Study Notes
Embryonic Period of Prenatal Development
- Extends from the beginning of the second week to the end of the eighth week.
- Marks a crucial phase in prenatal development characterized by significant changes and structures.
- Involves critical physiologic processes essential for the formation of structures and functions in the embryo.
- Patterning refers to specific spatial and temporal events that guide the development and organization of tissues and organs.
- Establishes foundational groundwork necessary for subsequent growth and maturation of the embryo.
