Relationship between the embryo and the
mother
One of the most characteristic features of human embryonic
development is the intimate relationship between the embryo and
the mother.
To survive and grow during intrauterine life, the embryo must
maintain an essentially parasitic relationship with the body of the
mother for acquiring oxygen and nutrients and eliminating wastes.
It must also avoid being rejected as a foreign body by the immune
system of its maternal host.
These exacting requirements are met by the placenta and
extraembryonic membranes that surround the embryo and serve as
the interface between the embryo and the mother.
Extraembryonic Membranes
• The extraembryonic/fetal membranes are structures
that develop from zygote but do not form any part of
the embryo proper.
• The many intraembryonic events are forming organs and
tissues of the embryo.
• A number of extraembryonic structures develop as well.
These are called extraembryonic membranes, which are
amnion, yolk sac, allantois, chorion
placenta and umbilical cord
Fetal membranes
Function
• Responsible for protection, respiration,
excretion, and nutrition of embryo and fetus.
• At birth, placenta, umbilical cord, and other
extraembryonic membranes are separate from
the fetus and expelled from uterus as an after
birth.
1. Amnion
• It is a thin extraembryonic membrane that loosely envelops the
embryo forming an amniotic sac that is filled with the amniotic
fluid.
• The amniotic sac is lined by ectodermal cells of inner cell mass and
amniogenic cells of trophoblast.
• As the amniotic sac enlarges during the late embryonic period
(at about 8 weeks) due to collection of more amniotic fluid within it,
the amnion gradually surrounds the whole embryo.
• Amnion consists of two layers:
1. An outer layer made up of somatopleuric layer of
extraembryonic membrane
2. An inner layer made up of amniogenic cells.
Amniotic Fluid
• It is a clear, watery fluid containing salt, sugar, urea, and
proteins.
• It is derived from:
A. Amniotic cells by filtration or secretion
B. Fetal urine when kidneys start functioning
C. Secretion of lung cells
D. Secretion by placenta
• Constituents of Amniotic Fluid :
1. Metabolites and hormones (HCG= hormon chorionic
gonadotrophin)
2. Cells that are sloughed off from fetal lungs,
placenta, and amniotic sac (all these cells have same
genetic composition)
3. Fetal urine
Functions of the Amniotic Fluid
1. It permits symmetrical development and growth.
2. It provides a water-cushion to protect the developing
embryo and fetus from jolts that the mother may
receive.
3. It helps to maintain a consistent pressure and
temperature.
4. It allows free fetal movements—an important
prerequisite for musculoskeletal development and
blood flow
5. It forms hydrostatic bag (bag of waters) that helps in
dilatation of the cervix at the beginning of the labor
(child birth)

4. Allantois
(Allantoenteric Diverticulum)
• It is a small diverticulum that arises from the caudal part of
the yolk sac during the third week.
• The allantois arises as an endodermally lined ventral
outpocketing of the hindgut.
• It develops and grows into the connecting stalk.
• The allantois proper, which consists of little more than a cord
of endodermal cells, is embedded in the umbilical cord.
• Later in development, the proximal part of the allantois
(called the urachus) is continuous with the forming urinary
bladder.
• After birth, it becomes transformed into a dense fibrous cord
(median umbilical ligament), which runs from the urinary
bladder to the umbilical region.
Functions of Allantois
• In the human embryo, it is just a vestige of the large, saclike
structure that is used by the embryos of many mammals,
birds, and reptiles as a major respiratory organ and
repository for urinary wastes
• Similar to the yolk sac, the allantois in a human retains only a
secondary function, in this case respiration.
• In humans, this function is served by the blood vessels that
differentiate from the mesodermal wall of the allantois.
• These vessels form the umbilical circulatory arc, consisting of
the arteries and veins that supply the placenta.
