Normal Membranes (Low Power)

Normal Membranes (Low Power) • This is a low power view of the extraplacental membranes. • At the top of the image is the amnionic sac and a layer of amnionic epithelium. • The amnionic epithelium lies on an amnionic mesoderm which is apposed to the chorionic mesoderm. • Beneath the chorionic mesoderm is chorion. • The arrows point to a remnant of a chorionic villus.
