Objectives At the end of the three lectures, students should be able to Describe the critical events that take place during embryo development to form a functional human body Understand the cellular basis of the mechanisms of these events Use this knowledge to predict what would happen if things do not go to plan WHY STUDY EMBRYOLOGY? Human Chicken Rabbit WHY STUDY EMBRYOLOGY? - Logical framework for understanding adult anatomy - Provides information about many issues: reproduction, contraception, stem cells, etc. - Informs about when things go wrong: birth defects, cancer Congenital disorders - Congenital disease, birth defect - Structural or functional (e.g. metabolic disorder) defects - Condition present at or before birth (regardless of cause) - Genetic, infectious, nutritional and/or environmental in origin - Occurs in approximately 3% of live birth Some examples: - Orofacial clefts (lip, palate) 1:1000 - Trisomy 21 (Down) 1:700-900 (1:380 if early termination and death also counted) - Heart defects 1:110 - Neural tube defects 1:2400 - Polydactyly 1:1100 Periods of human embryology Conceptus: Fertilization to end of 2nd week Embryo: Beginning of 3rd week to end of 8th week Fetus: 3rd month to birth http://schoolbag.info/biology/humans/25.html Early stages cell become smaller(half of mother * cell) -> identical DNA.

Why are the early cell divisions called “cleavages”? What are the two cell types of the blastocyst? What is gastrulation? What is the function of the notochord? From which germ layer does the neural tube form? Where do neural crest cells come from? What organs are formed by the ectoderm?
