  2. Blighted ovum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blighted_ovum

    Transvaginal ultrasonography showing a gestational sac with a diameter of 28 mm, corresponding to a gestational age of approximately 7 weeks and 5 days. It contains a yolk sac (protruding from its lower part) but no embryo, even after scanning across all planes of the gestational sac, thus being diagnostic of an anembryonic gestation. Specialty ...

  3. Yolk sac - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yolk_sac

    The yolk sac is a membranous sac attached to an embryo, formed by cells of the hypoblast layer of the bilaminar embryonic disc. This is alternatively called the umbilical vesicle by the Terminologia Embryologica (TE), though yolk sac is far more widely used. The yolk sac is one of the fetal membranes and is important in early embryonic blood ...

  4. Gestational sac - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestational_sac

    Mean gestational sac diameter by gestational age. The blue line is the mean, and the green area delimits the 5th and the 95th percentiles. [2] A: Gestational sac, B: Crown-rump length of embryo, C: Amniotic sac, D: Yolk sac. The mean sac diameter [3] can effectively estimate the gestational age [4] between 5 and 6 weeks, with an accuracy of ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Monoamniotic twins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamniotic_twins

    There is a correlation between having a single yolk sac and having a single amniotic sac. [1] However, it is difficult to detect the number of yolk sacs, because the yolk sac disappears during embryogenesis. [1] Cord entanglement and compression generally progress slowly, allowing parents and medical caregivers to make decisions carefully. [4]

  7. Fetal membranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_membranes

    The yolk sac is a membranous sac attached to an embryo, formed by cells of the hypoblast layer of the bilaminar embryonic disc. This is alternatively called the umbilical vesicle . In humans, the yolk sac is important in early embryonic blood supply.

  8. Miscarriage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscarriage

    Mean gestational sac diameter of at least 25 mm and no embryo. Mean gestational sac diameter of 16–24 mm and no embryo. [110] [111] Absence of embryo with heartbeat at least 2 weeks after an ultrasound scan that showed a gestational sac without a yolk sac. Absence of embryo with heartbeat 7–13 days after an ultrasound scan that showed a ...

  9. Extraembryonic membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraembryonic_membrane

    the yolk sac which surrounds the yolk; the amnion which surrounds and cushions the embryo; the allantois which among avians stores embryonic waste and assists with the exchange of carbon dioxide with oxygen as well as the resorption of calcium from the shell, and
