On the embryo surface sensory placodes and limb buds appear. Sensory placodes (otic, lens, nasal) will form specific components of the ear, eye and nose.

Within the embryo, this period of organogensis is usually extended to cover until 8 weeks of development. Folding of the embryo continues and the earliest functioning organ is the heart. Other systems such as the circulatory, digestive, urogenital and nervous system begin to all take shape. | |||
As systems are beginning to develop, each page in this section is only a brief summary with additional links to specific notes covering these systems/tissues. Note that most tissue development during week 4 will also be covered in the system development notes. | |||

Introduction
Key Events of Human Development during the fourth week (week 4) following fertilization or clinical gestational age GA week 6, based on last menstrual period.
These notes cover the fourth week of embryonic development, which is the beginning of organogenesis, (specific tissues and systems are beginning to differentiate) from the trilaminar embryo.
On the embryo surface sensory placodes and limb buds appear. Sensory placodes (otic, lens, nasal) will form specific components of the ear, eye and nose. Limb buds form from ectoderm and mesoderm (somite) components and are the "paddle-like" projections from the trunk which will form all the upper and lower limb components.
Within the embryo, this period of organogensis is usually extended to cover until 8 weeks of development. Folding of the embryo continues and the earliest functioning organ is the heart. Other systems such as the circulatory, digestive, urogenital and nervous system begin to all take shape.
As systems are beginning to develop, each page in this section is only a brief summary with additional links to specific notes covering these systems/tissues. Note that most tissue development during week 4 will also be covered in the system development notes.

heart - begins to beat in Humans by day 22-23, first functioning embryonic organ formed. | ||
Stage 11 |
thyroid - thyroid median endodermal thickening in the floor of pharynx neural - rostral (or cephalic) neuropore closes within a few hours; closure is bidirectional, it takes place from the dorsal and terminal lips and may occur in two areas simultaneously. The two lips, however, behave differently. Optic ventricle appears | |
Stage 12 |
pituitary - Week 4 hypophysial pouch, Rathke's pouch, diverticulum from roof liver septum transversum forming liver stroma and hepatic diverticulum forming hepatic trabeculae[2] neural - caudal neuropore takes a day to close (closure is approximately at future somitic pair 31/sacral vertebra 2) neural - secondary neurulation begins neural crest - cardiac crest, neural crest from rhombomeres 6 and 7 that migrates to pharyngeal arch 3 and from there the truncus arteriosus[1] neural crest - vagal neural crest enter the foregut (20-25 somite stage) | |
Stage 13 | Neural - the neural tube is normally completely closed, ventricular system now separated from amniotic fluid. Neural crest at spinal level is segregating, and spinal ganglia are in series with the somites. Spinal cord ventral roots beginning to develop.[3]
telencephalon cavity appears liver epithelial cord proliferation enmeshing stromal capillaries[2] smell Crest comes from the nasal placodes[4] integumentary - 4 weeks simple ectoderm epithelium over mesenchyme integumentary - 1 to 3 months ectoderm - germinative (basal) cell repeated division of generates stratified epithelium; mesoderm - differentiates into connective tissue and blood vessels | |
