The yolk sac is initially what gives the baby nutrients before the umbilical cord is formed
I believe you're referring to the yolk sac. In embryology, the yolk sac is an extraembryonic membrane that provides nutrients to the developing embryo in birds, reptiles, and fish. In humans, the yolk sac serves as a source of early blood cells and contributes to the formation of the digestive tract.
A fish embryo feeds from the yolk in the egg. Once they are hatched, they still have a supply of yolk in a sac to last them for a few days.
No , reverse is true .
A young salmon with an egg sac is called an alevin. Alevins are a stage in the early development of salmon where the fish still rely on their yolk sac for nutrients before transitioning into a fry.
the fetus is in the yolk sac
It appears after 22 days of pregnancy. It comes from primary yolk sac. Primary yolk sac gets enclosed inside from folding of the fetus, the rest is secondary yolk sac, which goes down to mesoderm and shrinks.
You should be able to see the yolk sac at 5 weeks.

Definitive Yolk sac
No, by this stage the fetus should be clearly visible. The yolk sac is visible from 5 weeks.
The inner cell mass (ICM) produces three embryonic membranes, the amnion, allantois, and the yolk sac.
No, the embryo (assuming it is a vertebrate animal) has a backbone...the yolk sac does not.
My first pregnancy was like this all I had was the sac.. no yolk sac or fetus and I miscarried at 7 weeks. The only way to be sure is if there is a heart beat. I am 9 weeks now and have fetus yolk sac and a heart beat. Ask to hear for a heart beat to be sure.
Egg yolk is the food sac that contains a lot of fats and protein for the embryo and fetus to live off of while it is growing in the egg. The chick literally envelops the yolk sac into its belly to live off of for a few days after it has hatched until it finds food for itself. The yolk is made in the hen, which is developed on the ovary of the hen. The embryo is attached to this yolk sac.
three yolk sacs means three babies.
