  2. Amnion nodosum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnion_nodosum

    These lesions can be found on the amniotic surface, embedded in the amniotic mesoderm, or projecting through the amnion into the spongy layer cleft between the amnion and the chorion. [1] The amniotic epithelium can be present as a complete or incomplete cell layer between the nodule's basal side and the basement membrane.

  3. Amniotic sac - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amniotic_sac

    The yolk sac, amnion, chorion, and allantois are the four extraembryonic membranes that lie outside of the embryo and are involved in providing nutrients and protection to the developing embryo. [5] They form from the inner cell mass; the first to form is the yolk sac followed by the amnion which grows over the developing embryo. The amnion ...

  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. Fetal membranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_membranes

    The trophoblast layer differentiates into amnion and the chorion, which then comprise the fetal membranes. [4] The amnion is the innermost layer and, therefore, contacts the amniotic fluid, the fetus and the umbilical cord. [5] The internal pressure of the amniotic fluid causes the amnion to be passively attached to the chorion. [4]

  6. Amnion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnion

    The amnion (pl.: amnions or amnia) is a membrane that closely covers human and various other embryos when they first form. It fills with amniotic fluid , which causes the amnion to expand and become the amniotic sac that provides a protective environment for the developing embryo.

  7. Umbilical cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilical_cord

    The embryo is surrounded by the thin membranes of the amniotic sac, the umbilical cord is seen in the center, attaching the embryo to the placenta. The umbilical cord develops from and contains remnants of the yolk sac and allantois. It forms by the fifth week of development, replacing the yolk sac as the source of nutrients for the embryo. [2]

  9. Amniotic fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amniotic_fluid

    Tubes filled with amniotic fluid for amniocentesis. The amniotic fluid is the protective liquid contained by the amniotic sac of a gravid amniote.This fluid serves as a cushion for the growing fetus, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between mother and fetus.
