Fig. 5. Sagittal View of a Human Embryo 5 mm in Length

In large part the left halves of the amnion and embryo have been removed, in order to bring clearly into view the structure of the cord. The expanding amnion has almost reached the chorion, hence but little remains of the extra-amniotic portion of the yolk stalk and of the body-stalk. The umbilical cord has become longer. The caudal portion of the cord is firm and contains the umbilical arteries and veins; the latter, soon pfter leaving the body, form a common trunk, which usually curves toward the left. Between the two umbilical arteries lies the allantois, the bulbous end of which still persists almost to the amnion. The cranial portion of the cord is looser in texture. It contains the coelomic cavity, in which lies the omphalomesenteric duct, accompanied by its vessels. Note that the superior mesenteric vein empties into the omphalomesenteric vein behind the pancreatic buds. The omphalomesenteric artery still arises by several branches from the aorta.

Historic Disclaimer - information about historic embryology pages

Pages where the terms "Historic" (textbooks, papers, people, recommendations) appear on this site, and sections within pages where this disclaimer appears, indicate that the content and scientific understanding are specific to the time of publication. This means that while some scientific descriptions are still accurate, the terminology and interpretation of the developmental mechanisms reflect the understanding at the time of original publication and those of the preceding periods, these terms, interpretations and recommendations may not reflect our current scientific understanding.     (More?
