Development of arachnoid villi and granulations in man. 1982

D G Gómez, and A T DiBenedetto, and A M Pavese, and A Firpo, and D B Hershan, and D G Potts

The superior sagittal sinus and confluens sinuum of 27 fetuses and newborns ranging from postmenstrual intervals of 26-54 weeks were studied by scanning electron microscopy and histology. 26-week specimens showed oval depressions in the final portions of tributary veins to the sinus. Histologically there were arachnoid tissue clusters within the dural wall. The walls of the depressions were more irregular by the 30th week. Arachnoid villi were apparent by the 35th week and granulations were observed after the 39th weeks. The granulations increased in complexity as development proceeded.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007231 Infant, Newborn An infant during the first 28 days after birth. Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY. Scanning Electron Microscopy,Electron Scanning Microscopy,Electron Microscopies, Scanning,Electron Microscopy, Scanning,Electron Scanning Microscopies,Microscopies, Electron Scanning,Microscopies, Scanning Electron,Microscopy, Electron Scanning,Microscopy, Scanning Electron,Scanning Electron Microscopies,Scanning Microscopies, Electron,Scanning Microscopy, Electron

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.
