  2. Fetal membranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_membranes

    The fetal membranes separate maternal tissue from fetal tissue at a basic mechanical level. The fetal membrane is composed of a thick cellular chorion covering a thin amnion composed of dense collagen fibrils. The amnion is in contact with the amniotic fluid and ensures structural integrity of the sac due to its mechanical strength.

  3. Chorion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorion

    Amniotic embryo. a=embryo, b=yolk, c=allantois, d=amnion, e=chorion. In reptiles, birds, and monotremes, the chorion is one of the four extraembryonic membranes that make up the amniotic egg that provide for the nutrients and protection needed for the embryo's survival. It is located inside the albumen, which is the white of the egg.

  4. Gestational sac - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestational_sac

    The gestational sac is spherical in shape, and is usually located in the upper part (fundus) of the uterus.By approximately nine weeks of gestational age, due to folding of the trilaminar germ disc, the amniotic sac expands and occupy the majority of the volume of the gestational sac, eventually reducing the extraembryonic coelom (the gestational sac or the chorionic cavity) to a thin layer ...

  5. Amniotic sac - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amniotic_sac

    Amniotic cavity in human embryo 1.3 mm. long. The amniotic cavity is the closed sac between the embryo and the amnion, containing the amniotic fluid. The amniotic cavity is formed by the fusion of the parts of the amniotic fold, which first makes its appearance at the cephalic extremity and subsequently at the caudal end and sides of the embryo ...

  6. Amnion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnion

    This, the amniotic fold, first makes its appearance at the cephalic extremity, and subsequently at the caudal end and sides of the embryo, and gradually rising, its different parts meet and fuse over the dorsal aspect of the embryo, and enclose a cavity, the amniotic cavity. This kind of amnion is known as pleuroamnion (formed by folding), as ...

  7. Bilaminar embryonic disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilaminar_embryonic_disc

    Beginning on day eight, the amniotic sac is the first new cavity to form during the second week of development. [4] Fluid collects between the epiblast and the hypoblast, which splits the epiblast into two portions. The layer at the embryonic pole grows around the amniotic sac, creating a barrier from the cytotrophoblast.

  9. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    The epiblast is adjacent to the trophoblast and made of columnar cells; the hypoblast is closest to the blastocyst cavity and made of cuboidal cells. The epiblast migrates away from the trophoblast downwards, forming the amniotic cavity, the lining of which is formed from amnioblasts developed from the epiblast. The hypoblast is pushed down and ...
