    Study Notes

    Early Embryology Theories

    • The theory of preformationism was proposed by Marcello Malpighi and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, suggesting that organisms develop from pre-existing miniature versions of themselves.

    Accepted Embryonic Development Theory

    • The accepted theory of embryonic development is epigenesis, which proposes that an organism develops from an undifferentiated mass of cells through a series of complex interactions and processes.

    Modern Embryology Development

    • Modern embryology is attributed to the contributions of Karl Ernst von Baer, who is known for the development of modern embryology.

    Scope of Embryology

    • Embryology studies not only prenatal development but also the development of organs and tissues, postnatal development, and the growth and development of animals and plants.

    Contributions to Modern Embryology

    • Accurate observations in Italy were made by Marcello Malpighi, contributing to the development of modern embryology.
