EMBRYONIC AND FETAL
DEVELOPMENT
EMBRYOGENESIS
 EMBRYOGENESIS
-is a complicated process by which a fertilized egg is
developed into an EMBRYO.


happens from the FIRST TRIMESTER of the nine
months of human development that extends from
fertilization to the end of the third month
ZYGOTE
CLEAVAGE
CLEAVAGE
- where the zygote divides to produce a
cluster of cells known as the morula.
EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT

The cell number increases but

the cell size doesn’t change.
EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT
BLASTOCYST
A blastocyst forms about five to six
days after a sperm fertilizes an egg.
Layers of cells in the blastocyst divide
and separate. They eventually become
the structures that protect and nourish
the developing fetus.
Fetus at 5 weeks
~ around 2mm long (about the
size of a sesame seed

~ baby’s brain and spinal cord

are forming rapidly
Fetus at 10 weeks
~ around 30mm long from
head to bottom

~ baby is going through

another huge growth of
spurt.
Fetus at 20 weeks
~ about 16 cm from head to
bottom and weighs about 320
gm

~ heart is beating at 120-160

beats per minute
Fetus at 40 weeks
~ may be around 500 mm
long and weigh 6.5 pounds or
more

~ the baby is now fully

grown and prepared for birth
