Human Female Fetus Atlas and Axis (10 week)

Large image version of plane D, close to midline (Stain - Haematoxylin Eosin). 0.5 mm scale bar

Note the atlas cervical vertebra (C1) and axis cervical vertebra (C2) specialised vertebra of the axial skeleton to connect the skull to the vertebral column. The atlas arch and the axis odontoid process are shown.

The vertebral column forms from the sclerotome of somites, each somite pair providing half (left/right) of the vertebral body. The skeleton is still cartilage at this stage and will ossify during the fetal period by endochondral ossification.
