Placenta and Fetal Membranes



Amnion - Epiblast / Extraembryonic Mesoderm

Yolk Sac - Hypoblast / Extraembryonic Mesoderm

Allantois - Embryonic Hindgut

Chorion - Trophoblasts / Extraembryonic Mesoderm 

Placenta - Chorion / Maternal Decidua 

Amnion


Amnionic membrane is two cell layers

1) epiblast derived extraembryonic ectodermal layer

2) thin non-vascular extraembryonic mesoderm

As the amnion enlarges it encompasses the embryo on the 

ventral side, merging around the umbilical cord.

Amnion forms the epithelial layer of the umbilical cord 

With embryo growth the amnion obliterates the chorionic

cavity


Amnionic sac is fluid filled called amnionic fluid: the 

embryo is bathed in the fluid

Amnion


Amnionic Fluid

Up to week 20 - fluid is similar to fetal serum (keratinization)

After 20 weeks – Contribution from urine, maternal serum filtered 

thru endothelium of nearby vessels, filtration from fetal 

vessels in cord

Near birth - can contain fetal feces called meconium

Near birth – amnionic fluid (500-1000 ml) exchanges every 3 hrs 

1) across the amnion – exchange with maternal fluids.  

2) fetal swallowing (20 ml/hour) – to gut – adsorption by 

fetus – out the umbilical cord to placenta.

Hydraminos – Excess fluid (>2000 ml), esophageal atresia

Oligohydramnios – Insufficient fluid (<500 ml), renal agenesis

Amnion Function

Mechanical protection: hydrostatic pressure

Allows free movement - which aids in neuromuscular 

development

Antibacterial

Allow for fetal growth

Protection from adhesions

Amnion Band Syndrome (ABS)

Yolk Sac


Hypoblast - the primary yolk sac or Heuser's membrane.  

Day 12 - Second wave of cell migration - forms definitive yolk sac 

Composed of extrembryonic endoderm

Early nutrition (2-3 weeks) for the embryo - later shrinking -

nonfunctional – Meckels diverticulum (outpocketing of small 

intestine) 

Connects to midgut via the yolk sac stalk

Derivatives:

Early blood cells forms from blood islands

Primordial germ cells

The early gut, epithelium of the respiratory and digestive 

tracts

Allantois - Embryonic Hindgut

Chorion - Trophoblasts / Extraembryonic Mesoderm 

Placenta - Chorion / Maternal Decidua 

Allantois

Endodermal origin – caudal outpocketing of the yolk sac 

Invades the connecting stalk (extraembryonic mesoderm) 

that suspends the embryo in the chorionic cavity

Involved in early hematopoiesis (up to 2 months)

The allantois blood vessels - artery and vein - becomes 

the umbilical vessels  

Remnants of Allantois becomes the urachus ligament that 

connects the belly button to the bladder

Chorion

Chorion


Chorionic cavity (extraembryonic coelom)- lined with 

extraembryonic mesoderm

Chorionic cavity expands separating amnion from 

cytotrophoblast

Chorionic sac consist of:

cytotrophoblastic layer

syncytiotrophoblastic layer

extraembryonic somatic mesoderm

The Chorion / maternal endometrium forms the placenta

Chorion forms stem villi

Stem Villi

Stem Villi

Chorionic Plate – Stem villi extends from this tissue

Primary stem villi (day 11-13) - finger-like protrusions 

into endometrium - contains syncytiotrophoblast,

cytotrophoblast.  

Secondary stem villi (day 16) - extraembryonic

mesoderm invasion into villi core.  

Tertiary stem villus (21 day) - extraembryonic vessels -

chorionic arteries and veins derived from

extraembryonic mesoderm. 

Hemichorial type placenta – maternal blood baths villi

Stem Villi

Cytotrophoblastic cell column – terminal villi, solid mass 

of trophoblast

Cytotrophoblastic shell – surrounds embryo; direct contact 

with maternal decidual cells

Anchoring Villi – give off cytotrophoblastic extensions  -

anchoring because they represent the real maternal-

embryo link

Floating Villi – branches off anchoring villi – dangles 

freely in maternal blood

Chorion

Placenta and Fetal Membranes

Amnion - Epiblast / Extraembryonic Mesoderm

Yolk Sac - Hypoblast / Extraembryonic Mesoderm

Allantois - Embryonic Hindgut

Chorion - Trophoblasts / Extraembryonic Mesoderm 



Placenta - Chorion / Maternal Decidua 

Decidua


Decidual Reaction – stromal cells – accumulate glycogen 

and lipid, called Decidual Cells

Decidua basalis - forms maternal component of the 

placenta; associates with the chorion frondosom

Decidua capsularis - superfical layer overlying the entire

embryoblast - this layer eventually degenerates; 

associates with the chorion laeve 

Decidua parietalis - all remaining parts of the endometrium

- not associated with the embryo

Deciduas


Making the Placenta

By 8 weeks - chorionic stem villi over the entire surface of 

the chorionic sac

Those villi associated with the decidua basalis increase in 

size and more villi form.  

Enlargement includes further branching of the anchoring 

villus - chorion frondosum.  

The villi continue to enlarge during most of gestation.  

The villi project into a blood filled intervillous space 

resulting from the erosion of the decidua basalis.

Endometrial vessels - spiral arteries and endometrial veins

Villi associated with the decidua capsularis degenerate -

this region is called the chorion laeve 

Deciduas


Placenta

The erosion of the decidua basalis is incomplete - uneroded

regions called decidual septa.  

The decidual septa define regions of the placenta called 

cotyledon.

Placental Blood Flow

Placental Anatomy

Umbilical Cord

One umbilical vein, two 

umbilical arteries

Wharton’s jelly – mucoid 

connective tissue 

surrounding vessels

Allantois

Yolk Stalk (vitelline duct) and 

vitelline vessels (early)

Intestinal loop – umbilical hernia 

(late)


Placental Circulation

Fetal – Contained within vessels

Umbilical Arteries – chorionic plate – branches to 

stem villi – capillaries in terminal villi – return via 

umbilical vein

Maternal – Free-flowing lake

Spiral arteries open into intervillous space and bath 

the villi

150 ml of maternal blood

Exchanged - 3-4 times/minute

Reduced blood pressure in intervillous space

Oxygenated blood to the chorionic plate, return 

baths the villi

Placental Anatomy

Placental barrier decreases with gestation

Placental Barrier – syncytiotrophoblast + basal lamina, basal lamin

+ fetal capillary endothelium

Syncytiotrophoblasts – many microvilli, no major 

histocompatibility antigens

Placenta as an Endocrine Organ

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin – Corpus Luteum (declines after 8 

weeks)

Progesterone – High levels by the end of first trimester



Estrogen – Synthesis involves enzymatic activity of fetal adrenal 

gland and liver

Chorionic Somatomammotropin – Human Placental Lactogen –

similar to GH (growth, lactation, lipid and carbohydrate 

metabolism)

Placental Growth Hormone – similar to GH – Replaces materrnal GH 

by 15 wks – enhances blood glucose levels

Chorionic Thyrotropin, Chorionic Corticotropin

Multiple Pregnancies

Monochorionic/Dichorionic

Monoamnionic/Diamnionic

Hydatiform Mole

Erythroblastosis fetalis

Fetus / newborn - hemolytic disease (anemia) 

Rh factor is a RBC surface antigen

Rh- mother with Rh+ 1st baby – Maternal antibodies 

are induced after birth

At risk is second Rh+ baby 

Maternal Rh antibodies cross placenta
