Photographs of a Series of Sections of an Early Human Embryo

By B. H. Buxton (Plates XVI. - XXVII.)

((Historic Disclaimer}}

  • Estimated age - 25days.
  • Ovum - Size of pigeon's egg, covered with shaggy vili
  • Embryo - Length, 5mm. Thickness, 2mm.


Taken fresh from uterus after hysterectomy, and kept for a year in 2 percent. formalin before hardening.


Hardened in absolute alcohol, imbedded in celloidin, and cut in112 serial sections, each 20 micro-millimetres thick. Stained with haematoxylin and eosin (Stain - Haematoxylin Eosin).

Photographs

25 diameters, Spencer, 2in. Noocular.

100 diameters, Spencer, 1/2 in. Zeiss projection ocular.

180 diameters, Spencer, 1/4 in., Zeiss projection ocular.

500 diameters, Leitz, 1/12 oil. , Zeiss projection immersion.

The embryo is lying on its right side, and the sections are cut sagittally from left to right.

The first six plates are in regular order from left to right, and the numbers are those of the sections.

Special Points

Alltantois.-The cavity of the stalk can be traced a short dis- tancefromthecloaca. Itthenappearstocloseup. Thecavity of the yolk stalk is open, and continuous with that of the intes- tine.

Alimentary Canal.-The pituitary involution forms an un- branched tubule, extending upwards between the fore and hind brain from the roof of the mouth. The hyomandibular and three bronchial pouches can be clearly traced. A septum,containingnomesoblast,separatesthemfrom thecorrespondinggrooves. FromtheEsophagus,the laryngeal chamber branches of, and the trachea divides into two primary bronchi, but there are no secondary branches.


The stomach shows as an elongated dilatation.


The pancreas and bile-duct are present in early stages.


The liver is already of considerable size, and richly supplied with blood.


The vitelline loop extends outside the embryo, its cavity being continuous with that of the yolk stalk. Beyond the vitelline loop the intestine dilates slightly, and then contracts again to form the rectum, which opens into the cloaca.


Beyond the cloaca is the narrow post-anal gut, which shows, however, a marked dilatation at its caudal extremity.

Circulatory

Heart

Single auricle and ventricle,from which latter arises the truncus arteriosus. Arches I. and IL. are obliterated, but I.,IV., and V. can be traced on either side to the anterior dorsal aorte, which join about opposite the lungs to form the single dorsal aorta, which, after giving of the vitelline artery, divides into the allantoic arteries a little anterior to the cloaca. The remnant of the dorsal aorta continues as the caudal aorta.

The blood is returned by the allantoic and vitelline veins, which unite, partly breaking up in the liver to form the portal system, and partly running directly into the sinus venosus by means of the ductus venosus.

The cardinal veins, running dorsally to the Wolffian bodies, return the blood from the embryo, the anterior and posterior on either side combining to form the Cuvierian veins, which empty intothesinusvenosus.

Nervous System

Cranial flexure is marked. Of the cranial nerves,-

  • V. Supplies the mandibular arch.
  • VII. Supplies the hyoid arch.
  • VIII. Supplies the ear.
  • IX. Supplies the first bronchial arch.
  • X. Supplies the 2nd and 3rd bronchial arches.


The cervical nerves V.-VIII. and 1st dorsal join to form the brachial plexus.

There is no trace of the sacral plexus.


Skeletal

The notochord cannot be traced further forward than a point opposite the hyoid arch, but from that place to the extreme end of the tail is well marked. It exhibits several dilatations, one of which is shown on Plate XXVII., d. No head cavities or muscle plates anterior to those of the hypoglossal region can be found.


Muscle plates of hypoglossal region: Three distinct plates can be seen on either side; the anterior plate appears to split up, and may perhaps be considered to represent two plates,which would make up the usual number of four.

The dorsal muscle plates are differentiated into muscular and dermal layers, except in their more ventral portions.

The fore and hind limbs appear as buds, composed of undifferentiated cells.

Genito-Urinary

The Wolffian ducts commence just behind the lung, and run posteriorly outside the Wolffian bodies to the eloaca. Just before the ducts reach the cloaca the ureters appear as evaginations from them.

SpecialSense Organs

Eye.-The optic vesicle buds off from the fore-brain, the lumen being still wide open. It rises up to form the optic cup, of which the retinal is already somewhat thicker than the pigmentary layer. The choroidal fissure is well marked, and the vesicle of the lens is still open to the exterior.


The Ear forms an elongated, roughly quadrangular sac, closed off from the exterior. Closely connected with its vestibular portion is the ganglion of the eighth nerve.


The Nose.- Olfactory plates are present as thickened ridges of the epiblast, but there are as yet no involutions to form the olfactory pits.
