Beginnings, Growth and Development
Human Embryo (Carnegie stage 10, week 4, 22 - 23 days, 2 - 3.5 mm, Somite Number 4 - 12)
This lecture covers conceptus development from implantation to trilaminar embryo formation. The lecture also looks at early fetal membranes and placentation.

For more background, look at week 2-4 development notes and early neural development.

Week 2 mainly covers blastocyst developemt up to implantation.
Week 3 mainly covers trilaminar embryo development.
Week 3 mainly covers trilaminar embryo development.
Placenta more detailed than currently required.
Note that movies require quicktime to be installed on your computer.

This is a new Lecture developed for BGD. It contains many new concepts and terms you may not have heard before. This should become clearer once you nave done some of the associated Laboratories.
Some lecture slides within the Lecture Slide PDFs were not shown during the lecture and are provided to aid your understanding.
These notes and linked materials have been prepared for Educational purposes only.
