Introduction
This lecture covers the period of Embryonic development, in Humans from week 3 to week 8 (GA week 5-10) and is divided into 23 Carnegie stages of embryonic development. There will also be a brief introduction to fetal development. Note, the period from week 9 to week 38 is considered Fetal development and will be covered in detail in the Laboratory 12.
2019 Lecture PDF
Lecture Objectives

First 8 Weeks
The Carnegie stages of the first 8 week of human development.
Week 3
Mesoderm means the "middle layer" and it is from this layer that the body's connective tissues are derived (note that the head neural crest ectoderm also forms connective tissues)
In early mesoderm development a number of transient structures will form and then be lost as tissue structure is patterned and organised.
Humans as vertebrates have a "backbone" and the first mesoderm structure we will see form after the notochord will be somites.
- Mesoderm and Ectoderm Cartoons
Paraxial and Lateral Plate
Mesoderm organization: (left to right)
lateral plate - intermediate mesoderm - paraxial mesoderm - axial mesoderm - paraxial mesoderm - intermediate mesoderm - lateral plate
|
Stage 7 paraxial mesoderm
Stage 7 intermediate mesoderm
|
Axial Mesoderm
|
- Axial Mesoderm = notochord
- mechanical role in embryonic disc folding
- molecular role in patterning surrounding tissues
Adult - contributes to the nucleus pulposis of the intervertebral disc
|
Stage 7 primitive-streak-node
Stage 7 cloacal-oral-membranes
|
Paraxial Mesoderm
|
- differentiates rostro-caudally (head to tail)
- head region - remains unsegmented
- body region - segments to form pairs of somites along the length of the embryo.
Adult - contributes vertebral column (vertebra and IVD), dermis of the skin, skeletal muscle of body and limbs
|
Intermediate Mesoderm
|
- named by position (between paraxial and lateral plate)
- differentiates rostro-caudally (head to tail)
- renal forms 3 sets of "kidneys" in sequence
- pronephros
- mesonephros
- metanephros
Adult - metanephros forms the renal kidney
|
Lateral Plate Mesoderm
|
- at edge of embryonic disc
- "horseshoe shaped" space forms in the middle, dividing this region
- somatic mesoderm - closest to ectoderm
- intra-embryonic coelom - single space forms the 3 major body cavities (pericardial, pleural, peritoneal)
- splanchnic mesoderm - closest to endoderm
Adult - body connective tissues, gastrointestinal tract (connective tissues, muscle, organs), heart
|
Week 4
Somite Development
Somite initially forms 2 main components
- ventromedial- sclerotome forms vertebral body and intervertebral disc
- dorsolateral - dermomyotome forms dermis and skeletal muscle
sclerotome and dermomyotome
epaxial and hypaxial muscles
Sclerotome
|
Dermatome
|
- sclerotome later becomes subdivided
- rostral and caudal halves separated laterally by von Ebner's fissure
- half somites contribute to a single vertebral level body
- other half intervertebral disc
- therefore final vertebral segmentation “shifts”
|
- connective tissue underlying epidermis
- begins as a dorsal thickening
- spreads throughout the body
|
Myotome
|
- Body - epaxial and hypaxial muscles
- Limbs - flexor and extensor muscles
|
Heart
Mesoderm vascular development
- forms initially in splanchnic mesoderm of prechordal plate region - cardiogenic region
- growth and folding of the embryo moves heart ventrallly and downward into anatomical position
- week 3 begins as paired heart tubes that fuse to form single heart tube
- begins to beat in Humans- day 22-23
- heart tube connects to blood vessels forming in splanchnic and extraembryonic mesoderm
Week 2-3 pair of thin-walled tubes
Week 3 tubes fused, truncus arteriosus outflow, heart contracting
Week 4 heart tube continues to elongate, curving to form S shape
Week 5 Septation starts, atrial and ventricular
- Links: Cardiac Embryology
Neural
- Mesoderm and Ectoderm Cartoons
Paraxial and Lateral Plate
Stage 10 Week 4, 22 - 23 days
Stage 11 neural groove to tube
Neural Plate
|
- extends from buccopharyngeal membrane to primitive node
- forms above notochord and paraxial mesoderm
- neuroectodermal cells
- broad brain plate
- narrower spinal cord
- 3 components form: floor plate, neural plate, neural crest
|
Neural Groove
- forms in the midline of the neural plate (day 18-19)
- either side of which are the neural folds which continues to deepen until about week 4
- neural folds begins to fuse, beginning at 4th somite level
Neural Tube
|
- the neural tube forms the brain and spinal cord
- fusion of neural groove extends rostrally and caudally
- begins at the level of 4th somite
- closes neural groove "zips up" in some species.
- humans appear to close at multiple points along the tube.
- leaves 2 openings at either end - Neuropores
- cranial neuropore closes before caudal
Failure for the neural tube to close correctly or completely results in a neural tube defect.
|
|
Neural - 3 primary vesicles
Neural Crest
- population of cells at the edge of the neural plate that lie dorsally when the neural tube fuses
- dorsal to the neural tube, as a pair of streaks
- pluripotential, forms many different types of cells
- cells migrate throughout the embryo
Neural Crest Derivatives: dorsal root ganglia, autonomic ganglia, adrenal medulla, drg sheath cells, glia, pia-arachnoid sheath, skin melanocytes, connective tissue of cardiac outflow, thyroid parafollicular cells, craniofacial skeleton, teeth odontoblasts
Head
Stage 14 pharyngeal arches
- branchial arch (Gk. branchia= gill)
- arch consists of all 3 trilaminar embryo layers (ectoderm- outside, mesoderm - core of mesenchyme, endoderm - inside)
- Humans have 5 arches - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (Arch 5 does not form or regresses rapidly)
- from in rostro-caudal sequence, Arch 1 to 6 from week 4 onwards
- arch 1 and 2 appear at time of closure of cranial neuropore
- Face - mainly arch 1 and 2
- Neck components - arch 3 and 4 (arch 4 and 6 fuse)
Sensory Placodes
- During week 4 a series of thickened surface ectodermal patches form in pairs rostro-caudally in the head region.
- These sensory placodes will later contribute key components of each of our special senses (vision, hearing and smell).
- Note that their initial postion on the developing head is significantly different to their final position in the future sensory system
- Otic placode - istage 13/14 embryo the otic placode sunk from the surface ectoderm to form a hollow epithelial ball, the otocyst, which now lies beneath the surface surrounded by mesenchyme (mesoderm). The epithelia of this ball varies in thickness and has begun to distort, it will eventually form the inner ear membranous labyrinth.
- Lens placode - lies on the surface, adjacent to the outpocketing of the nervous system (which will for the retina) and will form the lens.
- Nasal placode - has 2 components (medial and lateral) and will form the nose olefactory epithelium.
Upper and Lower Limb
|
- Limb development occurs at different times for forelimbs and hindlimbs.
- mid-4th week human upper limb buds first
- lower limbs about 2 days later
- The limbs form at vertebra segmental levels C5-C8 (upper limbs) L3-L5 (lower limbs).
- Limbs are initially undifferentiated mesenchyme (mesoderm) with an epithelial (ectoderm) covering.
- Blood vessels then begin forming, the largest (marginal vein) is adjacent to tip of the bud.
- Myotome invade the bud.
|
Gastrointestinal Tract
- Begins at buccopharyngeal membrane
- Ends at cloacal membrane
- 3 distinct portions (fore-, mid- and hind-gut)
- liver earliest forming organ
Germ layer contributions
- Endoderm - epithelium and associated glands
- Mesoderm (splanchnic) - mesentry, connective tissues, smooth muscle, blood vessels
- Ectoderm (neural crest) - enteric nervous system
Both endoderm and mesoderm will contribute to associated organs.

Note - Fetal development topic will be covered in detail in practical 12 - Fetal. Information below is only a brief summary and may not be covered in this lecture.
- First Trimester (1 - 12 weeks) - embryonic and early fetal
- Second Trimester (13 - 24 weeks) - organ development, function, and growth (length)
- Third Trimester (25 - 40 weeks) - organ function and rapid growth (weight)
Fetal Neural
Timeline of events in Human Neural Development
- During the fetal period there is ongoing growth in size, weight and surface area of the brain and spinal cord. Microscopically there is ongoing: cell migration, extension of processes, cell death and glial cell development.
- Brain - folding of the initially smooth surface (insular cortex, gyral and culcal development)
- Neural development will continue after birth with substantial growth, death and reorganization occuring during the postnatal period
