Embryogenesis
Embryogenesis
Process by which a fertilized egg develops into a fully formed organism. It involves stages like fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, and organogenesis.
Gastrulation
Gastrulation
The stage where the embryo forms three primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. These layers will later develop into all body tissues and organs.
Neurulation
Neurulation
The process where the neural plate folds to form the neural tube, which later develops into the brain and spinal cord.

Study Notes
Embryogenesis
- Process by which a fertilized egg develops into a fully formed organism
- Involves fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, and organogenesis
Gastrulation
- Embryo forms three primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm
- These layers develop into body tissues and organs
Neurulation
- Neural plate folds to form the neural tube
- Neural tube develops into the brain and spinal cord
Amniotic Cavity
- Fluid-filled space surrounding the developing embryo
- Provides protection and support
Blastula
- Hollow ball of cells formed during early embryonic development
- Follow the morula stage
Cleavage
- Series of rapid cell divisions after fertilization
- Results in a cluster of cells known as the blastocyst
Ectoderm
- Outermost germ layer
- Forms skin, nervous system, and sensory organs
Embryoblast
- Inner cell mass of the blastocyst
- Develops into the embryo
Embryonic Disc
- Flat, bilayered structure from the embryoblast
- Gives rise to ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm
Endoderm
- Innermost germ layer
- Forms the digestive system, lungs, other internal organs
Epiblast
- Upper layer of the embryonic disc
- Forms ectoderm and mesoderm
Fertilization
- Sperm cell and egg cell combine to form a zygote
- Initiates embryonic development
Gametes
- Reproductive cells (sperm and egg)
Hypoblast
- Lower layer of cells in the early embryo
- Contributes to formation of extraembryonic tissues
Intermediate Mesoderm
- Region of mesoderm
- Gives rise to structures like kidneys and reproductive system
Lateral Plate Mesoderm
- Part of the mesoderm
- Forms heart, blood vessels, and parts of limbs
Mesoderm
- Middle germ layer
- Develops into muscles, bones, circulatory system
Morula
- Ball of about 16 cells formed after the zygote divides
- Enters the uterus 3 days after fertilization
Neural Crest Cells
- Migrate from the developing neural tube to form peripheral nerves and facial bones
Notochord
- Rod-like structure forming the basis for the vertebral column
- Signals the development of surrounding tissues
Occipital Somites
- Segmented blocks of mesoderm near the head
- Contribute to muscle and vertebrae development (neck)
Paraxial Mesoderm
- Mesodermal layer alongside the neural tube
- Forms somites (muscles, bones, skin)
Primitive Node
- Cluster of cells at anterior end of primitive streak
- Involved in notochord formation and body axis patterning
Primitive Streak
- Linear structure in early development
- Establishes body's left-right and anterior-posterior axes
Trophoblast
- Outer layer of cells in the blastocyst
- Implants into uterine wall; forms part of placenta
Yolk Sac
- Extraembryonic structure providing early nourishment
- Involved in blood cell formation
Blastocyst
- Fluid-filled cavity in the morula
- Separates cells into trophoblast and inner cell mass
Zona Pellucida
- Glycoprotein layer surrounding the egg
- Disappears during uterine implantation
Endometrial Lining
- Lining of the uterus; blastocyst implants
Stomodeum/Stomatodeum
- Depression in the ectoderm for mouth formation
Chorion
- Outermost membrane surrounding the developing embryo; forms placenta
Mandible
- Lower jawbone; crucial for facial development
Pharynx
- Throat region; forms mouth and respiratory system
Groove
- Depression or indentation in a structure
- Involved in tissue or organ formation
Cheeks
- Parts of the face beside the mouth; involved in facial development
Primitive Cells/Primitive Streak
- Early stages of embryo development
Pharyngeal Arches
- Tissue bands for early development;
- Give rise to head and neck structures (jaws, ears, throat)
Cheiloschisis (Cleft Lip)
- Condition where upper or lower lip does not form properly
Micrognathia

Macrognathia
- Abnormally large jaw
Agnathia
