Practical 6: Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Quiz


Key Events of Human Development during the fifth week (week 5) following fertilization or Clinical week 7 (LMP).

By this week there are many different organs and tissues differentiating throughout the embryo, only a few select systems will be discussed.

Cardiovascular

  • Heart - septation starts, atrial and ventricular
  • Vascular - 3 vascular systems (systemic, placental, vitelline) extensively remodelled

Respiratory

  • left and right lung buds push into the pericardioperitoneal canals (primordia of pleural cavity)

Neural

  • Central nervous system - secondary vesicles
  • Sensory - Hearing cochlear part of otic vesicle elongates (humans 2.5 turns)
