6. Bilaminar Germ Disc

7. Definition:
Formation of epiblast and hypoblast
layers in second week of development
forms Bilaminar Germ disc.

8. HOW ???

9. Development Of Trophoblast
1.The trophoblast differentiates into
cytotrophoblast & syncytiotrophoblast.
2.Cells of the cytotrophoblast divide and
migrate externally.
3.They lose their cell membranes to form the
syncytiotrophoblast

10. Inner cell mass differentiates into two layers
1: Epiblast layer

2: Hypoblast layer

11. Clinical correlates
*The syncytiotrophoblast secretes human chorionic
gonadotropin hormone which prevents the
degeneration of the corpus luteum.
By the end of the 2nd week, the amount of
this hormone will be sufficient to be
detected in the maternal blood and urine.
This is the basis of pregnancy test.

12. *occasionally implantation takes place
outside the uterus resulting in ectopic or
extra uterine pregnancy .
*In some cases trophoblast develops and
forms placental membrane although little or
no embryo tissue is present this is known as
hydatiform mole.

2. Exocoelomic cyst
3. Aminotic cavity
4. Extra-embryonic coelom
5. Epiblast
6. Connecting stalk
7. Hypoblast
8. Primary villi
9. Trophoblastic lacunae
10. Extraembryonic somatic mesoderm
11. Extraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm

15. Trilaminar Germ Disc

16. Definition
Formation of three germinal layers form
the trilaminar germ disc
The three layers are
1.Ectoderm
2.Endoderm
3.Mesoderm

17. HOW ???

18. Formation of Trilaminar Germ Disc
1.. Gastrulation- most characteristic
feature during 3rd week
2.3 germ layers are established- ectoderm,
endoderm and mesoderm
3.Start with formation of PRIMITIVE
STREAK

19. PRIMITIVE STREAK
1.Midline groove at epiblast
2.Cephalic end-primitive node
3.Cells of epiblast migrate towards primitive
streak
4.This inward movement is known as invagination
5.Invaginated cells displace hypoblast forming
endoderm

20. 6. Some other invaginated cells come to lie
between epiblast and newly formed
endoderm forming mesoderm
7. Remaining cells in epiblast form ectoderm
8.These 3 layers form trilaminar germ disc

24. Clinical Significance
*Teratogenesis
For example large doses of alcohol at this
stage result in holoprosencephally.
*Caudal dysgenesis(Sirenomelia)
Insufficint mesoderm is formed in caudal
most region of embryo.
*Situs inversus
Transposition of viscera in the thorax and
abdomen occurs.
