| Fertilization | joining of sperm and oocyte |
| Zygote | fertilized oocyte |
| Fraternal twins | More than one oocyte fertilized by different sperm |
| Identical twins | one oocyte fertilized before splitting |
| Cleavage | stage of cell division without cell growth |
| Morphogenesis | Change in shape and form of cells |
| Differentiation | cell specialization |
| Morula | group of Pluripotent cells |
| Blastocyst | a stage in embryonic development in which a hollow ball is formed containing the inner cell mass surrounded by Trophoblast cells |

| Yolk sac | Source of assorted cells for organ development |
| Chorion | Makes human chorionic gonadotropin and forms part of the placenta |
| Placenta | made from embryonic and maternal tissue and which filters nutrients and waste and antibodies for the fetus without mixing mother and fetal circulations |
