  2. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    Human embryonic development or human embryogenesis is the development and formation of the human embryo. It is characterised by the processes of cell division and cellular differentiation of the embryo that occurs during the early stages of development. In biological terms, the development of the human body entails growth from a one-celled ...

  3. Carnegie stages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_stages

    Carnegie stages. In embryology, Carnegie stages are a standardized system of 23 stages used to provide a unified developmental chronology of the vertebrate embryo. The stages are delineated through the development of structures, not by size or the number of days of development, and so the chronology can vary between species, and to a certain ...

  4. Development of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_human_body

    Development before birth, or prenatal development (from Latin natalis 'relating to birth') is the process in which a zygote, and later an embryo, and then a fetus develops during gestation. Prenatal development starts with fertilization and the formation of the zygote , the first stage in embryonic development which continues in fetal ...

  5. Development of the reproductive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the...

    The development of the reproductive system is the part of embryonic growth that results in the sex organs and contributes to sexual differentiation. Due to its large overlap with development of the urinary system, the two systems are typically described together as the genitourinary system. The reproductive organs develop from the intermediate ...

  6. Embryomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryomics

    The embryo map is a sequence of 3-D images, or slices of 3-D images, of the developing embryo which, if viewed rapidly in temporal order, forms a time-lapse view of the growing embryo. The embryogenic tree is a diagram which shows the temporal development of each of the cell lines in the embryo. When drawn on a piece of paper, this diagram ...

  7. Organogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organogenesis

    Organogenesis. Organogenesis is the phase of embryonic development that starts at the end of gastrulation and continues until birth. During organogenesis, the three germ layers formed from gastrulation (the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm) form the internal organs of the organism. [1]

  8. Timeline of human prenatal development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_prenatal...

    Gestational age: 3 weeks and 0 days until 3 weeks and 6 days old. 22–28 days from last menstruation. Embryonic age: Week nr 2. 1 week old. 8–14 days from fertilization. Trophoblast cells surrounding the embryonic cells proliferate and invade deeper into the uterine lining. They will eventually form the placenta and embryonic membranes.

  9. Human fertilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_fertilization

    Human growthand development. Human fertilization is the union of an egg and sperm, occurring primarily in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. [1] The result of this union leads to the production of a fertilized egg called a zygote, initiating embryonic development. Scientists discovered the dynamics of human fertilization in the 19th century.
