Placenta

A human placenta shown externally as a round to oval, flattened discoid organ with a thick fleshy edge, soft spongy texture, and dark red to reddish-brown or maroon coloration. One face is the maternal surface, slightly lobulated, textured, and spongy. The opposite fetal surface is smoother and darker, with pale branching chorionic or umbilical blood vessels radiating outward across the surface from a short, thick, pale umbilical cord attached near the center or slightly off-center. Overall it appears as a flat, heavy, soft anatomical disc, rendered as a simplified medical or anatomical clipart illustration.
