    Abstract

    The placenta plays a role in the development and maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. In this article, we will provide some information about the pathophysiology of the placenta, eliciting structure, functions abd disorders of placenta. The placenta contains fetal villi and maternal decidua. Fetal villi will play a role regarding the exchange of nutrients, gases and waste products between the mother�s blood and fetal blood. Maternal decidua nourishes developing embryo and later the fetus. Placenta vplays arole regarding nutrient exchange, waste removal, hormone transfer and other functions also. Placenta produces hCG, progesterone, estrogen, human placental lactose, relaxin and corticotropic releasing hormone. It is finally concluded that placenta releases different immunoglobulin suppressive factors namely cytokines and hormones to lessen the maternal immune response and enhance tolerance
