16
Q

Endoderm

A

will form epithelial linings of digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems and their associated glands

17
Q

During embryonic period what happens

A
  • major organ systems almost completely formed
  • heart begins to beat
  • limb buds differentiate
  • embryonic membranes form
18
Q

Embryonic membranes

A

Chorion, amnion, yolk sac, allantois

19
Q

Amnion

A

derived from epiblast. forms amniotic cavity which surrounds embryo/fetus with amnion fluid

20
Q

Yolk sac

A

derived from hypoblast. forms part of gut, produces earliest blood cells, source of reproductive cells

21
Q

Allantois

A

out pocket of yolk sac, forms umbilical cord and urinary bladder
