Preface

Wilhelm His (1831-1904) Franz Keibel (1861-1929) Franklin Mall (1862-1917) George Linius Streeter (1873-1948)

During the past one hundred years of human embryology, three landmarks have been published: the Anatomie der menschlichen Embryonen of His (1880–1885), the Manual of Human Embryology by Keibel and Mall (1910–1912), and Streeter's Developmental Horizons in Human Embryos (1942–1957, completed by Heuser and Corner). Now that all three milestone volumes are out of print as well as in need of revision, it seems opportune to issue an updated study of the staged human embryo.


The objectives of this monograph are to provide a reasonably detailed morphological account of the human embryo (i.e., the first eight weeks of development), a formal classification into developmental stages, a catalogue of the preparations in the Carnegie Collection, and a reference guide to important specimens in other laboratories. The Carnegie staging system has now been accepted internationally and, when carefully applied, allows detailed comparisons between the findings at one institution and those at another.


The classifications and descriptions of stages 1–9 are based on light microscopy, and the criteria selected have stood the test of time. The present account is a revision of O'Rahilly's monograph of 1973. In stages 10–23, increasing attention is paid to external form, although internal structure is not, and should not be, neglected. Streeter's masterly account has been updated and is used here in treating stages 10–23. Many of Streeter's paragraphs have been left virtually unchanged (except for improvements in terminology) but others have been altered considerably, and much new material has been added.


Most of the drawings for stages 1–9 were prepared in the Department of Art as Applied to Medicine, the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, under the direction of Ranice Crosby. Most of those for stages 10–23 are the work of James F. Didusch, although certain modifications in his terminology have been adopted.


A major change made here from Streeter's account is in the systematic inclusion of standard references. It should be stressed, however, that no attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive bibliography. Many more references can be found in a series of articles on the timing and sequence of developmental events, beginning in Acta anatomica in 1971 and continuing in the Zeitschrift für Anatomie und Entwicklungsgeschichte (now Anatomy and Embryology) from 1971 to 1983. For the nervous system, further references can be found in a continuing series of articles that began in 1981 in Anatomy and Embryology: stages 8–11 have already been published.


Particular attention has been paid to nomenclature throughout. Most of the terms used are in agreement with the Nomina embryologica. The latter, however, unlike the Nomina anatomica, is not exclusively human, and hence certain inappropriate terms have been replaced here.


It is appropriate to acknowledge here the great help provided by the National Institutes of Health, which have supported the writers' research (Grant No. HD-16702, Institute of Child Health and Human Development).


It is a particular pleasure to acknowledge the enthusiasm and collaboration of the late Dr. Ernest Gardner over many years, the friendship and assistance provided by Dr. Elizabeth M. Ramsey, and the continued encouragement of Dr. James D. Ebert, President of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, whose invitation to establish the first nine stages was made twenty years ago.


The authors wish to thank Mr. Ray Bowers and Miss Patricia Parratt of the Carnegie Institution's publications office for the exceptionally great care with which they brought this monograph to fruition.
