In the first part of this class we continue through late embryological development from Carnegie stage 16 to 23 and onward into early fetal development.
As in Lab 4 (stage 13) in this Lab 11 a late embryo (stage 22) page has selected cross-sections to observe the development of internal organs and tissues.
First note of the processes occuring in late embryological development (limb and body growth, early ossification).
Then study the example of early Fetal Development (week 10). Compare the change in overall size from the late embryo stage. Look carefully through the sagittal sections of the embryo identifying the development of organs and tissues in the Fetus.
Finally look at overall Fetal Development in terms of length and weight.
In the last part of the class we will introduce developmental abnormalities both genetic and maternally derived and consider critical periods of development.

Movie of Human Embryo Growth (this shows a human embryo growing, all images are to scale)
Movie of Limb Growth(this shows development of the human arm from bud to paddle, to hand with arm)
Movie of Mouse Embryo Growth (this shows a mouse embryo growing)
Movie of Rotating Embryo(this shows an early embryo from all angles)
All Moviesthis shows many different ways of looking in at changes in different embryos.

This is the third (and last) BGD Laboratory given by Dr Mark Hill, though there other materials available on the UNSW Embryology site that may also aid your understanding of development in other BGD Lecture/Practical classes.
Note that this material will remain available online and on CD for future reference.
Please email Dr Mark Hill if you wish to make a comment about this current project.
