Embryo Examples

  • No. BR, 9.75 mm G. L., 8.8 mm. Summarized by Tandler (1907)[1], who, on the basis of the coital history, gave the age as the “38th day.” About stage 16.
  • 9-mm embryo. The peripheral nervous system was described by Masy (1955)[2] in this embryo of stage 16.
  • Huber No. 3, 10 mm. The nuclei of origin of the cranial nerves and the peripheral nervous system were described by Streeter (1908a,b).[3][4] An advanced example of stage 16.
  • Wetzel (We) embryo, 10 mm. Discussed by v. Hayek (1934)[5] in regard to age, which, based on the coital history, was given as the “40th day.” Probably about stage 16.
  • Carnegie No. 6516, 10.5 mm (corrected). Double ureters described by Wharton (1949)[6].
  • No. H60, University of Missouri, 11 mm. Described briefly by Bonnot and Severs (1906).[7] Probably belongs to stage 16.
