PRENATAL

THISPERIODIS GENERALLY DIVIDED INTO THREE STAGES: THE

GERMINALSTAGE, THE EMBRYONICSTAGE, AND THE FETALSTAGE.
THE TWO-WEEKPERIODAFTER CONCEPTION IS CALLED THEGERMINAL STAGE.
CONCEPTION OCCURS WHEN A SPERM CELL COMBINES WITH AN EGG CELL TO
FORM A ZYGOTE. ABOUT THIRTY-SIX HOURS AFTER CONCEPTION, THE ZYGOTE
BEGINS TO DIVIDE QUICKLY. THE RESULTING BALL OF CELLS MOVES ALONG THE
MOTHER'S FALLOPIAN TUBE TO THE UTERUS.
THEEMBRYONIC STAGEOF GESTATION IS THEPERIODAFTER IMPLANTATION,
DURING WHICH ALL OF THE MAJOR ORGANS AND STRUCTURES WITHIN THE
GROWING MAMMAL ARE FORMED.
THISSTAGEIS CHARACTERIZED BY THE EXPONENTIAL GROWTH OF THE EMBRYO,
NOW CALLED AFETUS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF FULLY DIFFERENTIATED
ORGANS AND TISSUES.
