Stage 2
Zygote Morula Early blastocyst
Stage 3
Late blastocyst
The Organogenic Period Week 4 – 8
The major external and internal structures are established

The Organogenic Period Median Plane Folding
The Head Fold Brain: Primordium Developing forebrain grows
beyond oropharyngeal membrane Heart: Ventral move – septum transversum,
primordial heart, pericardial coelom, oropharyngeal membrane
Foregut: Primordium of pharynx, esophagus… - lie between the brain and heart – develops into the central tendon of the diaphragm
Embryonic coelom – Primordium of body cavities
The Organogenic Period Medial Plane Folding
Tail fold Growth of the distal part of the neural tube –
primordium of the spinal cord Caudal eminence projects over the claucal membrane Part of the endodermal germ layer is incorporated into
the embryo to become the hindgut – primordium of descending colon
Terminal part of cloaca dilates – primordium of urinary bladder and rectum
The Organogenic Period Horisontal Plane Folding
The Tail Fold Right and left lateral folds Produced by the rapidly growing spinal cord and
somites Midgut: Primordium of small intestine – part of
the endoderm germ layer is incorporated into the embryo
Initial wide connection between the midgut and yolk sac
The Organogenic Period Horisontal Plane Folding
The Tail Fold After folding – connection reduced Reduce communication between intra- and
extraembryonic coelomic cavities
