Abstract
Embryology is that part of biology which is concerned with the formation and development of the embryo from fertilization until birth. Development of the embryo is a sequential process and follows a ground plan, which is usually laid down very early in gestation. In humans for example it is set up roughly by the 5th week. The book by Slack (1983) is a readable account of the early stages of development from egg to embryo.
