Morphology of the amniotic epithelium in relation to the problem of formation and resorption of amniotic fluid

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

Considerable vacuolization of the epithelial cells of the amnion was found in swine during the stage of the greatest vascularization of the membrane. This supports the secretory theory of the origin of amniotic fluid. It is possible that resorption of amniotic fluid takes place through the cytoplasmic anuclear sites of various size at the area of the cellular boundaries.
