Question
Answer
After implantation, the trophoblast above the epiblast produces a new layer known as the ...   Syncytiotrophblast (synctytium - multiple nuclei w/i extended, continous cytoplasm)  
🗑
Trophoblast cells that don't become part of the syncytiotrophoblast   Cytotrophoblast  
🗑
Syncytial nuclei of syncytiotrophoblast   Amniotic (they don't divide); nuclei proliferate by contribution from cytotrophoblast  
🗑
What causes the syncytiotrophoblast to expand?   As cytotrophoblast cells above epiblast divide, they often fuse with synctiotrophoblast to donate nuclei; syncytiotrophoblast expands; penetrates endometrial stroma, drawing blastocyst behind it  
🗑
3 layers of embryoblast   Amnion, epiblast, hypoblast  
🗑
Amnion   Thin membrane which forms along interior of cytotrophoblast  
🗑
Epiblast   Sheet of high columnar cells; with exception of primordial germ cells, entire fetus will develop from this layer  
🗑
Amniotic cavity   Fluid-filled cavity developed between amnion and epiblast; fetus will grow into space  
🗑
Amniocentesis   Procedure where sample of amniotic fluid is withdrawn from amniotic cavity and analyzed for markers (i.e. a-fetoprotein) to detect developmental defects (ex: downs, cystic fibrosis)  
🗑
When is amniocentesis first performed?   14th week of gestation, amniotic cavity first appears during bilaminar stage  
🗑
Hypoblast   Sheet of small cuboidal cells between epiblast and blastocele; produces yolk sac  
🗑
Bilaminar germ disc   Epiblast and hypoblast together; forms sheet of cells suspended between amniotic cavity and blastocele  
🗑
When does the blastocyst completely embed in the endometrium and fibrin coagulum closes hole that was created on surface of endometrium?   Day 9  
🗑
Extraembryonic endoderm (exocoelomic membrane)   Hypoblast spread around inner surface of cytotrophoblast creating think membrane of flattened cells  
🗑
Primary yolk sac (exocoelomic cavity)   Space bound by extraembryonic endoderm and hypoblast; supplanted blastocele  
🗑
Lacunae   Spaces in syncytiotrophoblast; period referred to as lacunar stage  
🗑
Extraembryonic mesoderm   Layer that forms between cytotrophoblast and extraembryonic endoderm; day 11-12; derived from extraembryonic endoderm; composed of loose connective tissue  
🗑
Extraembryonic lacunae form where?   Mesoderm  
🗑
Chorionic cavity   Expansion and coalescence of lacunae in mesoderm; form space within extraembryonic mesoderm  
🗑
Splanchnic extraembryonic mesoderm   Layer lining yolk sac  
🗑
Somatic   Layer lining cytotrophoblast  
🗑
How many layers does the chorion consist of surrounding the chorionic cavity?   3 - somatic extraembryonic mesoderm, cytotrophoblast, syncytiotrophoblast  
🗑
Connecting stalk   Projection of extraembryonic mesoderm that remains attached to amnion, germ disc, and secondary yolk sac; develops into umbilical cord  
🗑
Placental circulation   Begins to develop at embryonic pole, between syncytiotrophoblast of embryo and surrounding endometrium of mother  
🗑
What produces the sinusoids?   Penetrating syncytiotrophoblast that erodes endothelial lining of maternal capillaries; network of lacunar spaces forms in syncytiotrophoblast; sinusoids & lacunae expand = continuous  
🗑
Decidua reaction   Glandular secretions cause endometrium surrounding embryo to fill w/ glycogen & lipids; decidua is region of endometrium that will develop into maternal component of placenta  
🗑
Size of blastocyst at day 14   ~0.5cm in diamter  
🗑
Reason for delay in diagnosis of pregnancy   Increased blood flow in lacunar space = bleeding; corresponds with 28th day of menstrual cycle (confused for menstrual bleeding)  
🗑
Exocoelomic cyst (day 13)   As chorionic cavity expands, portion of primary yolk sac pinched off and vanishes  
🗑
Name of yolk sac after exocoelomic cyst breaks off   Secondary yolk sac (yolk sac)  
🗑
What cells contribute to yolk sac?   Hypoblastic cells contribute by migrating along splanchnic extraembryonic mesoderm  
🗑
