What is the main reason why this week is named as the week of bilaminar germ disc?
What is the main reason why this week is named as the week of bilaminar germ disc?
- Because the trophoblast differentiates into cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast
- Because the blastocyst is partially embedded in the endometrial stroma
- Because the endometrial stroma near the implantation site is highly vascular
- Because each of the ectodermal germ layer (epiblast) and endodermal germ layer (hypoblast) form a flat disc (correct)

Study Notes
Week of Bilaminar Germ Disc
- Named as the week of bilaminar germ disc because the embryoblast differentiates into two layers: epiblast and hypoblast
Trophoblast
- Mitotic activity is seen in the cytotrophoblast layer during the 8th day of development
Embryoblast
- Epiblast differentiates into tall columnar cells and small cuboidal cells during the 8th day of development
- Hypoblast forms the lining of the amniotic cavity during the 8th day of development
- Epiblast forms a small cavity that enlarges to become the amniotic cavity during the 8th day of development
- Cells that form the roof of the amniotic cavity are located in the epiblast
Lacunar Stage
- Syncytiotrophoblast forms large lacunae known as trophoblastic lacunae during the lacunar stage of development
Uteroplacental Circulation
- Chorionic villi are responsible for establishing uteroplacental circulation during the 11th to 12th days of development
Exocoelomic Membrane
- Cells arising from the hypoblast give rise to the exocoelomic membrane (Heuser’s membrane) along the inside of the cytotrophoblast
Extraembryonic Mesoderm
- A new group of cells appears between the 11th to 12th days of development, forming a thin loose connective tissue layer called extraembryonic mesoderm
- Blood vessels develop in the extraembryonic mesoderm during the 11th to 12th days of development
- Extraembryonic mesoderm lining the cytotrophoblast is called exocoelomic membrane or Heuser’s membrane
- Endometrial cells degenerate during the 11th to 12th days of development
- The conceptus is completely embedded in the endometrial stroma during the 11th to 12th days of development
