Study Notes
Human Embryology Development Stages
- Cleavage follows fertilization; it involves rapid cell division without growth, resulting in a multicellular structure called a blastocyst.
Formation of Germ Layers
- Gastrulation is the major process that occurs during the formation of the three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) in the developing embryo.
Ectoderm Development
- The ectoderm primarily develops into the nervous system, skin, and sensory organs. It also forms structures such as hair and nails.
Implantation Stage
- The implantation of the embryo into the uterine wall occurs during the blastocyst stage, approximately 6-10 days after fertilization.
Last Event in Early Development
- The last event in early embryonic development is the completion of organogenesis, the process where the three germ layers differentiate into various organs and systems.
