Fertilization is the fusion of haploid gametes (the sperm and egg) to form a diploid zygote. The male gamete is spermatozoon and the female gamete is oocyte. https://www.google.com/search?q=fertilization&safe=strict&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiO6cGv16fpAhX5j3IEHeWjDkcQ_AUoAXoECBQQAw&biw=691&bih=600#imgrc=oCTNhbhpe6qvYM

The blastula is the hollow cellular mass that forms in early development. Trophoblast make up the outer layer, the inner cell mass, and a blastocoele make up the blastocyst. The inner cell mass will eventually form the entire embryo.

Implantation is the process in which the blastocyst attaches and invades the uterus endometrium. This process begins by the end of week 1 and extends through the second week of development. https://www.google.com/search?q=implantation&safe=strict&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiU6Ki716fpAhU1YjUKHYP9DzoQ_AUoAnoECBMQBA&biw=691&bih=600#imgrc=D9tOZ9hDCtGSLM

The epiblast layer, consisting of totipotential cells, derives all three embryo layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The primitive streak is the region of cell migration from the epiblast layer, forming two germ cell layers becomes visible. https://www.google.com/search?q=gastrulation&safe=strict&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjqnvDx16fpAhVOmHIEHYtCC6wQ_AUoAXoECBAQAw&biw=691&bih=600#imgrc=8qf2bHuI6AaWRM

Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are developed in the brain. When an embryo is first developing, this process is crucial. https://www.google.com/search?q=neurogenesis&safe=strict&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjB8b6-6afpAhUMmHIEHTyJDKoQ_AUoBHoECBUQBg&biw=691&bih=600#imgrc=2mKDO-AUw_F7vM

During stage 17, many new developments take place.
