embryology

Examples of embryology in the following topics:

• Body Planes and Sections

  • Anatomical change during embryological development is also described and measured with body planes.
  • In comparative embryology, body planes provide a basis for comparing the ways in which different types of organisms develop anatomically within the womb.

• Embryological and Fetal Events

  • Differentiate between the embryological development of male and female reproductive systems

• Clusters of Neuronal Cell Bodies

  • They are of a similar embryological origin to Schwann cells of the PNS, as they are both derived from the neural crest of the embryo during development.

• Development of the Urinary System

  • Intermediate mesenchyme or intermediate mesoderm is a type of embryological tissue called "mesoderm" that is located between the paraxial mesoderm and the lateral plate.

• Anatomy of the Digestive System

  • Upon gross dissection, the duodenum may appear to be a unified organ, but it is often divided into two parts based upon function, arterial supply, or embryology.

• General Features and Functions of the Skull

  • The adult human skull is comprised of twenty-tw0 bones which are divided into two parts of differing embryological origin: the neurocranium and the viscerocranium.

• Development of the Endocrine System

• Ventricles

  • The structures of the ventricular system are embryologically derived from the center of the neural tube (the neural canal).

• Development of the Cardiovascular System

  • The aortic arches or pharyngeal arch arteries are a series of six paired, embryological vascular structures which give rise to several major arteries .

• Capillaries

  • During embryological development, new capillaries are formed by vasculogenesis, the process of blood vessel formation occurring by a de novo production of endothelial cells and their formation into vascular tubes.
