Human Embryo (day 18)

Approximate cross-section of a different, 18 day human conceptus (Carnegie stage 6).

Identify the

  • 3 cavities - yolk sac, amniotic sac and chorionic sac.
  • 3 layers of the trilaminar embryo - ectoderm (columnar cells), intraembryonic mesoderm (mesenchymal cells, endodermal cells (cuboidal single layer).
  • extraembryonic mesoderm which surrounds the yolk and amniotic sacs, and continues to form the connecting stalk, where it then continues to line the chorionic sac. Extra- and intra-embryonic mesoderm merge along the perimeter of the embryonic disc.
  • primitive groove with dense cluster of primitive streak cells below it.

At the top right of the micrograph is a secondary chorionic villus, lying in an empty maternal intervillus space. The villous has an outer layer of syncytiotrophoblast (smaller, darker nuclei), an intermediate layer of cytotrophoblast and a core of mesoblast (extra-embryonic mesoderm).
