Flash Movies

From Embryology

Introduction

Development is a dynamic process with structures changing (shape, name and relationships) over time and the best way to show this is with the dynamic images of movies.

This current page introduces a list of pages containing the various Flash movies and animations in UNSW Embryology that illustrate many different aspects of development.

play - if movie not playing, click the round circle enclosing a triangle in the movie centre.
autoplay - most movies are set to start when the linked page opens and loop continuously.
pause - will stop the movie. Click again to restart.
progress - dragging this icon will control the movie.
sound - most movies do not have sound unless indicated on the page.
full screen - clicking the expand icon (black box with 4 outward arrows) will open movie in full screen.
original size - press keyboard "esc" key or contract icon ((black box with 4 inward arrows) to return to original size.

Human Embryo

Human Embryonic Development - Page with an animation covering the first 8 weeks from fertilization, embryos are scaled to relative sizes (5 mm scale bar).

Human Embryonic Face Development - Page with an animation covering Carnegie stage 16 to 18.

Fetal Development - Page with an animation covering the fetal period showing changing proportions, not size, of the fetus.

Human Development cartoon - large animation covering all human development.

Historic Heart

These historic animations include audio descriptions. Some of these descriptions may be currently inaccurate, the transfer is from an old class film and the audio track is of very poor quality.
