Amniotic duct

Amniotic duct

This section passes through the middle of the amniotic duct (Amn. D.). The distal end wall of the duct is thickened and contains a small isolated lumen. A cyst lying in the ventral wall of the yolk sac is probably an evagination of the primitive endoderm. It appears in adjoining sections and is connected to the endoderm by a strand of cells. Section 409.
