This presentation includes the events occurring during third & fourth week of pregnancy and human development (formation of chorionic villi , trilaminar embryonic disc , notochord , and organogenesis
of chorionic vesicle. Layers of chorion: Syncytiotrophoblast, Cytotrophoblast and somatic mesoderm. Time of villi formation: From end of the 2nd week to the end of 3rd week. Types: 1) Primary villi 2) Secondary villi 3) Tertiary villi
into 2 parts according to the fate of tertiary villi that arise from it: 1- Chorion frondosum (chorionic plate) It is the part of chorion in contact with decidua basalis (decidual plate). This part persists as part of placenta. 2- Chorion leave It is the part of chorion which is covered with decidua capsularis. This part fuse with other parts of decidua and degenerate.
Chromaffin cells of supra-renal medulla, Schwann cells, glial cells, pigmented epithelium of iris and melanoblasts. •Others: Pia mater, arachnoid mater, enamel of teeth, septa of the heart (between ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk) and some bones of the skull.
