Amnion - Wikipedia
The amnion is a feature of the vertebrate clade Amniota, which includes reptiles, birds, and mammals. Amphibians and fish lack the amnion and thus are anamniotes (non-amniotes). The amnion stems from the extra-embryonic somatic mesoderm on the outer side and the extra-embryonic ectoderm or trophoblast on the inner side.
Amniotic sac - Wikipedia
The amniotic cavity is the closed sac between the embryo and the amnion, containing the amniotic fluid. The amniotic cavity is formed by the fusion of the parts of the amniotic fold, which first makes its appearance at the cephalic extremity and …
Amniotic sac: Anatomy, structure and function | Kenhub
2023年10月30日 · The space within the sac in which the embryo develops is the amniotic cavity, which is filled with amniotic fluid. This fluid provides a buoyant medium to support the embryo, protecting against injury by providing cushioning and allowing the fetus to move around freely in the later stages of pregnancy .
Amniotic membrane: from structure and functions to clinical ...
Amniotic membrane (AM) or amnion is a thin membrane on the inner side of the fetal placenta; it completely surrounds the embryo and delimits the amniotic cavity, which is filled by amniotic liquid. In recent years, the structure and function of the amnion have been investigated, particularly the plu …
Amnion | Fetal Membrane, Embryonic Sac & Placental …
Amnion, in reptiles, birds, and mammals, a membrane forming a fluid-filled cavity (the amniotic sac) that encloses the embryo. The amniotic sac and the fluid it contains are sometimes referred to as the bag of waters. In development, the amnion arises …
27.3C: Amnion Development - Medicine LibreTexts
The amnion is a closed sac appearing in the inner cell mass as a cavity. This cavity is roofed in by a single stratum of flattened, ectodermal cells called the amniotic ectoderm. Its floor consists of the prismatic ectoderm of the embryonic disk.
The development of the amnion in mice and other amniotes
In this review, we have compared the basic organization of the extraembryonic membranes in amniotes and describe the two types of amniogenesis, folding and cavitation. We then zoom in on the atypical development of the amnion in mice that occurs via the formation of a single posterior amniochorionic fold.
Amniotic Cavity Development Movie - Embryology
2024年12月5日 · The fluid-filled (amniotic fluid) extraembryonic coelom (cavity) formed initially by epiblast and then lined by ectoderm and surrounding extra-embryonic mesoderm. In humans, it forms the innermost fetal membrane, produces amniotic fluid expanding to eventually fuse with the chorionic membrane during week 8 of development.
Prenatal development - Amniotic Sac, Embryo, Fetus | Britannica
2024年11月23日 · The amnion becomes a tough, transparent, nonvascular membrane that gradually fills the chorionic sac and then fuses with it. At the end of the third month of pregnancy, the nonplacental extent of this nearly exposed double membrane comes into contact with the lining of the uterus elsewhere.
Amnion - Definition, Function and Quiz - Biology Dictionary
2017年6月2日 · The amnion is an extraembryonic membrane that surrounds a developing amniote embryo. It acts as a protective sac along with three other extraembryonic membranes: the chorion, the yolk sac, and the allantois. The membranes are then enclosed further by a shell (in birds, reptiles, and some mammals) or in a uterus (in most mammals).
