TRUE
What week does this occur?
Bilaminar Germ Disc
o Focus is the embryoblast
o Bilaminar - embryoblast dividing into two layers
2nd Week of Development
T or F
In the 8 th day of development the mother already knows shes pregnanat
FALSE
Day 8
o Not yet know that mother is pregnant
Trophoblast Two Layers:
Cytotrophoblast
Syncitiotrophoblast
Embryoblast Two Layers
Hypoblast Layer
Epiblast Layer
- adjacent to amniotic cavity
Epiblast Layer
adjacent to blastocyst
cavity
Hypoblast Layer
outer, where cells
from cytotrophoblast migrate and fuse,
arrange and package
Syncitiotrophoblast
inner, where mitotic
figures are found. Mitosis, this is where your
cells abruptly divide
Cytotrophoblast
T or F
Epi means above; Hypo means below; Cavity
means space
TRUE
What day does this occur?
Epiblast give rise to amnioblasts that line the
amniotic cavity - it will produce its lining
DAY 9
What day does this occur?
Hypoblast cells will join with the exocoelomic
membrane to produce a lining surrounding the
primitive yolk sac
Day 9
T or F
Primitive Yolk Sac or Exocoelomic Cavity or
Heuser’s Membrane was the Blastocyst Cavity
TRUE
Day 10 is the
Day 10
● The rest day
When?
● Chorionic Cavity or Extraembryonic Cavity develops from the Primitive Yolk Sac
● Embryo is completely embedded into the uterus
Day 11 and 12
When?
Occurrence of bleeding at the implantation site as a result in increased blood flow into the lacunar
spaces
DAY 13
T or F
Lacunar Spaces are found in the
syncitiotrophoblast
TRUe
What produces cells that proliferate and form
new cavity within primary yolk sac known as
Secondary Yolk Sac
Hypoblast
