Introduction

We will study human development over a series of 3 practical classes spanning the overall human prenatal developmental timecourse. In terms of Embryology in this current course, there will be an additional lecture on heart development and a practical on the extra-embryonic tissues formed from the conceptus (placenta and embryonic membranes).

Practical - Fertilization to Implantation

Early development overview.
