The embryonic period is the first eight weeks of development of the conceptus, beginning with fertilization. During this period, the embryo undergoes an amazing transformation from a single cell to a recognizably human embryo. In the mid-twentieth century, George Streeter devised a commonly used embryo classification system by dividing the embryonic period into 23 stages. The embryonic period is followed by the fetal period, which encompasses the remainder of theprenatal development.
