Co5iP.\R.\TivE Embrvologt.—In fish embryos the ento-derm lining the digestive tract is distended ventrally. andits cells are loaded with nutritive material in the form ofgranules. This solid mass of yolk-laden entoderm iscovered on the outside with a layer of mesoderm, and theentire structure is known as the yolk sac. In sharks thesac joins the body by a constricted portion, the jolk stalk(Fig. 5046, A). The ventral body wall, composed of. Fig. 5047.—Diagrammatic Cross-Section of an Amniote Embryo. Thebody of the embryo is shaded; the extra-embryonic mesoderm isrtprfsented by a dotted line.

(Minot.) ectoderm with a lining of mesoderm, extends over theyolk sac. but is separated from it by an extension of thebody cavity or ccelom. As the fish grows, the yolk is intestinal tract an out-pocketing projects into the ccelom,in which it lies free. Thisentodermal pocket is the allan-tois, an organ composed of the same layers as the yolksac, and like it, highly vascular. Its competition withthe 3olk sac in placental mammals will be describedpresently. The yolk sac of birds, in later stages, isdrawn into the abdominal cavity, and there it remains inAvater fowl, as a permanent diverticulum at about themiddle of the small intestine. (Oppel.) The mammals present several types
