| dc.description.abstract | Photo of the original from the Royal Library, Windsor. Originally drawn while Leonardo was an assistant to Marcantonio Della Torre, Professor of Anatomy at the Univrsity of Pavia. Fetus in the breech position, with the fetal membranes and umbilical cord. Although Leonardo correctly depicts the single placental disc (upon which the fetus is sitting; the coiling umbilical cord can be seen just under the placental disc), he mistakenly depicted the placental attachment as cotyledonary (he clearly depicts the fetal cotyledons interdigitating with the maternal crypts in the upper right portion of drawing). In fact, this cotyledonary or “placentomal” arrangement exists only in ruminants (antelope, cattle, deer, giraffes, goats, and sheep). | en_US |
