  2. Embryomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryomics

    Embryomics is the identification, characterization and study of the diverse cell types which arise during embryogenesis, especially as this relates to the location ...

  3. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    Human embryonic development covers the first eight weeks of development, which have 23 stages, called Carnegie stages. At the beginning of the ninth week, the embryo is termed a fetus (spelled "foetus" in British English). In comparison to the embryo, the fetus has more recognizable external features and a more complete set of developing organs.

  4. Recapitulation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recapitulation_theory

    The theory of recapitulation, also called the biogenetic law or embryological parallelism—often expressed using Ernst Haeckel's phrase "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny"—is a historical hypothesis that the development of the embryo of an animal, from fertilization to gestation or hatching (), goes through stages resembling or representing successive adult stages in the evolution of the ...

    1 - morula, 2 - blastula 1 - blastula, 2 - gastrula with blastopore; orange - ectoderm, red - endoderm. Embryology (from Greek ἔμβρυον, embryon, "the unborn, embryo"; and -λογία, -logia) is the branch of animal biology that studies the prenatal development of gametes (sex cells), fertilization, and development of embryos and fetuses.

  6. Carnegie stages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 extent between embryos.

  7. Embryo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryo

    An embryo is the initial stage of development for a multicellular organism.In organisms that reproduce sexually, embryonic development is the part of the life cycle that begins just after fertilization of the female egg cell by the male sperm cell.

  8. Phylotypic stage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylotypic_stage

    In embryology a phylotypic stage or phylotypic period is a particular developmental stage or developmental period during mid-embryogenesis where embryos of related species within a phylum express the highest degree of morphological and molecular resemblance.

  9. Organogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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] The endoderm of vertebrates produces tissue within the lungs, thyroid, and ...
