This page links you to resources covering serial sections through the embryo, development in other species, molecular development, abnormal development, genes and disease, female/male health, population statistics, law and ethics.

|
Serial Images - serial sections through the early embryo (stage 13/14), late embryo (stage 22), selected highpower embryo (stage 22) and fetal stage (10 week 40mm). |
|
|
Other Embryos- embryonic development in other species that have been used to model human development and isolate important genes in development. See also Movies of Development |
|
Abnormal Development - Find out about abnormal embryonic development that can be either genetic (congenital) or maternally derived. (Each System Notes page 2 has specific abnormal development) |
|
Stem Cells - Find out about stem cells, their role localization and potential for scientific and theraputic research. |
|
Molecular Development - a simplified description of the new mechanisms being discovered that regulate developmental processes. |
|
Mechanisms of Development - mechanisms and interactions that regulate developmental processes. |
|
Morphodynamic Development - biomechanical mechanisms that regulate developmental processes. |
|
Genes/DNA - A brief overview of genes and development with extensive links. Genes and Disease - An overview NCBI WWW Pages Genes and Disease covering a few well known diseases. |
Womens Health - Female specific health issues related to reproductive health. Mens Health - Male specific health issues related to reproductive health. |
|
Statistics - There are many sources for statistical information relating to Embryology such as: childbirth, maternal health, childhood disease, health as well as specific country and country comparison (national and international) statistics. |
Population Statistics - How many children are born, at what maternal age and other statistical information. Law & Ethics - how the Law sees embryos and ethical issues. |
Continue with Systematic Development of organs and tissues.
For those wanting to see dynamic processes of development (and have a reasonably quick connection) then the Movies pages are good for watching changes occur.
The study of human development has relied extensively on studying the process in other model animals. For those wanting to see the process of development in other species then the other embryos pages are a good start.
The glossary is an alphabetical list containing brief descriptions of terms and acronyms. There are also links to pages with more information related to the term. |

This page contains links several developmental topics including: serial slices of the embryo and fetus, development in other species, abnormal development, genetic and moleclar mechanisms.
This current page also links to legal and population statistics, men and womens health issues.
There is also a Dev Notes 1 page covering issues in very early and late development.
After 4 weeks of development specific systems begin to differentiate and these are covered individually on the System Notes page.
