This detailed guide covers the intricate processes of human reproduction and development, from spermatogenesis to fetal growth stages. Learn about meiosis, differentiation, implantation, organogenesis, and fetal development milestones. Understand the stages of development, from zygote to embryo to fetus, and explore the critical milestones like implantation, organ formation, and gender development. Dive into the fascinating journey of human life creation and growth.

Stages of development A. Cleavage 1. Zygote divides without an increase in size 2. A solid round ball of cells called the morula is formed 3. The morula develops a cavity producing a hollow blastula B. Gastrulation 1. Blastula cells migrate to form three tissue layers • Endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm 2. Resulting three-layered embryo is called the gastrula

Human prenatal development A. Implantation of embryo in endometrium 1. Over half of all embryos fail to implant 2. hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), basis of early pregnancy test
morula stage cavity outer cell layer blastocyst (blastula stage) inner cell mass uterine lining (endometrium) embryonic disc (future embryo) yolk sac uterine lining (endometrium) amnion
The opening inside the blastula is the blastocoel. yolk The blastopore is the site at whichgastrulation willbegin. (a) The blastula just before gastrulation.
(e) Further development. The neural tube differentiates into brain and spinal cord. A future mouth is produced when the opening formed by the primitive gut breaks through at the end of the embryo opposite the blastopore. The blastopore is the future anus. future brain spinal cord primitivegut notochord future mouth blastopore (future anus) remnant of yolk
Stages of animal development C. Organogenesis 1. Induction promotes cells to differentiate into specific organ and tissue types 2. Adult structures develop—programmed cell death a. Some cells die unless they receive a chemical "survival signal" b. Some cells live unless they receive a chemical "death signal"
Human prenatal development B. Early embryonic development 1. Rapid differentiation and growth during first 2 months 2. Placenta develops a) Outer cells of blastula form the chorion, which penetrates the uterine lining and develops into the placenta b) Placenta functions 1) Secretes hormones—estrogen and progesterone 2) Regulates exchange of material between the mother and the fetus

Human prenatal development C. Fetal development 1. After two months, the major organs have formed and the human form appears 2. Gender development in the third month 3. Last 7 months—protected growth and development period
Age (weeks) 11 12 fetus 73 mm 87 mm Well-defined neck appears; genitalia arecomplete; sucking reflex appears
Age (months) 4 5 fetus 140 mm 190 mm Blood cells form; all major organs form; head andbody hair appear; movements are felt by mother
Age (months) 6 7 fetus 230 mm 270 mm Fetus may be viable if born; eyelids open; lungsand lung circulation develop; may suck thumb; fat deposited under skin
Age (months) 8 9 fetus 300 mm 350 mm Fetus usually viable if born; fat deposits increase;body hair is lost; head hair is well developed; mostsenses are well developed; fetus turns head downin uterus
1 The baby is oriented head downward, facing the mother’s side. The cervix isbeginning to thin and expand in diameter (dilate). 4 The baby has rotated to the sideonce again as theshoulders emerge. 2 The cervix is completely dilated to 10 centimeters (almost 4 incheswide), and the baby’s head has entered the vagina, or birth canal.The baby has rotated to face the mother’s back. 3 The baby’s headis emerging.
Methods of contraception 1. Abstinence—100% effective 2. Permanent contraception a. Sterilization 1) Vasectomy Tubal ligation 3. Temporary contraception a. Preventing ovulation 1) Birth control pills a) High doses of estrogen/progesterone prevent ovulation b) Extended use—Norplant and Depo-provera b. Preventing sperm and egg union 1) Condoms (male and female) 2) Diaphragm and spermicide 3) Rhythm method (natural family planning) c. Preventing implantation of fertilized eggs 1) Intrauterine device (IUD) 4. Abortion a. Partial birth abortions b. Chemically induced abortion—RU-486, methotrexate Birth Control
