Q. In rabbit, placenta is formed by

A) Chorio allantoic membrane and yolk sac
B) Amnion, chorion and yolk sac
C) Chorio allantoic membrane and endometrium
D) Allantois and endometrium
Explanation

In rabbit, allantois comes in contact with chorion and their mesodermal layers fuse together and becomes highly vascular. Thus, a compound layer is formed called allanto-chorion or chorio- allantoic. Its chorionic villi invade the maternal uterine wall (endometrium) forming an allantoic placenta for absorbing nutrients.
