  2. Blighted ovum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blighted_ovum

    When small, the sac cannot be distinguished from the early normal pregnancy, as there may be a yolk sac, though a fetal pole is not seen. In anembryonic pregnancy, levels of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) typically rise for a time, which can cause positive pregnancy test results and pregnancy symptoms such as tender ...

  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 ...

    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. 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]

    While the primary yolk sac is forming, extraembryonic mesoderm migrate into the blastocyst cavity and fill it with loosely packed cells. When the extraembryonic mesoderm is separated into two portions, a new gap arises called the gestational sac. This new cavity is responsible for detaching the embryo and, its amnion and yolk sac, from the far ...

  8. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    The inner cell mass will give rise to the pre-embryo, [9] the amnion, yolk sac and allantois, while the fetal part of the placenta will form from the outer trophoblast layer. The embryo plus its membranes is called the conceptus, and by this stage the conceptus has reached the uterus.

  9. 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]
