The length of the humerus in human embryos at developmental stages 18-23
Folia Morphol 2006;65(2):136-139.
Abstract
The length of the humerus was measured in 69 staged human embryos at developmental
stages 18-23 (7 and 8 weeks). It was found that the length of the
humerus increases from 2.0 mm at stage 18 to 5.4 mm at stage 23. There were
slight variations at certain of the stages investigated. Asymmetry between limb
lengths was not found during the embryonic period under examination.
