extraembryonic endoderm, primary yolk sac
What is the lining of he embryoblast called ?
heuser’s membrane
What is secreted between the extraembryonic endoderm and the cytotrophoblast ?
extraembryonic reticulum
what are the two layers of the extraembryonic mesoderm
somatopleuric if contact with trophoblast and splanchnopleuric if contact with the embryo
what does the connecting stalk become
unbilical cord
what does the syncytiotrophoblast secrete
HcG
what happens on day 9?
the uteronplacental circulation begins to form trophoblastic lacunae and the maternal sinusoids
what is the chroion composed of ?
cytotrophoblasts, synctiotrophoblasts and extraembryonic mesoderm
what does a hydatidiform mole result from ?
fertilization of an empty oocyte, typicaly secretes high levels of HcG
what does polyhydramnios mean ?
too much amnionic gluid, could be the result from a GI problem
what does oligohydramnios mean
too little amnionic fluid and could be suffering from a kidney problem
