EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT

EMBRYONIC

The embryonic period occurs from weeks 3 to 8, beginning after implantation. During this stage:

The inner cell mass develops into the embryo.
The trophoblast aids in forming the placenta and umbilical cord.

Major organ systems also begin to develop, including the heart, limbs, and nervous system. The brain and spinal cord (neural tube) begin forming around day 22 (Lumen Learning, n.d.). This stage is crucial, as disruptions can have long-lasting effects on development. For example:

Chromosomal abnormalities may lead to conditions such as Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome).
Exposure to harmful substances can cause teratogenic effects, such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

Week 3 to 8

Growth during this period follows two major patterns:

Cephalocaudal development: growth proceeds from the head downward.
Proximodistal development: growth proceeds from the center of the body outward.

By the end of the embryonic period, the embryo is about 1 inch long, weighs 8 grams, and can respond to touch, explaining early kicking sensations.
