Development of the Nervous System, Head, and Neck

by Peter Ward, PhD
(5)

Learn more about the formation of the nervous system, including the development of the neural tube and the neural crest cells as well as the ventricular system. Another important topic will be the spinal cord and brainstem development. Peter Ward will also tell you more about the most common malformations of the cerebral development and the eye and ear development.

This online course follows with the growth and ossification of the skull. Learn more about the development of the sutures and the fontanelles as well as the malformations in skull development.

Furthermore, get introduced to tongue and thyroid gland development. Learn more about the formation of the pharyngeal grooves and pouches. You will also get insights in the development of the face and palate.

great content !
By Omar M. on 11. July 2018 for Pharyngeal Arches

Lecturio should open their own medical school in the Caribbean and people could actually learn down there ! keep it up !

 
Recommendation
By Maria Teresa S. on 06. July 2018 for Development of the Nervous System, Head, and Neck

They are great but it would be better if explained some of the cellular development behaviors involved

 
is too obvious the prompter reading
By Pedro F. on 03. May 2018 for Development of Spinal Cord and Brainstem

Seems a little bit robotic... is not a natural lecture... is too obvious the prompter reading
