Figure 3.

Bivariate scattergram of the placental and uterine PO2 measurements against gestational age. The curves were fitted with the LOWESS technique with a tension of 60. The PO2 in the placenta rises steeply between 10 to 12 weeks, reflecting the onset of free maternal blood flow into the intervillous space.
