Fingerlike projections of the chorion forming the fetal portion of the placenta.
Tiny finger-like folds in the chorion.
Vascular projections in the fetal membrane that become the fetal portion of the placenta.
During pregnancy, tiny fingerlike projections attached to a membrane that eventually becomes the part of the placenta closest to the baby. The fetal blood vessels project into the villi, which are surrounded by the mother’s blood.
The vascular projections from the chorion, which will form the fetal portion of the placenta.
The outer sac enveloping the developing baby gives rise to tiny, finger-like projections known as chorionic villi. These minute structures originate from the fetus itself and eventually mature to form the placenta, playing a vital role in nutrient and oxygen exchange between the mother and the developing fetus.
The chorionic villi are small, finger-like projections that protrude from the surface of the chorion, which is the membrane encompassing a developing fetus.
