Primal’s next-level learning module, 3D Real-time Embryology, is now even more powerful! We just added three new models to complete the set of 17 for the crucial weeks 3-8 of development. And with new instructional text for 300+ structures, there’s now more material than ever to deepen your understanding.
Embryology is integral to medicine, dentistry, nursing, and other health sciences, but it is one of the most complex subjects to grasp. Available learning resources add to this confusion — notably 2D textbooks — as they lack depiction of the intricate 3D developments which happen in the embryo.
To learn more about 3D Real-time Embryology or other Primal learning resources, please fill in the form here and our team will be in touch.
This is where 3D Real-time Embryology excels and unlocks the subject in a whole new way. Visualize development in 3D with clarity and ease, empower educators with confidence, and effectively engage students and boost achievement. (Watch our videos to see it in action.)
Created using real-life micro-CT images sourced from Amsterdam UMC, the 3D structures can be rotated and zoomed, dissected, examined, and labelled in our user interface.

New instructional text deepens understanding
Additional new features include:
-
- More embryo models – Carnegie development stages 14, 19, and 22 complete the full set of stages 7-23 for tracking developmental changes continuously and clearly.
- Structure text – Reviewed by four embryology experts, it includes details on:
- Formation - Which germ layers contribute and when in the timeline it develops
- Developmental processes - The key mechanisms shaping each structure
- Derivatives - The adult structures each embryo structure eventually forms
- Clinical application – Connecting embryology with congenital conditions
-
- Gallery scenes – Pre-loaded scenes that highlight the key structures for the development of each system, guiding self-study and teaching modules.
