Abstract

Clinical assessment of anatomy and physiology of placental and early embryonic development was impro-ved in last couple of years by introducing high frequency vaginal transducers as well as three and four dimensional sonography. Usage of new techniques has produced more objective and accurate information of embryonal and early fetal development. For the first time parallel analyses of structural and functional parameters in the first 12 weeks of gestation become possible. This article deals with establishment of human life from ovum and sperm, though fertilisation, detailed histological development and the establishment of the placenta, and early human development visualized by 2- and 3-di¬mensional ultrasonography.
