Lockdown Embryology with Prof Alice Roberts #3: Week 3

[@stephaniemaria9095]

Fascinating to learn to the role of the Notochord which later is obliterated and is the early footprint of the spinal cord, supporting early communication of the development of the nervous system.

Hi there. I love your videos and the way you teach. I wish my teachers taught like that. Just watched the 3 christmas lectures over at RI's channel. Kindly make a playlist for Primates evolution, Organic Evolution, Fossils and Genetics. Thanks.

Love the jam sandwich analogy.

Amazing. Great to know. Thanks

Astonishing.. .3 weeks out of 9 months and all of this has happened already.

I wonder if that explains why we all love a snowman? “We’re walking in the air”.

Hi, if this was in a film no one would believe it. Lol. I assume all the building blocks for the cells are coming from the mother via the intercellular fluid. Quite amazing as all this growth is happening away from a rich blood supply. What size is the embryo at this stage?

[@aliceroberts4107]

All the cells come from the single fertilised egg! This first few weeks of embryonic development is just astonishing in terms of growth in numbers of cells. During that third week, the embryo (the germ disc itself) grows from around half a millimetre long to around 2mm.

So complex!!

Is the notochord going to form out of the ectorderm , or out of the endoderm?

Greattt... we all start life as a butthole...
