Primary: The chorionic villi are at first small and non-vascular. 13–15 days: trophoblast only [1] Secondary: The villi increase in size and ramify, while the mesoderm grows into them. 16–21 days: trophoblast and mesoderm [1] Tertiary: Branches of the umbilical artery and umbilical vein grow into the mesoderm, and in this way the chorionic ...
An undifferentiated cytotrophoblastic stem cell will differentiate into a villous cytotrophoblast, which is what constitutes primary chorionic villi, and will eventually coalesce into villous syncytiotrophoblast. The formation of syncytiotrophoblast from cytotrophoblast is a terminal differentiation step of trophoblastic cells.
In the placenta, the intervillous space is the space between chorionic villi, and contains maternal blood.. The trophoblast, which is a collection of cells that invades the maternal endometrium to gain access to nutrition for the fetus, proliferates rapidly and forms a network of branching processes which cover the entire embryo and invade and destroy the maternal tissues.
At the end of the second week of development, some cells of the trophoblast penetrate and form rounded columns into the syncytiotrophoblast. These columns are known as primary villi. At the same time, other migrating cells form into the exocoelomic cavity a new cavity named the secondary or definitive yolk sac, smaller than the primitive yolk sac.
EVTs that derive from CYT cells on the surface of placental chorionic villi that come into contact with the uterine wall - at the placental bed - begin to express the HLA-G antigen. [2] Extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells migrate from anchoring villi, and invade into the decidua basalis.
The future of congressional investigations could be defined by Republican eagerness to probe private industry and less willingness to defer to the Justice Department, experts say. House ...
Respiratory virus season is officially here in the U.S., making it a prime time to catch a cold. And because the average adult gets two or three colds a year, you could be dealing with an ...
Primary yolk sac: it is the vesicle which develops in the second week, its floor is represented by Heuser's membrane and its ceiling by the hypoblast. It is also known as the exocoelomic cavity .
