26
Q

Provides the nutrition and gas exchange between the mother and developing embryo

A

Yolk sac

27
Q

Takes place in yolk sac before the liver and bone marrow eventually take over. It is the provision of oxygen to organs.

A

Primitive hematopoiesis

28
Q

Remnant of yolk sac after birth

A

Meckel’s diverticulum

29
Q

Blood supply is provided by which vessel during the 6th day of incubation?

A

Vitelline vessels

30
Q

the outermost membrane surrounding the embryo in mammals, birds and reptiles, also involved in gas and nutrient exchange due to its vascularity

A

CHORION

31
Q

Serves as the cushion to protect the embryo

A

Chorionic fluid

32
Q

the fetal part of placenta

A

chorion

33
Q

the maternal component of placenta

A

decidua basalis

34
Q

Membranous sac that intimately encloses the embryo when first formed. It is which serves to provide a protective environment for the developing embryo or fetus.

A

AMNION

35
Q

In the early weeks of pregnancy is mostly
water that comes from the body. After about 20 weeks of pregnancy, the baby’s urine makes up most of the fluid.

A

Amniotic fluid

36
Q

A hollow sac-like structure filled with clear fluid that forms part of a developing amniote’s conceptus. Helps the embryo exchange gases and handle liquid waste

A

ALLANTOIS

37
Q

Are the continuation of the sinus venosus of the heart.

A

Allantoic veins

38
Q

Shape of allantois for cattle, sheep and pigs

A

Anchor shaped

39
Q

Shape of allantois for dogs, cats and horses

A

Tube-shaped

40
Q

the connecting stalk between the fetus and the placenta

A

UMBILICAL CORD

41
Q

True or false in cattle, sheep and pigs, the umbilical cord ruptures as the fetus passes through the birth canal.

A

True

42
Q

True or false in horses, dogs and cats, the umbilical cord normally does not break as a result of the action of the dam after the fetus has been born

A

False - It breaks

43
Q

A structure formed by the apposition of the fetal and maternal tissues

A

Placenta

44
Q

The formation, type and structure, or arrangement of the placenta

A

Placentation

45
Q

Its function is to transfer nutrients and electrolytes, respiratory gases, and water from maternal tissue to a growing embryo, and in some instances to remove waste from the embryo

A

Placenta

46
Q

2 Types of Placenta

A

Choriovitelline and Chorioallantoic.

47
Q

when the fused vascular choriovitelline membranes become attached to the endometrium.

A

choriovitelline placenta

48
Q

becomes attached to the endometrium.
⁻ definitive form of placentation in higher mammals.
