Medical Embryology - Difficult Concepts of Early Development Explained Simply

This short video goes into the changes that occur to a newly-fertilized zygote as it develops through the bilaminar and trilaminar phases. The video concludes with an illustration of how the gut tube and mesentery forms.

Who is this man?! How are none of my professors in med school 1/10 as good at explaining embryology as this??? Very impressed with this tutorial.

[@moristhetiger]

Peter J ward, I have seen him on Lecturio he is a very humble and down to earth person. He is a wonderful human being and a genius too.

[@Ryderere]

Just had an "Aha!" moment. Thank you for making this video. I feel like for the first time ever I'm able to clearly understand the basic concepts of embryonic development.

[@abdullahallawnha8019]

Im about to write my dental boards in 2 days and this video makes me actually want to cry for how amazing of a job you've done in explaining what two years of dental school couldn't. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@kiweeeed]

His video made me grateful to be alive. Your comment makes me feel blissful and cried a bit. Life is beautful.

[@shreeshail143]

Thank you very much for this video

[@Rheinhart2]

This is a remarkable study guide for visual learners. Kudos

[@AmiCelli22]

I always hated embryology the most, random tubes and cell layers, never understood it until now. You Sir, are the professor every student wishes to have, excellent explanation. Thank you so much. Greetings from a German medical student

[@nadaraneen1]

after 35 years of studying this in medical school, finally I can visualize this Thank you very much

[@remusomega]

+Mahmood Alasmi You have been in medical school for 35 years?

[@miraikaisar386]

+remusomega That's a normal thing in egypt. 7 years uni 1 year army 3 for completely useless but mandatory reasons 3 for masters 3 for Phd. That's about 17 years. Not to mention the seminars and travelling and stuff so it takes quite a bit to become a doctor here

[@duvasar]

Its almost 2020 and this video is still the best representation of embryology that I have ever seen and is far clearer than anything my med school professors have described

[@aworm]

What're you up to now doc?

[@shaligramsharma939]

every student in developmental biology must watch it.

[@slayerzorro]

You just explained three 2 hour uni lectures in 18 minutes and somehow you did it more clearly too, give this man a nobel prize!

[@f10italia]

My medical course is heavily self-directed and it essentially requires all students to learn the underlying concepts of science by themselves. Now unlike physiology (which I studied in my undergrad), never even took a single module in embryology. As a 'newcomer' to the subject, I am thankful for this video. Impressed with how much work has been put in this!

[@cooljuicyfruit]

thank you SOO MUCH, i mean waw it just cleared up 6 hours of lecture in 16 minutes and i can see the process happening in my mind instead of a bunch of words

[@leelam8237]

This video is literally everything. EVERYTHING.

[@josephsedlak6199]

I am simply amazed by all the hard work that went into making this video! Thank you!

[@johnmichael5135]

u are the only reason i passed my embryo exam. Thank you so much for your time and your generosity :)

[@ACHIEVEWN]

This is AMAZING! Thank you sir!! Really appreciate the help and effort!

[@ontariojo]

Understood embryology for the first time. Huge thanks to you and evolution!!!!!!!

[@cooldude117007]

I almost never leave comments, but when you brought out the play-doh this became absolutely amazing. Thank you so much!

[@yuvikayadav1203]

You have no idea how much of a blessing this video has been! Thank you so much! 🙏🙏

[@sawaisahmed]

Thank you for giving this amazing physical 3D picture of early development!! You made my life 1000x easier!

[@vukmatic]

no better video on the same topic out there! Thank you so much!

[@MuhammadAthallahArsyaf]

This guy is a genius! Why cant medical schools teach as revolutionary as this. Cant believe they think using slides is effective enough to explain such complex concepts.

[@summerluvingxo]

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! Honestly, more teachers need to be like you and learn from you. It literally changes everything and the way students think and learn. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart because I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into making such a complex concept much simpler!

[@danny_liver_surgeon]

This is phenomenal. Nobody could explain the early embryogenesis better than this ever..thank you so much..

[@mariamaboye8879]

THERE IS NO WORD THAT CAN DESCRIBE HOW THANKFUL I AM FOR WATCHING YOUR AMAZING EARLY DEVELOPMET TUTORIAL VIDEO. YOU SAVE MY LIFE. THANK YOU AND YOUR SUPPORTERS BEHIND THE CAMERA SO MUCH.

[@amirrezaghasemi8681]

Just one word to say...FANTASTIC!

[@evelee9163]

Amazing video! I watched this once and I understood these concepts so well. I have been trying to wrap my head around embryology for almost a year and this made everything make sense! Kudos to you Professor! Keep up the great work.

[@punitabadodaria7043]

Got all my concepts clear.... Really helpful than all other on KZbin about the topic.

Amazingly clear and concise! Condensed 10 hours of my struggling into 20 minutes. Thanks so much!

[@habibcell328]

Wow! great job. I have been trying to learn the early events of embryology, and believe me I had tried many different stuff and every time I was left confused. Until I accidentally came to this video and you save me a lot of time. Please keep the good work and let us know more about these complicated concepts.

[@annacaroline9424]

Couldn't have explained in a better way! Thank you sooo much!

[@victorlevi3735]

How to be an expert in embryology with a 18 minute lecture, this is pure genius, it literally taught me more than 20 hours of pure embryology at school. Thank you

[@gowthamkrishnamoorthym6897]

Thank you sir,one of the best video's in KZbin .

[@nainashah6974]

Finally I get it! Your method is creative and engaging. Thank you sir!

I'm in third year of med school and never bothered with embryology because the basics sounded like jbberish but now I actually feel like I know what's going on. Amazing video!!

[@rimramrururamrim5728]

great visual aid in understanding this topic for finals!

[@dr.janpreetsingh5103]

take a bow sir!!! for this awesome explanation!!

[@vicstrix]

awesome, thank you for such a 3D perspective - makes sense of all the different planes.

[@rajivkant1450]

beautiful video, clears lots of doubts. Fantastic.

[@xBustedHeart]

there is no way to teach embryology through text. it needs to be demonstrated so perfectly as you did. Thank you soo much

[@adityaprakash7067]

sir, I have read my embryology book min 10 times but now I cleared my 1st 3 chapters in just 18 mins. thank you so much 😊😊😊 waiting for new ideas

[@gabriella12341000]

So very helpful ! Thank you so much ! I've been struggling to really comprehend this topic a bit until 18 minutes and 31 seconds ago !

[@chickadee584]

This is awesome! Learned SO much. Thank you for doing this!!

[@abhishekanand7587]

wow the title of your video '' DIFICULT CONCEPT OF EARLY EMBROYOLOGY EXPLAINED SIMPLY'' really suits it. this was the video i was searching from 10 days .....today i got this ...now i fell embroyology is so simple ,,,,, A BIG THANK YOUUUUUUU.....

[@anuraginisingh3104]

Its completely awesome. Thanks for great explanation.

[@elliottm5662]

Your video is literally the best video I have EVER seen teaching embryology. I study medicine at Cambridge and THIS is world class education. Give this man a medal!

[@karenk4027]

this was amazing and so helpful! thank you so much Dr. Ward!!

[@stnsafira]

BEST EMBRYOLOGY VIDEO EVER

[@artidave2088]

This is such a great video - thank you so much! Finally think I may understand what so many textbooks have been trying to tell me :)

[@jacquelinecammaerts6400]

Brilliant - I hvae no biology background and understood this perfectly - thank you so much

[@joeychia3549]

This video is super useful. The idea of using a clay to demonstrate is brilliant! It helps you visualize everything. After watching this video, I finally understood! Thank you very much! I'm going to share this to my friends. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@JuliaKnight90]

My Prof at the university tried to explain it the way you did with playdoh stuff, but you did a thausand times better - thank you so much for this great video that saves so much time on understanding ebryology =)

[@pvcdoc2327]

The explanation wrt the formation of the gut tube and mesentry and the coelomic cavities and body wall from the mesoderm was brillaint. An extremely difficult concept to visualize and to include what happens to the amniotic cavity was brilliant. The next difficult concept for me was the amnitic cavity in relationship to the Chorionic cavity and the fusion of the amnion and chorion with the formation of the umbilical cord and vessels. Once you have all these concepts in place the organogenesis and especially the arrangement of the organs in the body follows naturally. Without these concepts it is all trying to remember from rote and not from understanding. Thank you for excellent video. Simplicity is the basis of brilliance !

[@yohannguichard8130]

This is a brilliant explanation! It helps so much. Thanks!

[@charusrivastava1952]

Amazingly explained 🤘

[@BEACHBUNNY975]

Simply incredibly. I wish this guy was my teacher.

[@jboog0407]

best video for embryology ever!
