Q

What is the main difference btw a complete vs partial hydatidiform mole?

A

Partial H. moles have some evidence of embryonic development.

Q

During gastrulation the cells of the epiblast undergo this type of transformatios?

43
Q

This develops from invaginating mesenchymal cells along the central axis of the embryonic disk?

A

notochordal process

44
Q

What is forming in all direction from the primitive streak?

47
Q

What are the functions of the notocord?

A
