ABSTRACT
The extra-embryonic hypoblast/visceral endoderm of Placentalia carries out a variety of functions during gestation, including hematopoietic induction. Results of decades-old and recent experiments have provided compelling evidence that, in addition to its inducing properties, hypoblast/visceral endoderm itself is a source of placental blood cells. Those observations that highlight extra-embryonic endoderm's role as an overlooked source of placental blood cells across species are briefly discussed here, with suggestions for future exploration.
