Embryonic development

is also called as embryogenesis is the

process by which the embryo forms and
develops.
Embryonic development stages;

• Fertilization
• Blastula
• Gastrula
• Organogenesis
Embryonic development stages;

Fertilization
the process of a single sperm cell
combining with single egg cell to form a
zygote.
Embryonic development stages;

Blastula
also known as cleavage, it is
rapid,multiple rounds of mitotic cell
division where are the overall size of
the embryo does not increase.
Embryonic development stages;

Gastrula

the dramatic development

rearrangement of cells in the
blastula to creaste embryonic tissue
layers.
Three germ layers;

• Endoderm- inner most germ layer of the embryo.

• Mesoderm or middle germ -form the blood,heart,
kidney,muscles and connective tissue.
• Ectoderm or outermost layer - the developing
embryo forms epidermis, the brain, and the
nervous system.
Embryonic development stages

Organogenesis
the process of organ and the tissue
formation via cell division and
differentiation.
