    Study Notes

    Embryology

    • The study of the development of an organism from a single fertilized egg cell to a complex, multicellular organism.

    Embryonic Development

    • Begins at the moment of fertilization, when a sperm cell unites with an egg cell.

    Cell Division and Differentiation

    • Crucial during the early stages of embryonic development.

    Blastocyst

    • A hollow ball of cells that forms during the early stages of embryonic development.
    • Contains an inner cell mass, which will form the embryo.

    Gastrulation

    • A complex process that marks the beginning of the formation of the three germ layers, which will give rise to all the tissues and organs of the body.
