About Carnegie Stage 20
Most embryos at stage 20 are approximately 50-51 postovulatory days old and measure 21-23 mm in length. Distinguishing criteria for this stage include upper limbs slightly bent at the elbows, short stubby fingers, hands curving over the cardiac region but still far apart from each other, and a fringe-like vascular plexus that marks growth centers laterally in the superficial tissues of the head.
