This episode teaches about the formation and development of an embryo in the first eight weeks. Fertilization is explained, detailing how sperm meets egg and delivers its genetic material. We cover the stages of embryo development: zygote, morula, blastula, and blastocyst. Each stage is described along with its key features. Finally, the episode discusses how the blastocyst implants itself in the uterus and the beginning stages of placenta development.
