Figure 4 Hypothesized functions by ontogenic recapitulation in the traumatized tissue. These functions could be similar to the extra-embryonic coelomic-amniotic and trophoblastic-vitelline functions during early embryonic development. The extra-embryonic coelom or exocoelomic cavity surrounds the blastocyst, which is composed of the amnion and the primary yolk sac. EC: Exocoelomic cavity; A: Amnion; T: Trophoblast; Y: Yolk sac or vitellum.
