Abstract
In a conventional embryology laboratory, standard serial sections of the transverse section of 10 mm. pig embryo were used as models to study heart development as 10 mm. pig embryo can depict all details necessary for such study. Due to the difficulty in obtaining pig embryo for slide preparation, the author tried to study such development with mammals wich were easily available. Rats which can be bred in lab or satory to obtain any desired serial sections were also studied. The results of the study of serials of 6 mm. rat embryo at the heart level showed that all detalis necessary can be discernible. In addition, there were a less number of sections to cover the heart area proving that pig embryo can be substituted by rat embryo in embryology studies.
