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.

<html5media height="530" width="375">File:Embryo stages 003.mp4</html5media> | Use the 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.
Alternatively, look through development week by week. Embryo Week: Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9
