    3 Fetal Development

    The document summarizes the three main stages of fetal development: 1. The pre-embryonic stage begins at fertilization and lasts until the end of the second week as the zygote undergoes cell division and implants in the uterus. 2. During the embryonic stage from weeks 3 to 8, the embryo develops three germ layers that differentiate into tissues and organ systems. 3. The fetal stage begins at week 9 through birth as the fetus continues to grow and organs mature.

    FETAL DEVELOPMENT

    Pre-embryonic stage
    Embroyonic stage
    Fetal stage
    Developmental stages of pregnancy
    a. Pre-embroyonic.
     Fertilization
     Cellular reproduction or division
     Implantation
    b.Embroyonic.
    • Ectoderm
    • Mesoderm
    • endoderm
    c. Fetal.
    Pre-
    embroyonic
    It begins at fertilization
    and lasts through the end
    of the second week after
    fertilization.

    a) Fertilization: sperm
    penetrates the egg cell.

    b) Cellular division or
    reproduction.

    c) Implantation.
    Pre-
    embroyonic

    Cellular reproduction.

    The zygote begins the


    process of mitotic division
    called CLEAVAGE.

    Cleavage: The zygote


    transforms into 2 cell,
    then further divides into
    4 then each cell divides
    into 8 cells and son on.
    Each cell contains 46
    chromosomes.

    Pre-
    embroyonic

    Implantation: The
    blastocyst is
    completely buried in
    the uterine lining on
    the 10th day.
    Embroyonic
    Stage

    The developing conceptus


    is called EMBRYO.

    During this stage, the


    cells multiply and tissues
    begin to assume specific
    functions, a process
    called
    DIFFERENTIATION. It
    is during differentiation
    that tissues form organs
    and organ system.
    Embroyonic
    Stage

    3rd week: 3 germ


    layers develop in the
    embryo.

    a. Ectoderm.
    b. Mesoderm.
    c. Endoderm.
    Ectoderm, Mesoderm, Endoderm
    Germ layer Structure formation

    Skin, nervous system, nasal passages, crystalline lens of


    Ectoderm the eye, pharynx, mammary glands, salivary glands.

    Muscles, circulatory system, bones, reproductive system,


    Mesoderm connective tissue, kidneys, ureters.

    Alimentary tract, respiratory tract, bladder, pancreas,


    Endoderm liver.
    FETAL STAGE
    ◦ It is from the beginning of the 9th week after fertilization and
    continues at birth.
    ◦ The developing human is called FETUS.
    ◦ There is additional growth and maturation of the organs and body
    systems.

    Ectopic
    pregnancy

    It occurs when the


    zygote is implanted
    outside the uterus.
    Multifetal
    pregnancy

    Monozygotic: It
    derived from 1
    zygote (one egg and
    1 sperm divided into
    2 zygotes). They
    share same genetic
    material, thus, there
    sex is always the
    same.

    Multifetal
    pregnancy

    Dizygotic or fraternal:
    May or may not of the same
    gender and their genetic
    material is not identical.
