implantation
btwn 7-9th days, blastocyst burrows into uterine lining
amnion
forms from trophoblast, contains fluid that fusions and keeps temp right, 30% die by now
blastocyst
4th day forms hollow fluid filled ball
embroynic disk
inner layer of blastocyst, becomes organism
zygote

chorion
surrounds amnion, villi and blood vessels emerge from it
ectoderm
nervous system and skin, embryonic period
mesoderm
muscles, skeleton, ciriculatorysystem, organs, embryonic period
endoderm
digestive system, lungs, kidney, glands, urinary tract
fetus period
9wk to birth, growth and finishing phase, lungs last
Fetus third month
kicks, lungs expand and contract, body becomes connected and organized
second trimester
organs are well developed by 20 weeks, most brain neurons in place
third trimester
22-26 weeks = viability, fetus gets personality
vernix
cheese like skin protection
languo
downy hair appears over body keeps vernix stuck
