Forewords
Excellent oneI have gone through the book and found that the author has been succeeded in presenting the essential elements of embryology in an excellent manner. The elements served here are authentic. I hope that this humble presentation will serve its purposes well. My best wishes go to the author.
Really charmed to find the simplicityI have gone through the book Fetus by Dr. Abedur Rahman with interest & have been really charmed to find the simplicity of its presentation & diagrams which depict the wide subject of embryology into the small space of this handy volume. Student can peep into the memory of the whole aspect of embryology through this book instantaneously and comfortably even at rest or in leisure like the cow which enjoys the taste of food by cutting its jaw while at rest.
I wish the promising young author & his book a glorious success in the days to come.

AUTHOR’S SAYINGS

“The history of man for nine months preceding his birth would, probably, be far more interesting, and contain events of greater moment than all three score and ten years that follow it.”
--- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It is now well proved that ‘Fetus’ is the most read embryology book in our country. The last 15 editions of the book have proven that it is unique in its field. In this edition, I have tried my best to make it more useful for the students making necessary changes elsewhere.
New to this edition- Development of different organs at a glance Answers of all first professional SAQ Some new information Some figures and information are modified.
All praises for the Almighty. Thanks to all the anatomy teachers and students – past, present, and future.

3Some Basic Concepts in Embryology
He that useth many words for the explaining of any subject, doth like the cuttle-fish hide himself---- in his own ink. John Ray (A naturalist of the 17th century)
Differentiation
It means formation of new type of cells or tissues. The differences of the cells or tissues that are formed is irreversible to those from which they areformed. For example, from the cells of the mesoderm bones develop or more clearly from the fertilized ovum the whole tissues or cells of the body develop. [see Gray. 37th P-107)
Self and dependent differentiation (DU, Regular-81)Differentiation in which the fates of the earlier cells or tissues have been determined is called self differentiation. The differentiation in which the earlier cells or tissues suffer a stepwise restriction in their possible fates is called dependent differentiation. In the former, as the name suggests, a fragment (of developing tissue) when transplanted to an apparently indifferent region of the blastula or more critically into salt solution, proceeded to develop into the tissues it would have formed if undisturbed. Regions with dependent differentiation, however, it transplanted early, failed to continue development and only did so if combined with some neighboring mass of cells. If such a region, which at an early stage showed dependent

differentiation, was not transplanted until a later stage, it was often found to have become self-differentiating. [Gray]
TotipotentAn embryonic cell capable of differentiating into a large variety of cells is called totipotent. The fertilized ovum has this ability [Taber’s]. Totipotent character may be retained upto 8 cell state of cleavage division of the zygote. (Datta) .
Pluripotent Following repeated cleavage division of the zygote, the cells of morula lose the totipotent character but are succeeded by a plastic phase with reduced potencies. Plastic phase is denoted by pluripotent character of cells in which groups of cells produce specific type of tissue. [Datta] Thus, an embryonic cell that can differentiate into different (several) kinds of cell is called pluripotent. [Taber’s]
Organiser and Induction Plastic phase of differentiation is followed by a phase of chemo-differentiation. Chemo-differentiation is probably a physio-chemical process and appears first in the cells of the dorsal lip of blastopore which corresponds with the primitive streak of higher vertebrates. These localized areas of the embryo induce directly tissue differentiation by liberating some chemical substances and are known as Organiser or inductor. By definition, “Embryonic tissues which have the organising capacity to differentiate neighboring tissues are called organiser or inductor and the process of such differentiation is called induction.”
The dorsal lip of the blastopore or primitive streak acts as primary organiser and induces the development of notochord and secondary mesoderm. Notochord in turn acts as a secondary organiser and induces the development of brain and spinal cord from the overlying neuro-ectodermal plate. The neural tube (comes from this plate to form brain & spinal cord) again acts as a tertiary organiser and gives rise to somite formation of paraxial mesoderm. In this way, the entire embryonic area is mapped out into various individuation fields’. [Datta, 3rd, P-5, Singh 5th P.-382]
Stem CellStem cells are commonly defined as undifferentiated cells. They have the ability to differentiate into virtually all kinds of cell types, a capacity that becomes progressively restricted with development. As shown in Figure below, they have two important characteristics that distinguish them from other types of cells. First, as unspecialized cells, they can proliferate and renew themselves for long
periods through cell division. The second is that under certain physiologic or experimental conditions, they
can be induced to become cells with special functions. As the matter of fact, they provide a theoretically inexhaustible supply of cells that, depending on type can give rise to some or all body tissues.

Figure: Definition of a stem cell. Stem cells are typically found in the embryo and fetus. In the adult body, they have been identified in various tissue niches, including bone marrow, brain, liver, and skin, as well as in the circulation. They have been termed "adult stem cells".
Embryonic stem cells (ESC)
Pluripotent murine (murine = pertaining to, derived from, or characteristic of mice or rats) stem cells are derived from two main embryonic sources: ESC from the blastocyst and embryonic germ (EG) cells from the gonadal ridge of the embryo after gastrulation. The successful derivation of murine ESC from the inner cell mass of mouse blastocytes was achieved in 1981 (Martin, 1981), while embryonic germ (EG) cells have been isolated and cultured from primordial germ cells (Stewart et al., 1994).
Integration It is the process by which different tissues are brought together and combined to form organs. [Ref. Embryology by Cragmyle]
Primordium It means cellular beginning of a future tissue, organ or part For example, arm bud is the primordium of arm. [Ref. Aids to Embryology by Samit publ.]
ReplicationThe process of duplication of genetic material is called replication.
Terms of position In embryology, the terms dorsal and ventral are used to describe the back and front of the body respectively

In embryology the terms cranial (cephalic) and caudal are used to denote relationships to the head and tail, respectively.
