This page contains a short movie of the human head covering the Carnegie stages from 15 to 22. Note the images are not to scale.
Quicktime movie 179 Kb in new window.
External ear- on the side of the head the first 2 arches contribute a series (3 on each) of smaller bulges which will form the external ear.
Watch also the changing relative position of these bulges, initially at the level of the neck and, as the head and jaw develop, gradually rising to near their final position on the side of the head.

UNSW Embryology has many movies to show some of the dynamic changes that occur during embryonic development. These have been grouped together on separate pages (listed in righthand menu) that can be also be opened from a pull down menu on each page.
Internet users note that some of these movies are large and will take some time to download depending on your connection speed.
Both Mac and PC computers require the Quicktime plug-in to be present in your browser or on your computer.
CD users can find Quicktime on the CD or the latest version can be downloaded from here Quicktime
