Computer graphic three-dimensional reconstruction of normal human embryo morphogenesis.
Three-dimensional computer graphic reconstructions of four human embryos at Carnegie stages 11 to 23 portray the relationships and dimensions of individual organ systems. This paper illustrates the cranial, neural, pharyngeal, gut, vascular and nephric architecture in these developing embryos. This technology can be applied to in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry to map zones and times of developmental gene activity.
