Chapter 4 Exam 1 Flashcards
Cell Separate from epiblast- line outer layer of amniotic cavity
Amniblasts
Space b/t the epiblast & the cytotrophoblast
Amniotic cavity
Extaembryoniic somatic mesoderm & trophoblast become this
Chorion
Break down of uterine endometrium for nutrients
Embryonic nutrition
Top- layer- a columnar cell layer facing the cytotrophoblast
Eplayer
Lining of the yolk sac consisting of hypoblast & exocoelomic membrane
Heuser’s membrane
Also helps to maintain the corpus luteum in pregnancy
Human chorionic gonadotropin
Lower layer- a cuboidal cell layer facing the blastocyst
Hypoblast
Forms roof of the exocoelomic cavity, membrane, and mesoderm
Hypoblasts
Syntrophoblasts grows surrounding the cytotrophoblast developing spaces called
Lacunae
Fills lacunae on the 12th day
Maternal blood sinusis
Inner surface of cytotrophoblast
Somatic mesoderm
Outer surface of the yolk sac & amnion
Splanchnic mesoderm
Area surrounding the cytotrophoblasts
Syntrophoblasts
12th day of development when the maternal blood flows into the lacunae
Uteralplacental Circulation
