The fetal membrane perform 4 major functions?
nutrition, respiration, excretion and protection
The fetal membranes consist of four parts:
yolk sac,amnion,chorion,allantois
primary yolk sac is complete at day nr?
8th
Secondary yolk sac is complete day nr?
9-12th
What is hematopoiesis?
is the formation of blood cellular components. All cellular blood components are derived from haematopoietic stem cells.
What is the AMNION?
The amnion is a membrane building the amniotic sac that surrounds and protects an embryo.
What is the composition +
building blocks of the of AMNION?
Made out of AMNIOBLASTS,
contains 99% water, proteins, glucose, hormones inorganic salts
How large is the amniotic sac after 10, 20, 37 weeks?
30,350,1000ml
Amnioblasts produce what?
produce amniotic fluid. Parts of this fluid comes from maternal tissue fluid by diffusion.
Most of the amniotic fluid passes through the?
amniochorionic membrane and later enters the uterine capillares.
How dose Water return to amniotic sac?
through the fetal urinary tract.
4 Major functions of Amniotic fluid functions?
Permits symmetrical external growth of the embryo and fetus, Amortization, Helps control body temperature of embryo, induce digestive and urinary tracts development.
Amniotic fluid is swallowed by the fetus thus influencing development of?
the digestive and urinary tracts
Amortization is a processes that?
protects embryo from external trauma
What happens after 4th month with the amnion
Walls of amnion form the epithelial covering the umbilical cord.
The embryo, suspended in amniotic fluid by the umbilical cord, floats freely
high lvl of α-fetoprotein indicates what?
neural tube defects
What is the Allantois?
the fetal membrane lying below the chorion, formed as an outgrowth of the embryo’s gut. it forms part of the placenta.
Allantois do what at day 16?
froms a sausage-shape that runs from the wall of yolk sac into the connecting stalk.
Allantois do what 3-5 weeks?
early blood vessels formation in its wall. These blood vessels formed the umbilical arteries and veins
Allantois do what 10-12 weeks?
forms the urachus (is connected with urinary bladder) which after birth becomes the median umbilical ligament
chorion primary villus comes when and is formed from?
end of 2nd week from trophoblast
chorion secondary villus comes when and is formed from?
3rd week, trophoblast and extraembryonic mesoderm
chorion tetiary villus comes when and formes what?
4th week, blood vessels
chorion turns into a system of?
vessels, supplying fetus in nutrients and oxygen
The villi at the embryonic pole is called?
villous chorion, the rest of chorion is smooth chorion
From what cells is the secondary yolk sac originated from?
Extraembryonic splachnic mesoderm and hypoblast
What is the yolk stalk developed into?
Umbilical cord
What happens with the yolk sac after the second month?
It detach from the midgut loop
After how long is the the yolk sac no longer a fetal membrane?
At the 4th month
What does the yolk sac do at 2-3 week?
Transfer nutrients to the embryo from trophoblast to embryonic disc
What happens in the yolk sac at 3 week?
Gonoccyte migrate from the wall of yolk sac to the gonads
What does the yolk sac do at 3 week(blood)?
Angiogenesis
What does the yolk sac do at 4-5 week(blood)?
Blood vessels, arteries and veins
What happens to the yolk sac at 4 week?
The endoderm of the yolk sac is incorporated into the embryo and forms the primitive gut
What forms the epithelial covering of the umbilicus?
Walls of amnion
What parts is included in the umbilical cord?
Two umbilical arteries, yolk stalk, umbilical vein, wall of amnion, wharton’s jelly (CT)
What does the fetal sac consist of(4)?
deciduas capsularis and parietalis, smooth chorion, wall of amnion.
From where does allantois develop from?
From the wall of yolk sac extending to the connecting stalk
Explain the blood circulation system to the fetus?
Vessels in the chorionic villi contact vessels in the chorionic wall - > then umbilical vessels in the connecting stalk -> blood circulation system to the fetus
The placenta gets divided into two parts?
Fetal part (villous chorion) and maternal part (decidua basalis)
What does placental membrane consist of?
Endothelium of villus, connective tissue of villus, trophoblast
What are the functions of the placenta ?
Transport gases,transport nutrients, alimination of waste material, endocrine secretion, barrier to microorganisms
Name the glycol hormones that are produced?
hCG(human chorionic gonadotropin) and hCS(human chorionic somatomammotropin)
human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG) do what?
similar to LH-maintains the corpus luteum; after 8th week its secretion declines; pregnancy test
human chorionic somatomammotropin(hCS) do what?
It regulates carbohydrate and protein metabolism of the mother to ensure delivery to the fetus of glucose for energy and protein for fetal growth
How is the immunological respons inhibited in fetus?
Α-fetoprotein, igM
Where is alpha–fetoprotein produced?
In yolk sac and in liver
What does alpha–fetoprotein do?
Cause immunesuppression
Heuser's membrane is made of?
and is part of what?
cells from hypoblast.
part of prim.yolk sac,
what covers the secondary yolk sac?
Extraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm
What are Gonocytes?
primordial germ cells (PGCs),Early in development at the time of gastrulation a small group of cells are "put aside" to later form oocytes and spermatozoa.
What are hemangioblast?
extraembryonic mesoderm cells that that gives rise to both vascular endothelium (endothelial cells) and primary blood cells
hCG causes what?
Corpus luteum to live longer -> more progesteron -> the stromal cells close to egg enlarge -> accumulates glycogen and lipids
functional endometrium turns into what after what?
DECIDUAL REACTION(due to hCG) turns in into DECIDUA
