Introduction
Author Comments |
---|
Start here by looking at the external appearance of embryos in sequence from 1 to 23.
It is not so important to memorise the dates, as they are only approximate, but more important to understand growth (size changes) and the development (overall sequence of events) during this period.
|
This page shows some key events of human development during the embryonic period of the first eight weeks (weeks 1 - 8) following fertilization. This period is also considered the organogenic period, when most organs within the embryo have begun to form.

Use the above stage number links to images and information about each specific stage of human development over the first 8 weeks. The links below give a broad overview of developmental events during each week.
