Embryo Week: Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9
Day	Stage	Event
29		Pituitary - Week 5 elongation, contacts infundibulum, diverticulum of diencephalon Heart - Week 5 septation starts, atrial and ventricular Respire - Week 5 left and right lung buds push into the pericardioperitoneal canals (primordia of pleural cavity) Respire - Week 5 to 17 lung histology - pseudoglandular Hearing - Week 5 cochlear part of otic vesicle elongates (humans 2.5 turns)

32	Stage 14	Ectoderm - sensory placodes, lens pit, otocyst, nasal placode, primary/secondary vesicles, fourth ventricle of brain Mesoderm - continued segmentation of paraxial mesoderm (somite pairs), heart prominence Head - 1st, 2nd and 3rd pharyngeal arch, forebrain, site of lens placode, site of otic placode, stomodeum Body - heart, liver, umbilical cord, mesonephric ridge visible externally as bulges. Limb - upper and lower limb buds growing Neural - first appearance of the future cerebral hemispheres. Cerebellar plate differentiated to an intermediate layer, and future rhombic lip identifiable Liver hepatic gland and its vascular channels enlarge, hematopoietic function appears
33	Stage 15	Neural - cranial nerves (except olfactory and optic) are identifiable in more advanced embryos
34
35		Eye - 35 to 37 days retinal pigment present
