"Embryologist" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
A scientist who specializes in the study of embryos, especially during the early stages of development, often focusing on the formation and growth of embryos from the fertilization of an egg to the beginning of fetal development.
Embryogenesis is the process by which an embryo develops from a fertilized egg cell. It involves the complex and highly coordinated cell divisions, growth, and differentiation of cells that give rise to the different tissues and organs of the body. The term embryogenesis refers specifically to the prenatal developmental stage, from the formation of the zygote to the end of organogenesis, which is roughly around the sixth week of gestation.
Embryogeny refers to the process of development of an embryo, specifically the formation and growth of a fertilized egg into a fetus, which culminates in the formation of a new individual.
Embryogony refers to the development of an embryo, particularly the process of growth, differentiation, and organization of cells during embryogenesis.
Relating to or characteristic of the developmental stage of an organism, typically in the womb, before birth, especially in relation to the formation of tissues and organs.
Relating to or involving the development of an embryo, especially in the earliest stages of life.
To embryonate means to form an embryo or to start the development of a new life within the womb of a female animal, typically after fertilization of an egg by a sperm. It is often used to describe the process of formation of a fetus in mammals, especially mammals that give birth to live young.
Embryonated refers to a stage of development, typically within the womb, where a fertilized egg (zygote) has begun to divide and form cells that eventually will give rise to a fully formed embryo. At this point, the cells start to differentiate and organize into various tissue layers, but the embryo is still very small and may not be yet recognizable as a distinct individual.
