The yolk sac develops first during early embryonic development, providing essential nutrients to the embryo before the placenta is fully formed. The yolk sac is present in the early stages of pregnancy and plays a crucial role in early blood cell formation and nutrient transfer. As the pregnancy progresses, the placenta takes over these functions, becoming the primary organ for nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and the developing fetus.
