As for normal placental respiration, the author's research only confirmed the results already obtained earlier by Cohnstein and Luntz: it is known that the fetus borrows the oxygen it needs from the mother's blood and, in fact, the blood of the umbilical vein contains more oxygen, than the blood of the umbilical artery, while carbon dioxide, on the contrary, predominates in this latter.
