MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Describe the process of human development from fertilization to birth and major changes that occur in each trimester of pregnancy
Fertilization → ZYGOTE (fertilized egg) → MORULA (solid ball of cells) → BLASTOCYST (hallow ball of cells that implants in the uterus→ GASTRULA (three layers)→ EMBRYO (up to eight weeks) →FETUS
After eight weeks of development, the embryo is called a fetus.
As the embryo develops, specialized membranes form to nourish and protect the embryo. The embryo is surrounded by the amnion, a sac filled with amniotic fluid that cushions and protects the developing embryo.
The placenta is the connection between the mother and embryo and acts as the embryo's organ of respiration, nourishment, and excretion
