Q

MESOBLASTIC PHASE

A

19th day of embryonic development
- Cells from mesoderm migrate to the yolk
sac
- Some of the cells from primitive
erythroblasts in the central cavity of the yolk
sac
Primitive erythroblasts are important
Early embryonic development
- Produces hemoglobin needed for delivery of
oxygen to rapidly developing embryonic
tissues
● Cells of mesodermal origin also migrate to
the aorta-gonadmesonephros (AGM) region
and give rise to hematopoietic stem cells
(HSCs) for definitive or permanent adult
hematopoiesis
