Definition: The term "embryology" refers to the study of the development and growth of embryos, including all stages from fertilization through implantation until their final stage of metamorphosis into a fetus or embryo. Embryo science involves understanding how these complex organisms develop from the early stages of their formation.

Definition:

Embryology is the field of research that studies the development and growth of embryos, such as eggs and sperm cells. It also examines the processes involved in implantation, which occurs during the process by which a fertilized egg implants into an uterine wall to form a fetus or embryo, and the final stage, which is when the organism continues to grow until it has reached maturity. The term "embryology" typically encompasses several fields of study related to embryonic development. These may include: -

Cell Biology

: The analysis of cells in the embryo and early embryos. -

Genetics

: The study of the genetic components that determine traits, including genes involved in cell division. -

Endocrinology

: Study of hormones and other substances released by the thyroid gland during pregnancy. -

Fertilization Biology

: Studies of how fertilization occurs during ovulation. -

Embryonic Biology

: Research on the early stages of embryogenesis. -

Human Embryo Science

: The study of human embryos. Each of these fields is essential for understanding how the body develops from an egg until it becomes a fetus or embryo, and they work together to develop the fundamental processes that are involved in cell division, growth, and differentiation.
