scienceyoucanlove: The human placenta is a confounding organ....

scienceyoucanlove:

The human placenta is a confounding organ. Made up almost entirely of tissue from the fetus, not the mother, the placenta should be attacked as a foreign invader by the mother’s immune system. And yet, the placenta makes a nine month pregnancy possible. How?

First, a description of the human placenta:

About four to five days after fertilization, the embryo is a hollow ball of about 100 cells (blastocyst). Inside and attached to the hollow ball is a group of cells that will eventually become the fetus, while the outer ball of cells (trophoblast) will attach to the lining of the uterus and become the placenta. The attachment is as close as any two human beings will ever be. Once attached, the trophoblast will actually reroute the mother’s blood supply to feed the fetus, via the umbilical cord. By the time the baby is born, the “interface” between mother and placenta is about 12 square meters.

So how does the placenta keep the mother’s immune system at bay? Researchers found that the placenta releases exosomes: small packages packed with information telling the mother’s immune system to back off. Ian Sargent, a reproductive immunologist at the University of Oxford in England, describes human reproduction: “It’s hijacked the immune system and used it for its own purposes.”

After birth, the placenta is expelled from the mother’s body and the umbilical cord is cut, thus ending the physical connection between mother and child. Controversy over what to do with the placenta after birth (some people think it’s a good idea to eat it) has recently resurfaced in the media. Regardless of what happens to it after those nine months, the placenta is an amazing organ.
