Hematopoiesis is described in a series of well fixed young human ova, specifically stained for hematopoiesis, starting with the 13-day stage (similar to the Peters ovum). Except for a small focus in the belly stalk of the primitive streak stage and 2 foci in that of the 18-somite embryo, early hematopoiesis is confined to the yolk sac. The hemocytoblasts are predominantly of large lymphocyte type, but smaller examples corresponding to medium sized and small lymphocytes are found in the yolk sac vessels as early as the head process stage. In the yolk sac, hemocytoblasts give rise to a generation of primitive erythrocytes and to a subsequent, independent lineage of definitive erythrocytes. The hemocytoblasts also give rise to macrophages, giant cells, atypical megakaryocytes, and myelocytes. The primitive erythrocytes arise . primarily intravascularly although a few are also found extravascu-larly. The definitive erythrocytes develop within vessels, in the mesenchyme, and within the entoderm. Blood vessel primordia in the chorion plate, villi, yolk sac and belly stalk arise by direct transformation of mesenchymal cells. There is no convincing evidence of their direct development from cytotrophoblast. Except for 3 isolated abortive foci in the belly stalk, blood cells develop only in the yolk sac vessels until at least mid-somite stages.
