Heuser's membrane

Heuser's membrane (or the exocoelomic membrane) is a short lived combination of hypoblast cells and extracellular matrix.

It surrounds the exocoelomic cavity.i.e. it lines the inner surface of the cytotrophoblast

Week 1	Fertilization - Egg activation - Zygote - Cleavage - Morula - Blastula (Blastomere) - Blastocyst - Inner cell mass

Week 2	Bilaminar disc (Hypoblast, Epiblast)

Week 3 (Trilaminar embryo, germ layers)	Archenteron/Primitive streak (Primitive pit, Primitive knot/Blastopore, Primitive groove) - Gastrula/Gastrulation - Regional specification Ectoderm: Surface ectoderm - Neuroectoderm - Somatopleure - Neurulation - Neural crest Endoderm: Splanchnopleure Mesoderm: Chorda- - Paraxial (Somite/Somitomere/Sclerotome/Myotome/Dermatome) - Intermediate - Lateral plate (Intraembryonic coelom, Splanchnopleure/Somatopleure)

Extraembryonic/uterus	Trophoblast (Cytotrophoblast, Syncytiotrophoblast) Blastocoele - Yolk sack/exocoelomic cavity - Heuser's membrane - Extraembryonic coelom - Vitelline duct Umbilical cord (Umbilical artery, Umbilical vein, Wharton's jelly) - Allantois Placenta - Decidua (Decidual cells) - Chorionic villi/Intervillous space - Gestational sac (Amnion/Amniotic sac/Amniotic cavity, Chorion)

Histogenesis	Programmed cell death - Stem cells - Germ line development

Organogenesis	Limb development: Limb bud - Apical ectodermal ridge/AER other structures: Eye development - Cutaneous structure development - Heart development - Development of the urinary and reproductive organs
