Conception includes
A. Fertilization
B. Pre-Embryonic period
C. Embryonic period
D. Fetal period
![Page 3: Embryo and Fetal Development](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042513/553db9864a795932248b47ac/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A. Fertilization
Fertilization occurs when one sperm enters
the ovum and the two nuclei containing the
parents’ chromosomes merge
i) Entry of one spermatozoon into the ovum ii) Fusion of the Nuclei of sperm and ovum

B. Pre-Embryonic Period
The Pre-Embryonic Period is the First 2
weeks after conception
It consist of Initiation of cell division, Entry
of the zygote into the uterus, Implantation
in the decidua, Maintaining the decidua,
Location and Implantation and Mechanism
of Implantation

C. Embryonic Period
Beginning of 3rd week through 8th week after conception
Basic structures of all major body organs are completed during embryonic period

CNS begins developing 3rd week
Thickened flat neural plate appears, extends toward end of Embryonic disk- becomes Head
Heart develops as a pair of parallel tubes and joins together
Primitive heart begins beating at 21-22 days
Primitive blood cells arise from the endoderm lining the distal blood vessels
![Page 12: Embryo and Fetal Development](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042513/553db9864a795932248b47ac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fourth WeekThe shape of the Embryo changes
It folds at the Head and Tail end and laterally. Remains in C- shape
Tail is apparent because brain and spinal cord develop more rapidly than other systems
Neural tube closed by 4th week. If not Anencephaly and Spinabifida results
contd…

Formation of Face and U.R.T begins
Beginnings of internal ear and Eye apparent
Upper extremities appear as buds on the lateral body walls
Heart partition into four chambers completed by 6th week
L.R.T begins as a branch of upper digestive tract
Esophagus and trachea separate completely
Trachea branches to right and left bronchi &
Then forms Lobs, Alveoli rich capillary network that allows o2 &Co2 at birth

Week 13 - 16
Rapid growth in length, so head becomes smaller in proportion to the total length
Strengthened Quickening mother able to find if it is 2nd gravida Resembles human face due to eyes face forward

Weeks 17 - 20Fetal movements like “Fluttering” or “Butterflies”Evident changes in skin and hairVernix Caseosa – protect from constant exposure to Amniotic fluidLanugo – help the vernix to adhere to the skinEye brows and head hair appearsBrown Fat – back of neck, behind sternum & around kidneys
![Page 29: Embryo and Fetal Development](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042513/553db9864a795932248b47ac/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Weeks 21 - 24
Growth continues & gaining weight but thin & little subcutaneous fatTranslucent skin & looks red Because capillaries are close to its fragile surfaceLungs produce surfactantCapillary network of alveoli increased but it is immature. although some gas exchange is possible 22 to 25 weeks fetus may survive with Intensive care
![Page 31: Embryo and Fetal Development](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042513/553db9864a795932248b47ac/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Weeks 25 - 28
More likely to survive if born after 24 wks Because of maturation of lungs, pulmonary capillaries & CNS
Subcutaneous fat deposition make fetus plumper & smoother- skinned
Skin becomes less red
Re-opening of eyes, abundant head hair
contd…
![Page 33: Embryo and Fetal Development](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042513/553db9864a795932248b47ac/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Blood formation shifts from spleen to bone marrow
Fetus assumes head-down position for 2 reasons
* Uterus is like inverted egg.
* Fetal head is heavier than feet
![Page 34: Embryo and Fetal Development](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042513/553db9864a795932248b47ac/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Until birth growth continues but rate slows as full term approaches.
Gaining weight
Matured pulmonary system enables efficient & unlabored breath after birth
Well-nourished term fetus is round with abundant subcutaneous fat
Lanugo in forehead, upper back, upper arms contd…
