Key Concepts

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in a controlled manner during development and homeostasis. It helps in sculpting tissues by eliminating cells that are no longer needed or are potentially harmful.

Embryonic Induction

Embryonic induction is the process by which one group of cells sends signals that influence the developmental fate of nearby cells, leading to the proper formation of tissues and organs.

Cleavage

Cleavage is the series of rapid cell divisions that occur immediately after fertilization, resulting in the formation of blastomeres, which are the early building blocks of the embryo.

Gastrulation

Gastrulation is a critical phase in embryonic development where cells undergo extensive movements and rearrangements to form the primary germ layers, which are the precursors to all tissues and organs.

Implantation

Implantation is the process through which the blastocyst attaches and embeds itself into the uterine lining, establishing a basis for nutrient exchange and further embryonic growth.
