Chapter 3 Flashcards
extraembryonic structures formed in second week
amniotic cavity, amnion, umbilical vesicle (yolk sac), connecting stalk, chorioic sac
implantation occurs in what time range
6-10 days after ovulation (restricted time period)
pinopodes
microvilli of endometrial cells
factors making endometrium favorable to implantation
pinopodes, cell adhesion molecules, cytokines, prostaglandins, homeobox genes, growth factors, and matrix metallo-proteins
connective tissue cells around implantation site do what
accumulate glycogen and lipids, assume polyhedral appearance
embryonic disc layers
epiblast - thick layer of high columnar cells related to amnionic cavity; hypoblast - small cuboidal cells adjacent exocoelomic cavity
embryotroph
fluid in lacunar spaces (formed from maternal blood and cellular debris fom eroded uterine glands); provides nourishment
10-day human conceptus
completely embedded in the endometrium (closing plug present for 2 days)
12-day embryo
adjacent syncytiotrophoblastic lacunae fuse to form lacunar networks; gives sponglike appearance; primordia of intervillous spaces of placenta
extraembryonic coelomic spaces
fuse to form extraembryonic coelom; surrounds amnion and unbilicle vesicle
secondary unbilical vesicle
extraembryonic endodermal cells that migrate from hypoblast inside primary umbilical vesicle; yolk sac
umbilicle vesicle functions
site of origin of primordial germ cells; may have a role in selective transfer of nutrients to embryo
primary chorionic villi
end of second week
extraembryonic coelom splits extraembryonic mesoderm into 2 layers
extraembryonic somatic mesoderm and splanchnic mesoderm
extraembryonic somatic mesoderm
lining the trophoblast and covering amnion
