fetal membrane

Lactoferrin in intrauterine infection, human parturition, and rupture of fetal membranes.

Many of these "chosen" ones were born with a caul, or fetal membrane.

The fetal membranes found in rodents are unique among mammals, as is the pattern of embryonic development.

Chorioamnionitis can be diagnosed from a histologic examination of the fetal membranes.

The baby was still enclosed in the fetal membranes.

Its wall is the amnion, the inner of the two fetal membranes.

The fetal membranes from older embryos are also best handled initially as solid tissue because of difficulties in their mechanical disaggregation.

Retention of fetal membranes (afterbirth) is observed more frequently in cattle, than in other animals.

Leptin is also expressed in fetal membranes and the uterine tissue.
