Introduction

Stage6 bf03.jpg

Bilaminar embryonic disc

The bilaminar (epiblast and hypoblast) embryo is now about 0.2 mm diameter in size. The three extra embryonic spaces (amniotic, primitive yolk sac and chorionic) are present.

The large chorionic cavity is surrounded by the cell layers extending to form chorionic villi. These villi are the beginning of the functional units of the placenta.

Outside of these villi, and extending from their tips, trophoblasts invade the maternal decidua forming maternal blood-filled lacunae (lakes). Emptying into these maternal lacuna are both uterine glands and spiral arteries held open by trophoblast cells.

The maternal uterine wall continues to undergo expanding decidualization in response to the implantation process.

Summary

Human embryonic stage 6 occurs towards the end of week 2 at approximately 13-14 days.

  • Description - Imagine the excitement of seeing this incredible early period of human development for the first time. Now consider that much of our initial understanding of human development is based upon study of historic embryo collections. You can now look at these historic images of the first 8 weeks after fertilisation and explore for yourself the changes that occur in human development during this key period. This current book is designed as an atlas of the Carnegie embryo stages with some brief notes and additional information covering the first 8 weeks of development. These images are from from the beginning of last century and are one of the earliest documented series of human embryos collected for basic research and medical education on development. I hope you enjoy learning about the amazing early events that begin to make and shape us. This is the second book in a series of educational releases from UNSW Embryology.

Other Embryos

This stage was previously subdivided into 6a and 6b.[2]

Stage 6a

  • Carnegie No. 8905, Merrill. Unbranched villi. Although an abnormal leucocytic reaction is present, this specimen “represents the best example in the author’s collection of formation of early primordial villi, active mesogenesis and angiogenesis, completion of the amnion and the transitional phase between the primary and definitive [secondary] yolk sac formation” (Hertig, 1958[3], who reproduced a photomicrograph as fig. 55). Presumed age, 12-13 days.
  • Carnegie No. 6800, Stöckel. Described by Linzenmeier (1914). Hysterectomy. Angiogenesis in chorion described by Hertig (1935). Photomicrographs reproduced by Hertig (1958)[3], Figs. 56-58). Important as one of the youngest specimens having “true villi” (Hertig and Rock, 1941). Chorionic villi show “an occasional tendency to dichotomous branching” (Krafka, 1941). Indication of blood vessel formation in villi. Chorion, 2.75 x 1.05 x 0.9 mm. Chorionic cavity, 0.75 x 0.61 x 0.52 mm; capacity, 0.13 mm3 (Odgers, 1937).[4] Embryonic disc, 0.21 x 0.105 mm (Krafka, 1941). Allantoic diverticulum doubtful. Presumed age, 13 days.
  • Carnegie No. 8672. Photomicrograph illustrated by Hertig, Rock, and Adams (1956, fig. 40). Chorion, 1.14 x 1.08 mm. Chorionic cavity, 0.8 x 0.79 mm. Embryonic disc, 0.203 x 0.07 mm. Presumed age, 13 days.
  • Harvard No. 55. Studied histochemically by Hertig et al. (1958). Hysterectomy. Chorion, 1.77 x 1.33 x 0.598 mm.Chorionic cavity, 0.73 x 0.68 x 0.221 mm. Embryonic disc,0.296 x 0.196 x 0.044 mm. Chorionic villi essentially solid,with earliest suggestion of mesoblastic core formation. “Apparently without axial differentiation.” Possesses “a very recently formed definitive [secondary] yolk sac.” Possible primordial germ cells (“stuffed with glycogen”) within endoderm near edge of disc. Presumed age, 13 days. For histochemical details, the original paper should be consulted.
  • Carnegie No. 8360. Photomicrographs illustrated by Hertig, Rock, and Adams (1956, figs. 42 and 46)[5]. Chorion, 1.466 x 1 mm. Chorionic cavity, 1 x 0.66 mm. Embryonic disc, 0.188 x 0.055 mm. Presumed age, 13 days.
  • Peters. Described in a monograph by Peters (1899)[6]. Autopsy. A famous embryo, for long the youngest known and the first to be described in detail. Photomicrographs have since been published (Rossenbeck, 1923, plate 42; Odgers, 1937[4], plate 2, fig. 2). The chorionic villi, some of which display a mesenchymal core, send cellular columns externally and these latter are beginning to form a cytotrophoblastic shell. Slight branching of villi (Krafka, 1941). Chorionic cavity contains magma réticulé of Velpeau (Mall, 1916). Blood islands on umbilical vesicle. Chorion, 1.5 x 2 mm. Chorionic cavity, 1.6 x 0.9 x 0.8 mm; capacity, 0.7 mm3 (Odgers, 1937)[4]. Embryonic disc, 0.18 x 0.24 mm (Krafka, 1941). The basement membrane (Hensen’s membrane prima) of the epiblast was noted by Graf Spee. Allantoic diverticulum and primitive streak uncertain. Presumed age, 13 days (Krafka,1941). A tabulation of normal human embryos compiled from the literature prior to 1900 and from Mall’s own collection was published by Mall (1900, pp. 38-46). The least advanced specimen was the Peters embryo, and included in the list were 92 embryos of 0.19-32 mm, as well as 17 fetuses of 33-210 mm.
  • E.B. (E. Béla v. Entz). Described by Faber (1940). Curettage. Incomplete. Primitive villi. Chorionic cavity, 0.935 x 0.697 mm. Embryonic disc, 0.231 mm. No primitive streak, node, or groove. Secondary umbilical vesicle. No allantoic diverticulum. Said to resemble the Peters specimen closely.
  • Carnegie No. 7634, Torpin. Described in detail by Krafka (1941), who provided also an extensive discussion of the decidua. Hysterectomy. Posterior wall of uterus. Chorionic villi with mesoblastic cores, 0.1-0.2 mm in length. Villi “generally single, but two or more may arise from a common base,” although no branching was recorded. Chorion (possessed 85 villi), 1.76 x 1.7 x 1.5 mm. Chorionic cavity, 1.3 x 1.1 x 1 mm. Embryonic disc, 0.216 x 0.21 mm. Amniotic duct. Neither primitive node nor primitive streak. Cloacal cord (rather than membrane) claimed, but doubted by Mazanec (1959). No allantoic diverticulum. Diverticulum of umbilical vesicle. Presumed age, 13 days. Dorsal and transverse projections published (Krafka, 1941, figs. 1 and 3, and plate 2).
  • VMA-I. Specimen of Knorre, summarized by Mazanec (1959). Chorion, 3.24 x 2.04mm. Chorionic cavity, 1.53 x 1.02 mm. Embryonic disc, 0.23 x 0.2 mm. Development thought to be between Torpin and Yale specimens.
  • Carnegie No. 6734, Yale. Described in detail by Ramsey (1938). Necropsy. Left lateral uterine wall. Chorion, 2.75 x 1.9 x 0.76 mm. Chorionic cavity, 1.3 x 1.1 x 1 mm. Some of the chorionic villi “show dichotomous division, but no more complicated branching has occurred.” Some angioblastic strands in villi. Embryonic disc (damaged and distorted), 0.15 mm. Allantoic diverticulum stated to be present but denied by Krafka (1941). Presumed age, 13-14 days. Drawings of model published (Ramsey, 1938[7], fig. 1).
  • Noback, Paff, and Poppiti (1968) described an autopsy specimen that possessed a chorion of 2.25 x 1.25 x 2 mm. Chorionic villi avascular. Embryonic disc, 0.22 x 0.2 mm. No primitive node, notochordal process, cloacal membrane, or allantoic diverticulum. Axial differentiation, however, was suggested by the possible primordia of the prechordal plate and the primitive streak. Hence this specimen may be regarded as transitional between 6a and 6b.

Twin represented by (1) a vesicle interpreted as “a poorly developed embryonic disc and amnion,” and (2) a detached umbilical vesicle. Monozygotic twinning here probably caused by unequal division of inner cell mass of blastocyst.
  • Carnegie No. 8290. Abnormal specimen illustrated by Hertig (1968, fig. 129). Polypoid implantation site, deficient polar trophoblast, and buckled embryonic disc. Presumed age, 13 days.
