Fig. 20. Intra-abdominal View of the Umbilical Region in a Human Embryo 12 cm Long

(X 3.)

The bladder is unusually distended, and reaches almost to the umbilicus. Both it and the umbilical vessels have a well-defined mesenteric attachment to the abdominal wall. The bladder was closed above, and the urachus was recognized as a solid cord. In the umbilical cord, however, the allantois showed here and there traces of a lumen. The umbilical ring was completely closed. At its site was a crescent-shaped pit. The exocoelom had disappeared in the cord, but traces of the omphalomesenteric vessels were still visible.

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?
