Human Embryo Carnegie Stage 18

  • Embryo Week 7, 44 - 48 days, 13 - 17 mm
  • The image shows the intact gestational sac (25-30 mm diameter) with chorionic villi (white finger-like extensions) covering the chorionic membrane surface.
  • The chorion surface is now divided into 2 halves:

chorion laeve

(laeve = smooth) The smooth chorion found on conceptus away from maternal blood supply (towards uterine epithelium and cavity) with very few villi present.

chorion frondosum

(frondosum = leafy) the chorion found on conceptus oriented towards maternal blood supply where the majority of villi form and proliferate, will contribute the fetal component of the future placenta.
