A choriovitelline placenta is a placenta formed by the yolk sac and chorion. In a choriovitelline placenta, the yolk sac fuses with the chorion and, subsequently, wrinkles develop that hold the embryo to the uterine wall, thus forming the choriovitelline placenta. The chorionic blood vessels are connected with the vitelline blood vessel of the ...
The amnion and the chorion are the chorioamniotic membranes that make up the amniotic sac which surrounds and protects the embryo. [2] The fetal membranes are four of six accessory organs developed by the conceptus that are not part of the embryo itself, the other two are the placenta , and the umbilical cord .
Placenta can also be divided according to what kind of structure it develops from. There are two vessel-rich features in the amniote, the yolk sac and the allantois. When the chorion fuses with the former, the result is a choriovitelline placenta. When it fuses with the latter, the result is a chorioallantoic placenta.
Identical twins have identical genomes in the immediate aftermath of twinning. About two-thirds of monozygotic twins share the same placenta, arising by cleavage before the fourth day of development; the other third have separate placentas because cleavage has taken place after the fourth day after choriogenesis has begun.
The part of the chorion that is in contact with the decidua capsularis undergoes atrophy, so that by the fourth month scarcely a trace of the villi is left. This part of the chorion becomes smooth, [2] and is named the chorion laeve (from the Latin word levis, meaning smooth). As it takes no share in the formation of the placenta, this is also ...
These efforts to better understand female longevity and ovarian aging are very different from the male-dominated world of biohacking, which seems obsessed with reversing the aging process and ...
Due to the fact that placental mammals and marsupials nourish their developing embryos via the placenta, the ovum in these species does not contain significant amounts of yolk, and the yolk sac in the embryo is relatively small in size, in comparison with both the size of the embryo itself and the size of yolk sac in embryos of comparable developmental age from lower chordates.
