This course is designed to provide the students with clear understanding of various topics of general embryology as well as systemic embryology. Human development is discussed right from basic concepts of fertility, the details of the fertilization process, implantation of the zygote in the uterus and its subsequent development into a bilaminar and trilaminar germ discs. A general overview of the fetal development and its major milestones is also learnt. The course also provides detailed understanding of the development of each body system and associated anomalies and conditions associated with each system. The course also provides sufficient understanding of clinical embryology topics such as infertility, contraception, teratogenesis and prenatal diagnosis.

1. Gametogenesis, contraception, fertilization, implantation, embryonic disc
development, and development of extraembryonic tissues in addition to
development of the placenta.
2. Folding of the embryo, organogenesis, teratogenesis and prenatal diagnosis.

3. Systemic embryology i.e., specific embryology of each of the body systems.

1.  Explain the processes of gametogenesis, contraception, fertilization, implantation, embryonic disc development, and development of extraembryonic tissues in addition to development of the placenta.Describe the folding of the embryo, organogenesis, teratogenesis and prenatal diagnosis.
2. Describe systemic embryology i.e., specific embryology of each of the body systems.
3. Relate various congenital anomalies to the responsible genetic, or teratogenic factor.
4. Demonstrate ability to carry out a minor research based project
5. Communicate with other collogues and work effectively in groups
6. Use information and communication technology effectively in the field of medical sciences
7. Demonstrate the ability to apply ethical principles and professional behavior in decision-making
