Introduction

---|
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.

The links below give a broad overview of developmental events during each week.
Alternatively, look through development week by week. |
