Introduction
Development is a dynamic process with structures changing (shape, name and relationships) over time and the best way to show this is with dynamic images, such as movies. This current page introduces the various movies and animations in UNSW Embryology that illustrate many different aspects of development.
- Page - Opens the movie page with the animation and additional information such as: a description of the movie, additional images, links, references and copyright information. Note, clicking the icon image will also open this page.
- Play - Opens just the movie in the browser window, no additional information is shown.
- Original Quicktime and Flash movie pages will be redirected to the MP4 page.
- Simple animations (animated GIF format) can be seen in Category:Animation.
Mobile Users
All modern platforms and browsers will play MP4 movies. iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch also have a viewing option using the Mobile Access option.
UNSWTV
I have added a larger screencast tutorial on Using the Virtual Microscope, also available on YouTube and iTunes. This is useful resource for students just beginning to use this online histology program.

About Historic Animations
|
Animations are modified and converted from a historic film (circa 1960's, copyright unknown) demonstrating aspects of human heart development.
The sound quality is quite poor and some of the information is now out of date, most general concepts are still correct.
Please note the relatively large size (Mb) of each excerpt will effect download and viewing.

Embryo Stages
Embryo Stage 7
Embryo Stage 11
Embryo Stage 13
Embryo Carnegie stage 13 Movies - Week 4-5 about half way through embryonic development. These are rotating embryo animations based upon reconstruction of serial slice images.
Embryo Stage 14
This rotating teaching model shows the external appearance about midway through embryonic development.
Embryo Stage 17
These rotating movies shows the appearance of human embryo during week 6 Carnegie stage 17. The first movie is a tomography scan, the second movie is a historic model based on serial section reconstructions.
Embryo Stage 22
Embryo Carnegie stage 22 Movies - Week 8 at the end of embryonic development. These are rotating embryo animations based upon reconstruction of serial slice images.

Normal Newborn Neural Exam Movies

Normal Newborn Neural Exam Movies
The newborn neuromuscular system can be initially assessed by 6 quick tests (posture, square window, arm recoil, popliteal angle, scarf sign and heel to ear). The following short videos show clinical examination of these assessments and a number of neonatal reflexes.
Later developmental assessment includes behaviour, reflexes (primitive and postural), muscular tone, and motor (gross, fine, co-ordination).
Normal Newborn Neural Exam Movies
- Neural Exam Movies: normal behaviour | cranial nerves | Newborn Tone - resting posture | upper extremity | arm traction | arm recoil | scarf sign | hand position | lower extremity | leg traction | leg recoil | popliteal angle | heel to ear | neck tone | head lag | head control | Newborn Positions - prone | ventral suspension | vertical suspension | Newborn Reflexes - deep tendon reflexes | plantar reflex | suck, root | Moro | Galant | stepping | grasp | Newborn Head - head shape and sutures | head circumference | Neonatal Diagnosis
