Decidua Basalis.—This, the maternal placenta, like the decidua vera is dif- ferentiated into a compact layer or basal plate which forms the floor of the inter- villous spaces, and into a deep spongy layer (Figs. 239 and 240). The first is the remains of the compact layer of the uterine mucosa formed during the premenstrual phase and partially destroyed by the implantation of the ovum. The second is the modified spongy layer of the premenstrual period and, though thinner, shows the same differentiation as does this same layer in the decidua vera. The glandular spaces are less numerous in the spongy layer of the decidua basalis and between.
