Human Embryo Stage 8
- Carnegie stage 8, day 18
- Scanning EM dorsal view (cut amnion) showing detailed view of the prechordal region.
- The mesoderm in this region will give rise to the embryonic heart tube.
- Selected region from the image selected rostral (cranial) region, which is in turn the rostral region of the entire embryonic disc image.
- Note the rostro-caudal axis (top to bottom), the growing brain region of the neural plate (top) and shape of the folding embryonic disc.
- Note the cut edge of amniotic sac with two layers (upper ectoderm, lower extra-embryonic mesoderm)
