Abstract

Introduction: The human placenta is Chorio-allantoic and Haemochorial in nature. It is a flattened discoid 
mass of 500ml volume, 500gms weight, with an average diameter of 185mm, average thickness of 23mm 
in the centre diminishing towards periphery. It is usually circular or oval in shape 1
. The umbilical cord is 
attached centrally or eccentrically. Three umbilical vessels (2 umbilical arteries and 1 umblical vein) are 
normally present in each umbilical cord, distributed in placenta through two regular patterns-disperse and 
magisterial types. The Hyrtl’s anastomosis is a connection between the two umbilical arteries in most 
human placentas
