BILAMINAR & TRILAMINAR
EMBRYONIC DISCS Dr. Ahmed Fathalla Ibrahim
2
SECOND WEEK Completion of implantation of the blastocyst
Production of a bilaminar embryonic disc Formation of extraembryonic structures: amniotic cavity & amnion, yolk sac, chorionic sac & connecting stalk Appearance of primary chorionic villi Appearance of the prechordal plate
3
THIRD WEEK Appearance of the primitive streak
Development of the notochord Differentiation of the 3 germ layers (formation of a trilaminar germ disc) Beginning of formation of neural tube Completion of formation of chorionic villi
4
BILAMINAR DISC A flat, almost circular bilaminar plate of cells composed of 2 layers: Epiblast a layer of high columnar cells Hypoblast: a layer of small cuboidal cells
7
AMNIOTIC CAVITY & AMNION
Amniotic cavity: a space appears dorsal to the epiblast (primordium of amniotic cavity) Amniogenic cells (amnioblasts) separates from epiblast & forms the amnion which encloses the amniotic cavity N.B.: The amnion forms the roof of amniotic cavity The epiblast forms the floor of amniotic cavity & is continuous peripherally with amnion
8
YOLK SAC The hypoblast becomes continuous peripherally with the exocoelomic membrane to enclose the exocoelomic cavity PRIMARY YOLK SAC: has: A roof: formed by hypoblast A floor: formed by exocoelomic membrane A cavity: formed by exocoelomic cavity
9
YOLK SAC SECONDARY YOLK SAC: Smaller than primary yolk sac
Formed by migration of endodermal cells from hypoblast to enclose a portion of primary yolk sac The rest of primary yolk sac is pinched off
10
YOLK SAC SECONDARY YOLK SAC: has: A roof: formed by hypoblast
A floor: formed by endodermal cells migrating from hypoblast A cavity: formed by a portion of the cavity of primary yolk sac
11
EXTRAEMBRYONIC MESODERM
Formed by: Endodermal cells of yolk sac later on by primitive streak Surrounds amnion & yolk sac
12
CHORION It is formed of: Trophoblast Extraembryonic mesoderm
13
EXTRAEMBRYONIC COELOM
Isolated spaces filled with fluid appear within the extraembryonic mesoderm The spaces fuse to form the coelom The coelom divides the meosderm into 2 layers: Extraembryonic somatic mesoderm: between trophoblast & coelom Extraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm: between coelom & yolk sac
14
CONNECTING STALK It is a part of extraembryonic mesoderm that does not contain coelom It attaches the amnion & yolk sac to the chorion It indicates the future site of umbilical cord
15
CHORIONIC SAC It contains embryo + amniotic sac + yolk sac suspended by the connectiong stalk It is enclosed by the chorion
16
PRIMARY CHORIONIC VILLI
17
SECONDARY CHORIONIC VILLI
18
TERTIARY CHORIONIC VILLI
19
CHORIONIC VILLI DEVELOPMENT: During implantation, the trophoblast thickens at region of contact with endometrium & differentiates into: Outer syncytiotrophoblast: a layer containing multiple nuclei in a common cytoplasm with no cell boundaries (secretes HCG) Inner cytotrophoblast: a layer of mononucleated cells
20
STAGES OF CHORIONIC VILLI
PRIMARY: At the end of 2nd week, finger-like processes formed of outer syncytiotrophoblast & inner cytotrophoblast appear SECONDARY: Early in 3rd week, extraembryonic mesoderm extends inside the villi TERTIARY: During 3rd week, arterioles, venules & capillaries develop in the mesenchyme of villi & join umbilical vessels By the end of 3rd week, embryonic blood begins to flow slowly through capillaries in chorionic villi
21
PRECHORDAL PLATE
22
PRECHORDAL PLATE In a localized area in the median plane, the cuboidal cells of the hypoblast become columnar & form a thickening: prechordal plate The prechordal plate indicates the future cranial region & future site of mouth It is an important organizer of the head region
23
PRIMITIVE STREAK
24
PRIMITIVE STREAK & NODE
25
BILAMINAR & TRILAMINAR DISCS
27
PRIMITIVE STREAK It appears as a linear opacity in the epiblast of the caudal part of the embryo, in the median plane It results from proliferation of epiblast Primitive node: the enlarged cranial end of primitive streak Primitive Pit: a depression in primitive node Primitive groove: a narrow groove in primitive streak that is continuous with the primitive pit
28
PRIMITIVE STREAK IMPORTANCE: It forms embryonic mesoderm
It replaces cells of hypoblast from the roof of yolk sac & forms embryonic endoderm The primitive node forms the notochordal process It shares in the formation of extraembryonic mesoderm
