Amnion
Amnionic membrane is two cell layers As the amnion enlarges it encompasses the
embryo Amnion forms the epithelial layer of the
umbilical cord With embryo growth the amnion obliterates
the chorionic cavity Amnionic sac is fluid filled called amnionic
fluid: theembryo is bathed in the fluid

Amnion
![Page 11: Embryonic Membranes and the Placenta](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56816447550346895dd60d89/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Amniotic Fluid Up to week 20 - fluid is similar to fetal serum (keratinization) After 20 weeks – Contribution from urine, maternal serum filtered thru endothelium of nearby vessels, filtration from fetal vessels in cord Near birth - can contain fetal feces called meconium Near birth – amnionic fluid (500-1000 ml) exchanges every 3 hrs 1) across the amnion – exchange with maternal fluids. 2) fetal swallowing (20 ml/hour) – to gut – adsorption by fetus – out the umbilical cord to placenta. Hydraminos – Excess fluid (>2000 ml), esophageal atresia Oligohydramnios – Insufficient fluid (<500 ml), renal agenesis

Amnion Function
Mechanical protection: hydrostatic pressure
Allows free movement - which aids in neuromuscular
development Antibacterial Allow for fetal growth Protection from adhesions

Yolk Sac
Hypoblast - the primary yolk sac or Heuser's membrane.
Day 12 - Second wave of cell migration - forms definitive yolk sac
Early nutrition (2-3 weeks) for the embryo - later shrinking
Derivatives: Primordial germ cells The early gut, epithelium of the respiratory
and digestive tracts

Allantois Endodermal origin – caudal outpocketing of the
yolk sac Involved in early hematopoiesis The allantois blood vessels - artery and vein –
becomes the umbilical vessels Remnants of Allantois becomes the urachus
ligament that connects the belly button to the bladder

Chorion
Chorionic cavity (extraembryonic coelom)- lined with extraembryonic mesoderm
The Chorion / maternal endometrium forms the placenta
Chorion forms stem villi

Stem Villi
![Page 18: Embryonic Membranes and the Placenta](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56816447550346895dd60d89/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Stem Villi
Chorionic Plate – Stem villi extends from this tissue Primary stem villi (day 11-13) - finger-like
protrusions into endometrium – Secondary stem villi (day 16) - extraembryonicmesoderm invasion into villi core. Tertiary stem villus (21 day) - extraembryonic
vessels chorionic arteries and veins derived fromextraembryonic mesoderm.

Stem Villi
Cytotrophoblastic shell – surrounds embryo; direct contact with maternal decidual cells
Anchoring Villi – give off cytotrophoblastic extensions -
anchoring because they represent the real maternal embryo link
Floating Villi – branches off anchoring villi – dangles freely in maternal blood

Making the Placenta
By 8 weeks - chorionic stem villi over the entire surface of
the chorionic sac Those villi increase in size and more villi
form. The villi continue to enlarge during most
of gestation. Endometrial vessels - spiral arteries and
endometrial veins form

Placenta as an Endocrine Organ
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin – Corpus Luteum (declines after 8 weeks)
Progesterone – High levels by the end of first trimester
Estrogen – Synthesis involves enzymatic activity of fetal adrenal gland and liver
Chorionic Somatomammotropin – Human Placental Lactogen – similar to GH (growth, lactation, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism)
Placental Growth Hormone – similar to GH – Replaces maternal GH by 15 wks – enhances blood glucose levels

Should we look at a real one?
