The Embryonic Timeline – And You Thought You Had A Busy Week!
Every now and then we allow Dr. Shepherd to revisit his previous career as an embryologist. This week, he explains the embryonic timeline in the first week of life. Beginning with ovulation and fertilization to cell division and finally implantation. Often we learn this when studying for our boards and then forget it over time since we are unable to visualize it. This lecture provides a simple discussion of a very complex event.
This discussion prepares you for next weeks lecture on twins and
determining chorionicity and amnionicity. Stay tuned!
