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
