AmnionChorionMembran
The AmnionChorionMembran refers collectively to the amniotic and chorionic membranes that envelop the developing embryo within the uterus. These fetal membranes are formed from trophoblastic and embryonic tissues and play a crucial role in the early stages of mammalian pregnancy. The amniotic membrane, or amnion, derives from the extraembryonic ectoderm, while the chorionic membrane, or chorion, originates from the trophoblast and extraembryonic mesoderm. Together, they create a protective fluid-filled cavity known as the amniotic sac that surrounds the embryo and placenta.
The primary functions of the AmnionChorionMembran include shielding the fetus from mechanical injury and infection, maintaining
Clinically, abnormalities or premature rupture of the AmnionChorionMembran can lead to conditions such as preterm premature
Research on the structural and biochemical properties of the amniotic and chorionic membranes has advanced regenerative
