One thought on “Q: Which placental cell has been derived from the same Greek language root as atrophy, hypertrophy, or dystrophy?”

1. hi,
   Trophoblasts (from Greek to feed: threphein) are cells forming the outer layer of a blastocyst, which provides nutrients to the embryo, and develops into a large part of the placenta.
   I hope it was the answer you meant.
