After implantation, finger-like projections appear on the trophoblast .What is it called?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) -Chorionic villi
After implantation, finger-like projections that appear on the trophoblast are called Chorionic villi.
After implantation, finger-like projections appear on the trophoblast called chorionic villi which are surrounded by the uterine tissue and maternal blood. The chorionic villi and uterine tissue become interdigitated with each other and jointly form a structural and functional unit between developing embryo (foetus) and maternal body called placenta.
The placenta facilitate the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the embryo and also removal of carbon dioxide and excretory/waste materials produced by the embryo.
