Reproductive and embryological principles. The course describes the steps required for fertilization of an egg and organogenesis of male and female reproductive systems. Lectures focus on early fetal development, the impact of genetic and environmental factors influencing early embryogenesis, and organogenesis of each major human organ system. The laboratories involve the microscopic study of tissue histology to strengthen the understanding of tissue and organ function.
