Exocoelomic Cavity
The space within the exocoelomic membrane, also known as the primitive yolk sac, important for early embryonic development.
Hypoblast
Hypoblast

Study Notes
Presenter Information
- Presenter: Dr. Eman El Sawaf
- Affiliation: Anatomy & Embryology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Helwan University
Topic Overview
- Module: Basic Medical Science II
- Subtopic: Anatomy and General Embryology
Embryological Development
- The presentation focuses on development events during the second week (days 8 and 9) of gestation
- Specifically, the topic covers the bilaminar germ disc stage of embryonic development
Day 8 Blastocyst
- Implantation: The blastocyst is partially embedded into the endometrial stroma.
- Trophoblast differentiation: The trophoblast differentiates into two layers:
- Cytotrophoblast (mononucleated cells)
- Syncytiotrophoblast (multinucleated zone without clear cell boundaries)
- Embryoblast differentiation: The inner cell mass (embryoblast) differentiates into two layers:
- Hypoblast (small cuboidal cells near the blastocyst cavity)
- Epiblast (high columnar cells near the amniotic cavity)
- Formation of the Bilaminar embryonic disc: The two layers (hypoblast and epiblast) form a flat disc
- Amniotic Cavity Formation: A small cavity appears within the epiblast, growing to become the amniotic cavity. Cells near the cytotrophoblast are called amnioblasts
Day 9 Blastocyst
- Implantation: The blastocyst is deeply embedded within the endometrium.
- Defect closure: The penetration defect in the surface epithelium is closed by a fibrin coagulum.
- Syncytiotrophoblast vacuoles: Vacuoles appear in the syncytiotrophoblast.
- Formation of large lacunae: When the vacuoles fuse, they form large lacunae.
- Lacunar stage: This marks a stage in the formation of the embryonic circulation.
- Exocoelomic membrane: The hypoblast forms a thin membrane called the exocoelomic (Heuser) membrane, (flattened cells).
- Exocoelomic cavity (primitive yolk sac): The exocoelomic membrane delineates the exocoelomic cavity, which is the primitive yolk sac.
Other Important Points
- Objectives: Students should be able to describe the events in the second week of development.
- Reference: Langman's Medical Embryology 13th Edition by T.W. Sadler is cited as a reference source.
