What class exposes you to embryology?

In undergrad, besides taking an upper level class dedicated solely to embryology, is there a course that gives a basic overview of embryology sufficient for the MCAT?

Would it be covered in a course like anatomy and physiology or something?

developmental bio covers some of it but not in-depth

Here is a suggestion:

For the MCAT, we do not really need to know the details of embryology. Usually, in those advanced classes of Developmental Biology or Embryology, they start the semester off with a brief overview of the whole subject.

Since the spring semester has just started, I would suggest you find out any Developmental Bio or Embryo class that is taught on your campus, and just sit in for the first 1 or 2 lectures. If the class is too big, you may not even have to tell the prof that you are gaining the free wisdom. If the class is too big, you may want to tell the prof your situation, and he or she would be happy to have you.

Yahoo Answers covers it in pretty good detail
