

Colycynth, which is, that between each placenta a broad partition projects from the wall of the fruit, usually provided with 3-septa, so as to be divided into two chambers, these contain seeds, the funiculi passing completely through them; seeds are also contained between the outermost septa and the placentae themselves. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

This is worthy of examination, as it shows very plainly the origin of the stigmata from the placentae. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

The anomalous formation arises first from parietal placentae being produced to the axis, and from spurious growth from the sides of the ovary also meeting in the axis, by which the ovula are divided into four bundles. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

The production opposite the placentae necessarily divides the ovula of one placenta into two parcels, and these are they that have no adhesion with the axis. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

At present I can say nothing about the relative site of the lobes of the placentae, otherwise there is nothing remarkable, beyond the production of the ovary opposite the lobes of the placentae. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)

Two placentae were expelled some time after the twins, and showed a membranous junction. ❋ Unknown (1896)

I obeyed, and unfolding a German coverchief, found therein a flampoynt and three placentae [a pork pie and three cheesecakes]. ❋ Emily Sarah Holt (1864)

As I traced the placentae upwards, the ovules appeared, becoming gradually more abundant towards its apex. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)

In making longitudinal sections of the fertilised ovary before mentioned, I found the basal portion entirely destitute of ovules, their place being substituted by transparent cellular ramification of the placentae. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)

I may also refer to the peculiar abnormal condition that many at least of the ovaries present in a comparative examination of the placentae, and of which I beg to suggest the following explanation, though it is as yet founded on limited observations. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)

Yet when I call to mind the state of the placentae in A. luteola, I am astonished that they should produce ovules. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)

One point makes the above view more probable in Acropera than in other cases, viz. the presence of rudimentary placentae or testae, for ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)

And that's ignoring the risks to mom unless she's perfectly healthy - abrupto placentae, uterine rupture, uncontrollable post-partum haemorrhage, and the like. ❋ Unknown (2010)
