I love the fact that u are turning this into a story and making us feel like we are the embryo. It really helps when u spice things up like that. I wish my dry, boring professorr wud watch this video and take notes. Thanks a bunch :)

You explained early embryogenesis in 12 minutes. My professor with over 20 years of experience couldn't explain all this to me in an hour! Thank you!

[@manuel3812]

As far as I know, the zona pellucida does not simply disappear. Instead the blastoceol cavity continues to expand through trophoblasts, which are epithelium, pumping fluid into the cavity. As the cavity grows, so does the tension the blastocyst imposes on the zona pellucida. Eventually the blastocyst pops through the zona pellucida (termed 'hatching'). Source: Medical School Embryology

[@DStrick2008]

+Manuel Armas Yes...The conceptus "hatches" as a blatocyst from the zona pellucida.

[@merhoumrayane3400]

yep that's waht happens...was wondering the same thing and there's a lot of detials left behind

[@elitegaming4262]

It never ceases to amaze me how seamlessly you break down just about anything.

[@clarissajimenez4108]

I'm a freshman in veterinary school and this is so helpful! Your videos help students of vet med, medicine, physio and everything in between. Amazing job!

[@whelanz3]

So what I've learned here...is either you were hungry and had food on the mind when voicing over this, or embryos are just very food-like. We got mulberries, melons, pancakes, syrup, and then I was reminded a bit of a burger and a hot dog.

[@gamesneeder]

I wish you would have spoken about the trophoblast differentiating into the cytotrophoblast and the syncytiotrophoblast. But all the same, a very educating video. Thank you.

This was the best khan academy vid i've watched so far in any subject. this guy deserves a raise

[@mattonxia1392]

8:12 . It might be a bit deceiving since the hypoblast (Yellow) is the same color as the endoderm. The epiblast is responsible for all three germ layers

[@Tallowah21]

This video was absolutely amazing. I have been reading my textbook and watching other videos and still didn't get a full understanding as to how the process works. You broke down quite effortlessly and in a manner that even my 6yr old son could understand. Thanks so much for sharing. Please continue to make more videos. I sincerely appreciate them.

You are literally sitting in class next to your friends and saying what the hell is this, and they say I don't know but I guess we are supposed to learn it.

[@jamescaines8356]

The morula stage has 16 cells and the zona still on it... Also all three layers of the tri laminar disk are derived from the epiblast diving in at the primitive streak. The hypoblast is completely obliterated. That point is important but wasnt made.

[@zachnygren6573]

+James Caines, some sources will say that the endoderm is derived from the hypoblast. It depends on the textbook/source you refer to

+James Caines 32 cell stage is morula

You're probably right. Med school is generally wrong.
