A detailed overview of key concepts in early embryonic development, focusing on fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, and organogenesis. It includes definitions and explanations of various processes such as holoblastic and meroblastic cleavage, as well as different types of cell movements during gastrulation like invagination, involution, and epiboly. The document also covers the roles of the nieuwkoop center and spemann-mangold organizer in cell differentiation, neurulation, and the effects of teratogens like thalidomide. Additionally, it describes the structure and function of sperm and egg cells, including the acrosome reaction and chemotaxis. This resource is valuable for students studying developmental biology, offering a comprehensive review of essential terminology and processes involved in early embryogenesis. It is useful for exam preparation and understanding the fundamental principles of how a single cell develops into a complex organism.
