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.
