Human Embryology
Chapter 1. Introduction

Embryology
 What is Embryology?
1. Definition: the study of the origin and development
of an organism.
2. focuses on the development that occurs in the
prenatal period (gestational period)
Embryology
 Prenatal period: before birth
• 38 weeks(266days,9months) from conception to birth
(average) “fetal” age
• Gynecologic timing has been from LMP (last menstrual
period) therefore refers to 40 weeks “gestational”
age
 Date of conception has been difficult to time
 LMP is on average two weeks before ovulation
prenatal period
 “Embryonic” period: ( embryo)
1.extends from fertilization through 8 weeks.
week 1 starts with fertilization and extends through the first cell
divisions that produce an embryo with one germ layer.
week 2 produce two germ layers.
week 3 produce three germ layers and folds those a recognizable
three dimensional body form.
week 4 through 8 (month 2) are the period of organogenesis.
2.Week 4 is particularly important, as the initial set-up of all
organ systems is completed in this week.
All the major events of organ formation and
formation of body regions occurs during the
period of organogenesis, which is
completed in the embryonic period.
“Fetal” period: 9 weeks – birth (fetus)
• The major events that occur during the fetal period involve
growth in the size of organs by rapid increase in cell number, as
well as biochemical functional maturation.
• Most organs begin with a basic form of functioning during the
fetal period, but it is only for development of the organ itself
usually. The most important is exception is the cardiovascular
system. Mature functional status is not achieved in most organ
untill after birth.

Embryonic body axis terminology
1.The first axis formed is the cranial-caudal axis
The cranial-caudal axis is established while the
embryo is still a flat disk or sheet of cells, long
before it fold into the three-dimensional structure.
This axis runs from the future head to the future
”tail” end.
2. The dorsal-ventral axis is established very shortly
thereafter.
The second major axis the dorsal-ventral, is
formed as the body folds. This axis defines,
respectively, the future” back” and “front” sides of
both embryonic and adult bodies.
Significance of Embryology in medicine
