A new stereological method was applied to estimate the average thickness of the trophoblastic layer in chorial villi from different regions of the human term placenta. Statistically significant differences were demonstrated among the 5 regions considered. Evidently, the thickness of the trophoblastic layer is related to the pO2 gradient in the intervillous space blood.
