Document Summary

Begins with the fertilization of an egg (sperm from the father) Fertilization occurring in the oviduct or fallopian tubes (narrow ducts which lead from the ovaries to the uterus) produces a single-celled zygote (cell produced by the union of sperm and ovum during fertilization) The zygote travels down the fallopian tubes into uterus. In the uterus, the embryo imbeds in the uterine lining (implantation) 2 weeks after fertilization, implementation is complete and the offspring is an embryo. Embryonic stage of development lasts until the eighth week after fertilization. 9th week; embryo is known as a fetus.
