Abstract
Chorionic villi of human placenta at full term have been studied in thin section. On the free surface of syncytium, cellular junctions such as desmosomes, desmosome-like junctions and tight junctions, but not gap junctions, are present. Theories regarding the formation and functions of the junctions on the syncytial free surface are discussed.Entities:
