Hematopoiesis in the mouse embryo and placenta. (a) Sites of hematopoiesis in the midgestion (E10.5) mouse conceptus. Extraembryonic hematopoietic territories include the chorio-allantoic placenta and the yolk sac. Hematopoietic territories within the embryo body are the aorta (hematopoietic part of the AGM region) and the liver. The yolk sac, placenta and AGM are sites of de novo hematopoietic cell generation, whereas the liver is colonized by exogenously generated hematopoietic cells. Temporal appearance of hematopoietic cells in different tissues (from E 7.5 until birth).
