GlossaryEmbryogenesis

process where a fertilized egg develops into an embryo

Embryogenesis, also known as embryonic development, is the process by which a fertilized egg (zygote) develops into a fully formed embryo. This complex process involves cell division, differentiation, and morphogenesis, where cells specialize and organize into tissues and organs. It is a critical phase in prenatal development, laying the foundation for all the body's structures and systems.
