DEVELOPMENT OF PIG EMBRYO
10 mm PIG EMBRYO
• Excellent model for understanding early organogenesis of human embryo, as well as other mammalian species.
2 major differences:– External morphology: Length of tail – much
longer in pig– Internal morphology: development of kidney –
much greater in pig
10 mm Pig embryo
• Total gestation period in pig = 4 months
• 10 mm 20-21 days development
• 10 mm contains the rudiments of essentially all adult structure.
