PLACENTA, FETAL MEMBRANES AND MULTIPLE GESTATION
DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHORIONIC SAC
• Trophoblast layer of the blastocyst
• Differentiation into: – Cytotrophoblast – inner layer – Syncytiotrophoblast – outer layer
• Development of extraembryonic mesoderm
• Formation of isolated lacunae spaces which later coalesce to form one big extraembryonic cavity – renamed chorionic sac
• Chorionic sac surrounds the amniotic cavity and primary umbilical vesicle
• Expansion of chorionic sac reduces the size of umbilical vesicle
