Fig. 17. Intra-abdominal View of the Umbilical Region in a Human Embryo 7.5 cm Long

(X6.) In this case the allantois (urachus) is very narrow, as seen in the cross-section of the abdominal wall, as well as in the cross-section of the cord. The tissues containing the umbilical arteries and urachus are attached to the abdominal wall by a well-defined but narrow mesentery. This, however, is exceptional. At the umbilicus the coelomic ring is obliterated and appears as a crescent between the umbilical arteries and vein. Farther out in the cord, however the exocoelom can still be clearly seen as a small, star-shaped cavity. The cord is markedly twisted.

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?
