Study Notes
Bilaminar Disc Formation
- Bilaminar Disc Formation occurs around day 8-9 post-fertilization, shortly after implantation.
- The inner cell mass differentiates into two distinct layers, creating a flat, two-layered structure called the bilaminar embryonic disc.
- This process is crucial for establishing the embryo's body plan, and is a precursor to more complex differentiation.
Two Layers of the Bilaminar Disc
Epiblast
- A columnar layer of cells on the dorsal side of the bilaminar disc.
- Critically important for development of the entire embryo, forming all three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm).
Hypoblast
- A layer of cuboidal cells on the ventral side of the bilaminar disc.
- Contributes to extraembryonic structures, like the yolk sac, but doesn't directly form part of the embryo itself.
Associated Structures
Amniotic Cavity
- Forms within the epiblast layer, expanding to cushion and support embryo development.
Primary Umbilical Vesicle (Primary Yolk Sac)
- Formed by hypoblast-derived cells.
- Serves as a site for initial nutrient exchange and hematopoiesis (blood formation).
Importance of Bilaminar Disc Formation
- Establishes dorsal-ventral polarity for the embryo
- Prepares the embryo for the next critical stage of development, gastrulation.
