Human Embryology
Before we even begin to discuss development, lets look at the events that precede the first cell in reproductive cycles and the germ cells.
Textbooks/Journals
Carnegie Stages
These carnegie stage images are the easiest way to observe the first 8 weeks of human development through images and brief descriptions.

Embryo Serial Sections
These cross-sections through embryos of different ages show changes in structure, position and size of body organs and tissues.
Embryo Serial Sections - page with links to all serial images.
Early Development
Movies
There are many different animations showing developmental processes and research material. Two different formats are currently available.
Human System Development
With so many different developmental changes occurring at the same time, it is often easier to focus on a single system and follow its developmental sequence.
- Human System Development - an introductory page describing the development of different systems and specialized organs. Use the links listed below to view specific topics.
Fetal Development
These notes cover the period after the first 8 weeks (embryonic) and discuss changes that occur mainly in the second and third trimester of development.
Fetal Serial Sections
Planes A (most lateral), B (lateral), C (medial) and D (midline) from lateral towards the midline.
.
Human Neonatal
Development does not stop at birth and while this site is mainly about prenatal development the following resources cover postnatal development.
- Neonatal Development - the events of the first four weeks after birth (postnatal) of human development.
Histology
Human Abnormal Development
While development is a robust biological process, things can go wrong. The following links are to content that cover how we can diagnose problems and how those problems arise.
Stem Cells
Long before stem cells where in the news, embryologists where trying to understand how cells with the same genetic content can make so many different types of cells in the body.

Student Editing Tutorials
These pages have been designed to help students develop their online projects following specific guidelines for this site.
K12 Students
K12 pages are prepared for students of primary and secondary education. Content on other site pages, for example abnormal development, may not be suitable for young students. All suitable pages have Category:K12 at the bottom of each page.
Animal Development
- Animal Development - an introduction to the development in other species, including those that are used as research models of development.

It is important to remember how we got to where we are today in our understanding of development. The resources below cover the time course, some early textbooks and some selected people in historic embryology research.
