Chorion, amnion and gestational (yolk) sac. Chorionic hematomas can be caused by the separation of the chorion from the endometrium (inner membrane of the uterus). Hematomas are classified by their location between tissue layers: [4] Subchorionic hematomas, the most common type, are between the chorion and endometrium.
The chorion and amnion membranes are labelled in this depiction of a growing fetus in the uterus. The amniotic sac consists of two parts: The outer membrane is the chorion. It is closest to the mother and physically supports the much thinner amnion. The chorion is the last and outermost of the membranes that make up the amniotic sac. [13]
The trophoblast layer differentiates into amnion and the chorion, which then comprise the fetal membranes. [4] The amnion is the innermost layer and, therefore, contacts the amniotic fluid, the fetus and the umbilical cord. [5] The internal pressure of the amniotic fluid causes the amnion to be passively attached to the chorion. [4]
Upon a second exposure to the maze (e.g. 24 h later) the aversive stimuli is no longer presented. Retention of the aversive memory is assessed based on the relative time spent in the non-aversive arm compared to the previously aversive arm and anxiety behavior is calculated based on the time spent in the open arms during the training session.

chorion. Also serosa and false amnion. 1. One of four extraembryonic membranes formed during the development of amniotes, arising from trophoblast and somatopleure as a corollary of the amnion and enclosing both the amnion and the allantois. The chorion provides the fetal contribution to the formation of the placenta. [1] [2] 2.
In velamentous cord insertion, the vessels of the umbilical cord are improperly inserted in the chorioamniotic membrane, and hence the vessels traverse between the amnion and the chorion towards the placenta. [1] [11] Without Wharton's jelly protecting the vessels, the exposed vessels are susceptible to compression and rupture. [1] [9]
The amnion is a feature of the vertebrate clade Amniota, which includes reptiles, birds, and mammals. Amphibians and fish lack the amnion and thus are anamniotes (non-amniotes). The amnion stems from the extra-embryonic somatic mesoderm on the outer side and the extra-embryonic ectoderm or trophoblast on the inner side. [1]
The chorion and the amnion together form the amniotic sac. In humans it is formed by extraembryonic mesoderm and the two layers of trophoblast that surround the embryo and other membranes; [ 1 ] the chorionic villi emerge from the chorion, invade the endometrium , and allow the transfer of nutrients from maternal blood to fetal blood.
