Periods of Prenatal
Development
Period and Length
Key Events
Zygote
(2 weeks)
 Fertilization
 Implantation
 Start of placenta
Embryo
(6 weeks)
 Groundwork laid for all body
structures and internal organs
Fetus
(30 weeks)
 “Growth and finishing” phase

Formation of the Zygote
• The zygote begins when the ovum is penetrated
by a sperm. Over the next 30 hours, it divides
once, and then divides more rapidly over the
next two weeks.
• The cells on the inside of this ball will become
the organism; the cells on the outside will
become the placenta and supporting structures.
• By the fourth day, 60 or 70 cells form a hollow,
fluid-filled blastocyst.
• Sometime between the 7th and 9th day, the
blastocyst burrows into the uterine wall.

Exploring Lifespan Development Third Edition  Laura E. Berk
Period of the Zygote/Germinal
Period
• The first two weeks after fertilization
• Includes formation of the zygote
• The zygote splits to form a blastocyst, and
then the hollow, fluid-filled blastula.
• The blastula travels to the uterus and
implants
• Cell differentiation, producing the
embryonic disc and supporting structures,
begins by the end of the first week.

Exploring Lifespan Development Third Edition  Laura E. Berk
Period of the Embryo
• End of the 2nd week until the end of the second month
after fertilization; when fertilization is complete.
• Outer cells of the blastula produce supporting structures;
inner cells of the inner, embryonic disc differentiate into
the embryo itself.
• Three structures are produced: amniotic sac: a
membrane filled with amniotic fluid, which helps
cushion and protect the embryo; the placenta; mass of
tissue attached to the uterine wall that acts as a filter;
umbilical cord: connects placenta to the embryo,
contains 2 fetal arteries and one fetal vein.
• First 6 weeks: the embryo develops arms, legs, fingers,
toes, a face, a beating heart, a brain, lungs, and all other
major organs

The Embryo
• After implantation, the embryo develops into three
distinct layers:
• Ectoderm: becomes the nervous system and skin
• Mesoderm: becomes the muscles, skeleton,
circulatory system, and other internal organs
• Endoderm: becomes the digestive system, lungs,
urinary tract, and glands
• The ectoderm folds over to form the neural tube that will
become the spinal cord and brain.
• Arms and legs unfold, eyes become visible and lungs,
digestive and excretory systems begin to form.

Exploring Lifespan Development Third Edition  Laura E. Berk
Period of the Fetus
 Third month:
 organs, muscles, and nervous system start to
become organized and connected
 lungs begin to expand and contract
 Second trimester:
 many organs are well-developed by 20 weeks
 most of the brain’s neurons are in place
 Third trimester:
 age of viability: 22–26 weeks
 fetus takes on beginnings of personality
