Embryology — Bilaminar Disc, Gastrulation and Trilaminar Disc
Embryology · Basic Sciences
How it begins
La segunda semana del desarrollo embrionario es, quizás, la más rica en transformaciones simultáneas. Se denomina coloquialmente la "semana de los dos" : se forman dos capas en el disco germinativo (epiblasto e hipoblasto), dos cavidades (amniótica y el saco vitelino), dos capas del trofoblasto (sincitio y cito-), y dos capas del mesodermo extraembrionario (somática y esplácnica). Para entender el disco bilaminar,…
