Study Notes
Blastocyst & Bilaminar Disc
- The blastocyst forms from the morula
- The inner cell mass differentiates into hypoblasts (primary endoderm) and epiblasts (ectoderm)
- Appearance of body stalk and prochordal plate
- The hypoblasts differentiate by day 7
- The epiblasts appear next and form the amniotic cavity by enlarging
- The bilaminar embryonic disc is formed by the hypoblast and epiblast
- The primary yolk sac is formed by the hypoblast
- Extraembryonic mesoderm fills the space between cytotrophoblast and amnion
- Extraembryonic mesoderm is derived from the yolk sac endoderm
- The extraembryonic coelom (chorionic cavity) is formed by the fusion of clefts in the extraembryonic mesoderm
- The chorionic cavity splits the extraembryonic mesoderm into somatic and splanchnic layers
- The primary yolk sac shrinks to form the secondary (definitive) yolk sac
- The chorionic sac is formed during the second week
Chorionic Villi & Embryotroph
- The syncytiotrophoblast shows villous projections and lacunar spaces
- The syncytiotrophoblast secretes proteolytic enzymes to erode the endometrium and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to sustain the corpus luteum
Endometrial Gland
- The syncytiotrophoblast erodes the endometrium to allow the blastocyst to burrow into the compact layer of endometrium
- This process begins on the 5th day and finishes on the 10th day
- This is part of the implantation process
