| Description | This is a relatively detailed FlashTM animation of the neurulating embryo. Beginning with a dorsal view of the bilaminar germ disc, the primitive streak elongates and regresses as somites form and the neural tube invaginates and closes. The disc then turns to a lateral view of the embryo to demonstrate the rapid expansion of the central neural tissue. In the last frame users can pass the cursor of the forty somite embryo to display the underlying vesicles of the internal central nervous system. | |||
