  • It is a primitive type of placenta found in some of the marsupials. E.g., Opossum and Kangaroo. 

Chorio-allantoic placenta- 

  • In chorio-allantoic placenta, the yolk sac remains undeveloped. 

Chorionic placenta- 

  • The chorionic placenta is formed of a thickened layer of chorion containing sinuses filled with maternal blood.
