Which outcome occurs when asymmetric division creates unequal placental segments?

💡 Explanation

Compensatory villous hypervascularization increases vascularity of the smaller segment if asymmetric division leads to unequal placental distribution because inadequate surface area triggers increased angiogenesis; therefore, blood flow distribution corrects, rather than the organ shrinking overall assuming sufficient functional resources.
