|
The placenta provides services for the fetus that will eventually be performes by which of the organ systems?
|
Digestive, respiratory, urinary
|
In the blastocyst, the fluid filled chamber that separates the bilaminar germinal disc from the trophoblast is the
|
Amniotic cavity
|
The invagination or migration of cells from the epiblast into the space btwn it and the hypoblast marks the beginning of
|
Gastrulation
|
The umbilical cord comprises of what?
