What structure protects the embryo from injury and contains the amniotic fluid?

From which layer does the notochord form?

Which cells give rise to angiogenic cells and flatten to form the blood vessels?

Which layer accumulates fibrin at the end of the first week and forms the mountaine through blastocyst?

Which cells penetrate the uterine mucosa as implantation begins?

Embryonic Development

The process of formation and development of the embryo is called embryogenesis.

Gamete Development

A haploid cell that develops into an egg is called an oocyte.
The term for the process of formation of male and female gametes is gametogenesis.

Hormonal Regulation

The Corpus Luteum produces progesterone, which leads to the formation of the placenta.
The layer that produces progesterone and leads to the formation of the placenta is the syncytiotrophoblast.

Fertilization

The process of sperm entering the egg is called fertilization.

Menstrual Cycle

The first menstruation, when a mature egg is released from the ovary, is called menarche.

Blastocyst Development

The outermost layer of the blastocyst that later contributes to the placenta is the trophoblast.
The syncytiotrophoblast is the layer that accumulates fibrin at the end of the first week and forms the mound through blastocyst.

Implantation

As implantation begins in the uterine mucosa, the syncytiotrophoblast layer disappears.
The cells that penetrate the uterine mucosa as implantation begins are the trophoblastic cells.

Embryo Protection

The structure that protects the embryo from injury and contains the amniotic fluid is the amnion.

Notochord Formation

The notochord forms from the mesoderm layer.

Angiogenesis

The cells that give rise to angiogenic cells and flatten to form the blood vessels are the mesodermal cells.
