syncytiotrophoblast
cytotrophoblast,
A small cavity appears within the epiblast,
enlarges to become the amniotic cavity. Epiblast cells
adjacent to the cytotrophoblast are called
amnioblasts; together with the rest of the epiblast,
they line the amniotic cavity
The endometrial stroma - is edematus and
highly vascular.and large, tortuous glands secrete
abundant glycogen and mucus. – Decidua reation
amniotic cavity
DAY 9
The vacuoles appear in the syncytium. When these vacuoles
fuse, and form large lacunae -- lacunar stage
Flattened cells appear between the inner surface of
cytotrophoblast and outer surface of primary yolk sac is called
extraembryonic mesoderm or exocoelomic (Heuser) membrane
that lines the inner surface of the cytotrophoblast
This membrane, together with the hypoblast, forms the lining
of the exocoelomic cavity, or primitive yolk sac.
DAYS 11 AND 12
Lacunar spaces in the syncytiurn form an
intercommunicating network.
Endothelial capillaries in the maternal stroma become
congested and dilated, are known as sinusoids.
Maternal blood enters the lacunar system
establishing the uteroplacental circulation.
The extraemhryonic coelom splits the extra-
embryonic mesoderm into two layers
• extraembryonic somatic mesoderm, lining the
trophoblast and covering the amnion
• extraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm,
surrounding the yolk sac.
The extraemhryonic somatic mesoderm and the two
layers of trophoblast form the chorion .
The chorion forms the wall of the chorionic sac, within
which the embryo and its amniotic and yolk sacs are suspended
by the connecting stalk.
The extraembryonic coelom is now called the chorionic
cavity.
DAY 13
Bleeding occurs at the implantation site as a result of
increased blood flow into the lacunar spaces. it may be
confused with normal menstrual bleeding and, therefore, may
cause inaccuracy in determining the expected delivery date.
The hypoblast produces additional cells that migrate
along the inside of the exocoeloniic membrane .These cells
proliferate and gradually form a new cavity within the
exocoelomic cavity is k/a secondary yolk sac or definitive yolk
sac
During its formation, large
portions of the exocoelomic cavity
are pinched off. These portions
are represented by exocoelomic cysts,
which are often found in the
extraembryonic coelom or
chorionic cavity
DAY 13
Meanwhile, the extraembryonic coelom expands and
forms a large cavity, the chorionic cavity. The extraembryonic
mesoderm lining the inside of the cytotrophoblast is then known
as the chorionic plate.
The only place where extraembryonic mesodenn traverses
the chorionic cavity is in the connecting stalk With development of
blood vessels, the stalk becomes the umbilical cord.
Applied
hCG from syncytio – end of 2nd week
• The syncytiotrophoblast is responsible for hormone production
including human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). By the end of the
second week, the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone is
produced by syncytiotrophoblast .It is detected by
radioimmunoassays, - basis for pregnancy test.
Primitive node Primitive streak Detach from the epiblast & slip
beneath it (invagination).
