The 10 day opossum embryo is enclosed by a yolk sac chorion in which distinct vascular and non-vascular regions are established before attachment to the uterine epithelium. The embryo is closely associated with the vascular region which becomes adherent to the uterine lining. Cells of the external layer bear abundant, closely packed, long microvilli, which may serve to absorb nutrients from the uterine secretions. Cells of the inner surface show only scattered microvilli and microplicae on their apical surfaces.
10日龄的负鼠胚胎被卵黄囊绒毛膜包裹,在附着于子宫上皮之前,其中会形成明显的血管区和非血管区。胚胎与血管区紧密相连,血管区会附着于子宫内膜。外层细胞带有丰富、紧密排列的长微绒毛,这些微绒毛可能用于从子宫分泌物中吸收营养。内表面的细胞在其顶端表面仅显示散在的微绒毛和微褶。
