Computer Activities

UNSW Embryology:

Embryo Images Unit:

Unit: Early Cell Populations & Establishment of Body Form, Body Cavities

Objectives

  • Describe the development of the intra- and extra-embryonic coeloms.
  • Describe the processes involved in the development of the three divisions of the intra-embryonic coelom; pericardium, pleural cavities and peritoneum.
  • Describe the fate of the extra embryonic coelom.
  • Describe the development of the diaphragm.

Learning activities

  • Review the development of the 3-layered embryo, with particular reference to the antero-posterior and lateral folding processes.
  • Examine the 6mm pig and 27mm human embryo microfiche cards identifying the main features of the developing coelom.
  • Identify the diaphragm in the 27mm human embryo and relate this to the development of the diaphragm.
  • Discuss the developmental anomalies associated with the formation of the diaphragm.
