2010 BGD Lecture - Development of the Embryo/Fetus 2

Introduction

--Mark Hill 20:54, 3 May 2010 (EST) I am currently updating the notes that will appear here for 2010. Previous 2008 Lecture

This lecture covers the period of Embryonic development, in Humans from week 3 to week 8 and is divided into 23 Carnegie stages of embryonic development. There will also be a brief introduction to fetal development.

This period of development will also be covered in your Practical, which is currently being updated for 2010 and will be available online. Note, the period from week 9 to week 38 is considered Fetal development and will be covered in detail in the Laboratory 11.

Upper and Lower Limb

Limb development occurs at different times for forelimbs and hindlimbs. In the mid-4th week, human upper limb buds first form and lower limbs about 2 days later. The limbs form at vertebra segmental levels C5-C8 (upper limbs) L3-L5 (lower limbs).
