["Ultrastructural aspects of amniotic-fluid cells" A. non-vital cells. iii. large squamous cells (author's transl)]. 1981

T Agorastos, and T Bär, and E I Grussendorf, and B Liedtke, and G Lamberti

Until desquamation of vernix caseosa near the end of gestation the large, non-keratinizing squamous cells, which have their origin mostly from upper intestinal tract, vagina and urinary tract, form the majority of the population of cells in amniotic fluid. Their structure, as seen by electron microscopy is described, especially it's changes during the process of degeneration after the cell has been desquamated into amniotic fluid: dissolution or condensation of the nucleus, cytoplasmatic changes with appearance of filaments and vesicular corpuscles, and decreasing glycogen content.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D005260 Female Females
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.

D000649 Amniocentesis Percutaneous transabdominal puncture of the uterus during pregnancy to obtain amniotic fluid. It is commonly used for fetal karyotype determination in order to diagnose abnormal fetal conditions. Amniocenteses
D000653 Amniotic Fluid A clear, yellowish liquid that envelopes the FETUS inside the sac of AMNION. In the first trimester, it is likely a transudate of maternal or fetal plasma. In the second trimester, amniotic fluid derives primarily from fetal lung and kidney. Cells or substances in this fluid can be removed for prenatal diagnostic tests (AMNIOCENTESIS).
