Development of the Embryo

Year Published: 1976

Creator: Moreland-Latchford Films

Description: Moreland-Latchford Films. Diagram-heavy introduction to the reproductive nuts and bolts. From the series "Family Living and Sex Education." "Canadian Sex Ed: Development of the Embryo" explains the stages of embryonic development from a fertilized egg. It describes how embryos initially resemble one another, regardless of species, and outlines the differentiation of cells into three distinct layers, each responsible for forming specific body systems. The inner layer creates the digestive and respiratory systems, the middle layer forms the skeletal and muscular systems, and the outer layer develops the skin and nervous system. The video emphasizes the roles of body cells in growth and repair, contrasting them with reproductive cells that are solely involved in creating new life. Home transfer from 16mm original.
