Embryonic development is the period from implantation to about the eighth week after conception. During this time, the germ layers appear and become more organized to form the body's early structures. The nervous system also begins to develop. The four stages of embryonic development are: Fertilization: A complex, multi-step process that is complete in 24 hours. The sperm from a male meets an ovum from a female to form a zygote. Blastocyst development and implantation Embryo development Fetal development One of the most critical steps of development is gastrulation, which occurs...

Blastocyst development and implantation Embryo development Fetal development One of the most critical steps of development is gastrulation, which occurs during week 3 of human development. Gastrulation is when an embryo transforms from a one-dimensional layer of epithelial cells, a blastula, into a multilayered and multidimensional structure called the gastrula. Gastrulation generates the three primary germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. The phase of embryonic development that starts at the end of gastrulation and continues until birth is organogenesis. During organogenesis, the three germ layers form the internal organs of the organism. Show less
