IMPLANTATION
• Implantation is a
process in which a
developing embryo,
moving as a blastocyst
through a uterus, makes
contact with the uterine
wall and remains
attached to it until birth.
• As the embryo moves
through the fallopian
tubes, the
endometrium
proliferates, changes
in shape, becomes
receptive to
implantation, and
produces a hospitable
environment for the
embryo
Chorionic villi
are the folds of
tissue and blood
vessels that
connect
maternal and
fetal blood
pools.
• Once the blastocyst
adheres to the uterine
wall, the trophoblast
secretes enzymes that
digest the extracellular
matrix of endometrial
tissue.
• Further secretions of
enzymes allow the
blastocyst to bury itself
deeply among the
uterine stromal cells that
form the structural
components of the
uterus.
is a phase early in the embryonic development of
most animals, during which the single-layered
blastula is reorganized into a multilayered structure
known as the gastrula .
During gastrulation, several importance things are
accomplished:
•The three primary germ layers are established.
•The basic body plan is established, including the
physical construction of the rudimentary primary
•body axes.
•As a result of the movements of gastrulation, cells
are brought into new positions, allowing them to
interact with cells that were initially not near them.
This paves the way for inductive interactions, which
are the hallmark of neurulation and organogenesis.
•Trophoblasts
-cells forming the outer layer of a
blastocyst, which provide nutrients
to the embryo and develop into a
large part of the placenta.
•Inner cell mass (also known as the
embryoblast) is the mass of cells
inside the primordial embryo that
will eventually give rise to the
definitive structures of the fetus.
•Blastocyst Cavity
•Epiblast
•Hypoblast
The epiblast is
derived from the
inner cell mass and
lies above the
hypoblast.
•Ectoderm
(forms from
epiblast)
•Endoderm
(forms from
hypoblast)
•Mesoderm
