vascular structure within the fetal liver that connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava and allowes oxygenated blood to bypass the liver and return directly to the heart

Fetal membranes are comprised of
Chorion
Amnion
Allantois
Yolk sac
Chorion
originates from trophoblastic cells and remains in contact with trophoblasts throughout pregnancy
Amnion
develops at 28th menstrual day; is attached to margins of embryonic disk. On page 1223 in the book as well
Allantois
a tubular extension of the endoderm of the yolk sac
that extends with the allantoic vessels into the connecting
stalk of theembryo. In human embryos, allantoic vessels
become the umbilical vessels and the chorionic villi.
yolk sac
circular structure within the gestational sac seen on ultrasound between 4-10 weeks of gestational age; supplies nutrition, facilitates waste removal and is the origin of early hematopoietic stem cells in the embryo; it lies between the chorion and the amnion
Decidual basalis
the decidual reaction that occurs between the blastocyte and the myometrium
Chorionic plate
the fetal surface of the placenta
Decidua capsularis
Reaction occurring over blastocyst closest to endometrial cavity
Decidua vera (parietalis)
Reaction except for areas beneath and above implanted
basal plate
maternal side of the placenta
functions and activities of the placenta
respiration
nutrition
excretion
protection
storage
hormonal production
Respiration
Transfer of oxygen from maternal blood across the placental membrane into fetal blood is by diffusion. The placenta acts as fetal lungs
