A Human Embryo of Carnegie Stage 12

چکیده
= Abstract =A human embryo obtained from a salpinx removed for the treatment of tubal gestation was serially sectioned and observed. On gross examination, the embryo showed three prominent pharyngeal arches, but not the cervical sinus. The upper arm bud had just begun to appear with a slight elevation in the skin ectoderm. Both the anterior and posterior neuropores had already been closed. The heart was at the cardiac loop stage. The respiratory diverticulum, the dorsal pancreas and the beginning of the omental bursa had appeared. In the pharyngeal region, the adenohypophyseal pocket and the thyroid anlage were observed. The optic evagination showed no regional differentiation yet. From the above findings, we concluded that this embryo belonged to Carnegie stage 12.

Morphological and molecular characteristics of living human fetuses between Carnegie stages 7 and 23: developmental stages in the post-implantation embryo.
Determination of embryonic age groups or stages has been based on the Carnegie Institute collection started in 1887. Improved technology has enabled the building of a new collection of embryos of < 9 weeks gestation; these were then used to compare with the original Carnegie collection. The results suggest that in providing definitive stages that are rigidly bound by developmental events, limit...
متن کاملI-38: Chromosome Instability in The Cleavage Stage Embryo
Recently, we demonstrated chromosome instability (CIN) in human cleavage stage embryogenesis following in vitro fertilization (IVF). CIN not necessarily undermines normal human development (i.e. when remaining normal diploid blastomeres develop the embryo proper), however it can spark a spectrum of conditions, including loss of conception, genetic disease and genetic variation development. To s...

Both cleavage-stage and blastocyst-stage embryo transfer policieshave advantages and drawbacks.Potential advantages of blastocyst culture and transfer in human IVF include: i. synchronization of the embryo with the female tract leading to increasedimplantation rates; thereby, reducing the need for multipleembryo transfers, ii. assessment of viability of an embryobefore transfer. This can be ach...

Background: A prerequisite for successful embryo implantation is adequate preparation of receptive endometrium and the establishment and maintenance of a viable embryo. The success of implantation further relies upon a two-way dialogue between the embryo and uterus. However, molecular bases of these preimplantation and implantation processes in humans are not well known. Materials and Methods: ...

The Carnegie Institution of Washington?s (CIW) Embryology Department was opened in 1914 and remains one of six departments in the CIW. The department quickly became, and remains, world renown for its many embryonic development discoveries. In 1913 Franklin P. Mall, Professor of Anatomy at Johns Hopkins Medical School, applied for a Carnegie grant to support his research with human embryos. Mall...
