Fig. 2

a Healthy term placenta schematic showing macrostructures including the basal plate, chorionic plate and branching chorionic villi (not drawn to-scale). The fetal vasculature extends from the umbilical cord, through the chorionic plate and into the chorionic villi for maternal/fetal diffusive exchange. The intervillous space is supplied with maternal blood by the maternal spiral arteries and deoxygenated blood and waste is removed by the maternal veins. An example parenchyma slide sample site is shown by the semi-transparent box. b Resulting histology section presented on a glass slide. c Whole slide cell and tissue microstructure predictions from HAPPY.
