Introduction

Start here by looking at the external appearance of embryos in sequence from 1 to 23. It is not so important to memorise the dates, as they are only approximate, but more important to understand growth (size changes) and the development (overall sequence of events) during this period.
Clicking the Carnegie stage numbers opens a page dedicated to describing that single stage and the associated developmental events. |
This page shows some key events of human development during the embryonic period of the first eight weeks (weeks 1 - 8) following fertilization. This period is also considered the organogenic period, when most organs within the embryo have begun to form.
