RESUMO

The placenta of the llama has been described like epitheliochorial, but existent researches dont study in depth microscopic aspects. In order to detail their ultrastructurals characteristics observations were made by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Samples of nine uteruses between 28 to 36 weeks of pregnancy were collected in association with fetal membranes. A part was fixed with of 4% paraformaldehyde solution and embedded either in paraffin or in glycol methacrylate resin. Sections of 5µm in thickness were stained with haematoxylin and eosin, Massons trichrome staining and PAS (Perl`s and acid fosfatase, and inmunohistochemestry for uteroferrina detection. Another part was fixed with 2,5 % glutaraldehyde and post-fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide and processed for SEM. The trophoblast presented cells of morphology varied, since cubical, rounds off until triangular, with cytoplasm with granules PAS+. Binucleates cells with increased cytoplasm and spherical nucleus, as well as giant trophoblastics cells with multiple nucleus, had been also observed. Aréolas was filled of positive material PAS. Great amount of blood vessels are in the maternofetal interface, between the cells of uterine epithelium and around of the chorionic projections. Collagen fibers are observed in the mesenchymae and inside the chorionic projections. PAS positive reaction was observed in the materno-fetal interface, mane manifest in epithelium and lumen of uterine glands. Giant size trofoblastic cels of 4-7 or more nucleus were found in chorionich proyections, showing scarse or nule histochemistry reactivity, indicating different functionalities of different kind of mono or bi nucleated cells. The allantois is structured by an unique layer of different sizes cells, in their surface are circular and polyhedral structures, representing a morphological consideration from this type of function allantois cells. The epidermal membrane is formed by 7 or more layers of cells with one, two or three nucleus. The superficial layer present more smooth cells. The high vascularization of the maternal and fetal faces indicates an optimal interchange of substances between both. The collagen inside the chorionics projections serves as a support skeleton), and the high metabolic demonstrate activity in uterine glands, develope a pregnacy adaptation of these specie who lives in highs of Perú.
