    The germinal stage of human development begins with fertilization in a Fallopian tube and ends with implantation in the uterus. It lasts 8-9 days and includes the fertilization of an ovum by a sperm to form a zygote, followed by cell divisions to form a morula and then a blastocyst. The germinal stage ends when the blastocyst implants in the endometrium of the uterus.

    The germinal stage of human
    development begins with
    fertilization in a Fallopian
    tube and ends with
    implantation in the uterus.
    The germinal stage of development is the first and shortest of the stages of the
    human lifespan. The main events in this stage of development are illustrated in
    Figure 23.2.2 and described in detail in the rest of this concept. The germinal
    stage lasts a total of eight to nine days. It begins in a Fallopian tube when an
    ovum is fertilized by a sperm to form a zygote (day 0). The germinal stage
    continues as the zygote undergoes several initial cell divisions to form a solid ball
    of cells called a morula (days 3-4). It then continues as the morula undergoes
    additional changes to become a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst (days 5-7).
    The germinal stage ends when the blastocyst implants in the endometrium of the
    uterus (days 8-9). After implantation occurs, the blastocyst is called an embryo,
    and it will soon obtain nutrients from the mother’s blood via a temporary organ
    called the placenta. In the germinal stage, however, nutrients must be obtained
    from cell cytoplasm or secretions in the Fallopian tube or uterus.

    This newborn baby is just starting out in life. They have their whole life ahead of
    them!

    Actually, that’s not really true. While most of their life is still ahead of them —
    including life stages of infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood — this
    newborn baby is not just starting out in life. They are already nine months old,
    and what happened to them during those nine months will help shape the rest of
    their life. Some of the shortest — but most important — life stages occur before
    birth. These stages include the germinal, embryonic, and fetal stages. This
    concept focuses on the earliest of all human life stages: the germinal stage.
    BLASTOCYST
    The inner layer of cells that
    develops later into the
    embryo.
    TROPOBLAST

    The outer layer of cells that


    develops also during the
    germinal period.
    EMBRYONIC
    PERIOD
    At this point, the mass of cells
    is now known as an embryo. The
    beginning of the third week after
    conception marks the start of
    the embryonic period, a time
    when the mass of cells becomes

    distinct as a human. The


    embryonic stage plays an
    important role in the
    development of the brain.

    ZYGOTE
    fertilized egg cell that results
    from the union of a female
    gamete (egg, or ovum) with a
    male gamete (sperm). In the
    embryonic development of
    humans and other animals, the
    zygote stage is brief and is
    followed by cleavage, when the
    single cell becomes subdivided
    into smaller cells.

    ENDODERM
    The inner layer of cells,
    develops into the digestive
    and respiratory systems.
    ECTODERM
    It is the outermost layer, and is superficial
    to the mesoderm (the middle layer) and
    endoderm (the innermost layer).[1] It
    emerges and originates from the outer
    layer of germ cells. The word ectoderm
    comes from the Greek ektos meaning
    "outside", and derma meaning "skin".
    MESODERM
    By the process of gastrulation, the
    embryo differentiates into three types of
    tissue: the ectoderm, producing the skin
    and nervous system; the mesoderm, from
    which develop connective tissues, the
    circulatory system, muscles, and bones;
    and the endoderm, which forms the
    digestive system, lungs, and urinary
    system.
    ORGANOGENESIS
    organogenesis, in embryology, the series
    of organized integrated processes that
    transforms an amorphous mass of cells
    into a complete organ in the developing
    embryo. The cells of an organ-forming
    region undergo differential development
    and movement to form an organ
    primordium, or anlage.
