Lockdown Embryology with Prof Alice Roberts #9: Abdominal Organs

Focusing on the stomach, liver, spleen and pancreas: the stomach grows like a banana and rotates on its axis to trap a pocket of peritoneal cavity behind it; membranes stretch, the liver buds and grows into a biliary tree; the two pancreatic buds fuse.

LOVE these lessons! They sure make me realize how woefully inadequate my humanist degrees are!

Cannot explain how incredibly helpful your videos have been for my exam prep. Although, I wish in your titles you mentioned the organ/systems before the name of your series. Simple because, I'm sure most medical students like myself just look at the first few words describing the video to check it's relevant. I had to go through a bit of scolling and searching to find the right embryo videos on your channel. Other than that, your videos are very succint and easy to understand!

More Roberts ASMR ...nice, I’ll be unconscious in 15

Edit: now I can’t sleep, why does the digestive system rotate clockwise?
