The human placenta has many vessels traversing its foetal surface. A variety of sizes is available down to vessels of diameter 1 mm. Selection of a suitable artery can provide a vessel that can be satisfactorily used for microsurgical practice. Where other preparations are not available, the human placenta appears to offer a reasonable, cheap and readily available alternative.
人类胎盘有许多血管穿过其胎儿面。有各种尺寸的血管可供选择,最小到直径为1毫米的血管。选择合适的动脉可以提供一条可令人满意地用于显微外科手术的血管。在没有其他准备材料的情况下,人类胎盘似乎提供了一种合理、廉价且容易获得的替代物。
