This animation shows the growth of the human embryo during the first 8 weeks following fertilization.	This first lecture will be a general introduction to the course and the subject of Embryology. Firstly, an introduction to the course, its content and assessment and an opportunity to ask questions. Secondly, some historic background to the subject and related current Australian trends.

MH - I do not expect you to remember specific historic dates or statistical data, this is provided as an introduction to the topic.

Objectives

1. Understand the course objectives and assessment.
2. Brief understanding of the scientific history of embryology and human development.
3. Brief understanding of Australian statistical data.
