    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.

  3. Choriogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choriogenesis

    In developmental biology, choriogenesis is the formation of the chorion, an outer membrane of the placenta that eventually forms chorionic villi that allow the transfer of blood and nutrients from mother to fetus. [1]

  4. Fetal membranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_membranes

    The fetal membranes are the four extraembryonic membranes, associated with the developing embryo, and fetus in humans and other mammals. They are the amnion, chorion, allantois, and yolk sac. [1] The amnion and the chorion are the chorioamniotic membranes that make up the amniotic sac which surrounds and protects the embryo. [2]

  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. Vitelline envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitelline_envelope

    It varies in thickness between different insects and even varies at different parts of the egg. It lies inside the outer shell of the egg, which is commonly referred to as the chorion. [1] The presence of the vitelline membrane defines the embryo's boundaries.

  7. Bilaminar embryonic disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilaminar_embryonic_disc

    The amnion and chorion are composed of extraembryonic ectoderm and mesoderm, whereas the yolk sac is composed of extraembryonic endoderm and mesoderm. By day 13, the connecting stalk , a dense portion of extraembryonic mesoderm, restrains the embryonic disc in the gestational sac.

  8. Egg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg

    Membranes: allantois, chorion, amnion, and vitellus/yolk. Six commercial chicken eggs — view from the top against a white background An egg is an organic vessel grown by an animal to carry a possibly fertilized egg cell (a zygote ) and to incubate from it an embryo within the egg until the embryo has become an animal fetus that can survive on ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conceptus

    A conceptus (from Latin: concipere, to conceive) is an embryo and its appendages (adnexa), the associated membranes, placenta, and umbilical cord; the products of conception [1] or, more broadly, "the product of conception at any point between fertilization and birth."
