Embryology Mouse

The early period of development of the embryo of the mouse is largely comparable to that of human (see table here below). Therefore, in the study of Bio-Sciences in Nijmegen microscopic series of different developmental stages of the mouse are used to illustrate the early embryonic development of man.
