The urachus is a remnant of allantoic origin, connecting the embryonal cloaca to the allantois during early intrauterine life. |
|
The allantois is a structure that collects the waste that the embryo produces before it hatches. |
|
In reptiles and birds, the amnion, chorion, and allantois are further protected by a hard or leathery calcareous shell. |
|
The blood-vessel network of the underlying allantois conveys nutrients that diffuse through the trophoblast to the body of the embryo proper. |
|
The allantois forms as an outpocketing of the embryo's hindgut and grows outward into the space between the amnion and chorion. |
|
Vertebrates have three embryonic membranes: the amnion, the chorion, and the allantois. |
|
In the fetus, the urachus connects the bladder with the allantois. |
|
The function of the amniotic membrane is largely protective, whereas the allantois serves as a collection area for waste materials and a site of gas exchange. |
|
The kidneys also excrete their products into the allantois. |
|
In early fetal development, the ventral cloaca is connected to the allantois via the urachus. |
|
For infection, fertilized chicken eggs at embryonation day 11 were inoculated with virus into the allantois sack or onto the chorioallantoic membrane. |
