Human Embryology: Development and Anatomy

This lecture introduces the importance of human embryology for careers in biology, medicine, and health sciences. It covers the normal and abnormal development of human embryos, including the formation of body walls, midgut, and coelom. Specific topics include the development of the liver, stomach, and intestines, as well as the formation of ventral and dorsal mesenteries. The lecture also discusses the anatomical relationships of intraperitoneal and retroperitoneal viscera, emphasizing the structures connecting the liver to the rest of the body. Key concepts such as the lesser and greater omentum, hepatic diverticulum, and vitelline duct are explained in detail.
