My teacher discussed several topics in the video discussion.

The first one is the STAGES DURING

PREGNANCY. Prenatal has 3 stages or phases, the first one is the Germinal Period. In this period, the so
called “zygote” is formed. The zygote is the result of the fertilization when the egg and sperm cell unite.
The germinal period only happens from the moment of fertilization of the egg until fourteen days. The
zygote is considered as a single cell until it undergoes cell division within twenty-four hours and became
two-celled and another cell division for thirty-six hours and another cell division for another hours. When
it reached the 7th day, the single cell will be called the mass of cell because it became many cells due to
multiple cell division that occurred. This mass of cell is called the blastocyst. This blastocyst has three
parts; the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The ectoderm is the one that is responsible for the outer
skin and nervous system of the baby. The mesoderm is the one responsible for the muscles and skeletal
system; and endoderm for the digestive system and respiratory system.
