Studies of a single placental cotyledon in vitro: II. The intravascular volume.
The intravascular volume of isolated perfused human placental cotyledons was measured by the mean transit time of injected radio-iodine labelled human serum albumin. The technique gives highly reproducible results with no evidence of change with time. The mean intravascular volume was about 6 ml per 100 g of tissue, some 20 ml for an average placenta at term.
