Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary germ layers are the three layers of specialized cells that give rise to definite structures as the embryo develops.

Answer: E
 Organogenesis is the process of organ formation that occurs during the development of an organism.

Answer: L
 Embryology is the study of the development of embryos from fertilization to birth.

Answer: H
 A morula is a solid ball of cells that forms after fertilization and before the blastocyst stage.

Answer: N
 Fertilization is the fusion of a sperm and egg to form a zygote.

Answer: F
 A blastocyst is a stage of embryonic development that occurs about 5 days after fertilization.

Answer: M
 Implantation is the process by which the blastocyst attaches to the uterine wall and becomes embedded in the lining.

Answer: G
 Gestation is the period of time during which a developing embryo or fetus is carried inside the female reproductive tract.

Answer: K
 Histogenesis is the process of tissue formation that occurs during embryonic development.

Answer: C
 A neonate is a newborn baby, typically within the first 4 weeks of life.

Answer: D
 A zygote is a fertilized egg, resulting from the fusion of a sperm and egg.

Answer: A
 Parturition is the process of giving birth.

Answer: B
 Chorion is the outermost fetal membrane that surrounds the developing embryo/fetus and helps form the placenta.

Answer: I
 Senescence is the process of aging and deterioration that occurs over time, resulting in a decreased ability to function properly. It is not directly related to embryonic development.
