  • Description - Imagine the excitement of seeing this incredible early period of human development for the first time. Now consider that much of our initial understanding of human development is based upon study of historic embryo collections. You can now look at these historic images of the first 8 weeks after fertilisation and explore for yourself the changes that occur in human development during this key period. This current book is designed as an atlas of the Carnegie embryo stages with some brief notes and additional information covering the first 8 weeks of development. These images are from from the beginning of last century and are one of the earliest documented series of human embryos collected for basic research and medical education on development. I hope you enjoy learning about the amazing early events that begin to make and shape us. This is the second book in a series of educational releases from UNSW Embryology.

Events

  • neural
    • telencephalon areas of the future archicortex, paleocortex, and neocortex, visible. Beginning of future choroid plexus[1]
    • primordium of the epidural space appears first on the ventral part of the vertebral canal and develops rostro-caudally[2]
  • hearing - otic capsule now dense mesenchyme. Otic vesicle elongated along the dorso-ventral axis and differentiated into the end lymphatic appendage and cochlear duct.[3] Otic vesicle vestibular part wall thins prior to semicircular duct appearing. Geniculate ganglion forms. Auditory ossicles, tubotympanic recess and chorda tympani appear. First pharyngeal groove (cleft or hyomandibular groove) begins to form the concha and the external acoustic meatus. Six auricular hillocks present (1 tragus, 2 and 3 crus helicis, 4 and 5 helix, and 6 antitragus).
  • smell olfactory nerve fibres enter the brain[4] The olfactory nerve is organized into two plexuses, lateral and medial, the latter mingled with the terminal-vomeronasal complex.[5] Stages Description | primitive olfactory bulb
  • Vision - Retinal pigment is visible and the retinal fissure is largely closed. Eyelids grooves deepen, eyelid folds develop, first below, and then above, the eye.[6]
  • eyelid sulcus (groove) above and below eye deepen and eyelid folds develop (below first and then above)[6]
  • diaphragm - pleuroperitoneal fold (PPF) no longer separated from the diaphragm (CRL 14mm)[7]
  • Abdominal Wall muscle cells now migrated approximately 50% of the distance to the ventral midline, inner and outer layers were not discernible yet.[8]
  • cardiovascular
  • endocrine[10]
    • Hypophysis - juxtacerebral wall of the craniopharyngeal pouch is the thicker. The lateral lobes (future infundibular, or tuberal, part) and the anterior chamber (Vorraum) are clearly visible (O'Rahilly 1973 a). The infundibular recess displays a characteristically folded wall, namely the neurohypophysis (O'Rahilly 1973 a).
    • thymus - connection of the thymus with the pharynx has been severed (Weller 1933). The thymus is intimately approximated to the cervical duct (ibid.) According to Norris (1937), both third and fourth pouches make contact with the ectoderm, although only the third "receives an increment from the ectoderm".
    • parathyroid - parathyroid 4 is attached to the lateral surface of what Weller (1933) termed the "lateral thyroid component"
    • thyroid The lobes of the thyroid curve around the carotid arteries and are connected by a delicate isthmus. Lacunae "should not be confused with lumina of follicles" (Weller 1933).
    • adrenal Cortex - dorsal part of the whole suprarenal primordium is disorganized by the invasion of sympathetic nerves and cells, while the band of C2 cells and the coelomic epithelium remain intact (Crowder 1957).
    • adrenal Medulla - first neural migration is at its height. Growth of the para-aortic complex is extensive. The plexiform complex is derived from paravertebral sympathetic ganglia T6-12 and usually L 1. Included in it are the primordia of the suprarenal medulla and of the celiac, superior mesenteric, and renal plexuses. Nerve fibres and "paraganglion" (M3) cells enter.
    • pancreas - ventral pancreas has now fused with dorsal (Streeter 1948). Perhaps the ventral and dorsal ducts have begun to blend (Russu and Vaida 1959).
  • meninges (spinal cord) - vertebral rudiments stand out more and more distinctly from the intermediate zone. Over the dorsal surface of the spinal cord the closure membrane is separating into a peripheral and denser body-wall portion and a deeper and looser portion. The latter becomes part of the meninx primitiva, and this can be identified everywhere about the cord. The meninx primitiva has broadened, and its cells are more scattered than in the previous age group. It is deepest ventral to the neural tube and in the lateral parts between adjacent ganglia. The ganglia have migrated so that their ventral tips lie at the level of origin of the ventral nerve root. The vascular channels now surround the spinal ganglia, and small vessels penetrate into the spinal cord. A frontal section through the ganglia shows extensions of the dense lateral concentrations of the vertebral canal, passing medially between each two adjacent ganglia to become continuous with the meninx adjacent to the cord. These extensions are the first indications of the denticulate ligaments of the pia mater. These primordia of the dentate processes are also observed in transverse sections, forming a cellular concentration between the ventralateral part of the neural tube and the ventral part of the neural arch rudiments.[11]
  • limb - neural the median nerve, the radial nerve, and the ulnar nerve enter into the hand plate.[12]
