organs (Organo = organs, genesis = creation) Arises from the layering of cells that occurs during gastrula stage The layers are germ layers; they have specific fates in the developing embryo:
Endoderm
The innermost layer Goes on to form the gut
Mesoderm
In the middle Goes on to form the muscles, circulatory system, blood and many different organs
Ectoderm
Late Gastrula
Endoderm Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Implantation
The embryo implants in the wall of the uterus on about the 7th day of development
The Placenta
The placenta is the site of nutrient, gas, and waste exchange Secretes hormones that maintain pregnancy
Trophoblast cells release human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) which signals the corpus luteum to enlarge and produce progesterone
The placenta develops from the embryonic chorion and maternal uterine tissue Chorionic villi are formed from the
