Study of the connective tissue of human fetal membranes

Summary. No significant difference in collagen content per unit surface area was found for 3 different areas of the fetal membranes in relation to the rupture site. Electron microscopy examination revealed that tissue nearer the rupture site contained fewer collagen fibres than did the other 2 sites studied. It is suggested that collagen has been dissolved at the rupture site.
