The relations of the fetal membranes to the embryo arc much the same as in the chick embryo of five days, save that the allantois of the human embryo is embedded in the body-stalk. The embryo shows a regular convex dorsal curvature, there is a marked cephalic bend in the region of the mid-brain and there are three gill clefts. The head is twisted to the right, the tail to the.
