Embryo transport refers to the process of moving embryos, typically in the context of assisted reproductive technologies, from one location to another. This can involve transferring embryos created via in vitro fertilization (IVF) to a recipient's uterus or transporting them between laboratories for research or preservation. Proper handling and storage conditions are crucial to maintain embryo viability during transport. This process is essential for successful implantation and pregnancy outcomes in fertility treatments.
The developing embryo is connected to the placenta through the umbilical cord. This cord contains blood vessels that transport nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the embryo and the placenta, facilitating crucial exchanges for fetal development. The placenta itself acts as an interface, allowing maternal blood to nourish the embryo while protecting it from certain substances. This connection is vital for the embryo’s growth and overall health during pregnancy.
The uterine membrane, comprised of the placenta, facilitates the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the mother and embryo. This transport occurs through diffusion, active transport, and facilitated diffusion mechanisms. The placenta also acts as a barrier to prevent harmful substances from crossing between the maternal and fetal circulations.
The embryo needs a heart to establish a circulatory system that supplies oxygen and nutrients to developing tissues and organs. As the embryo grows, it requires a reliable way to transport essential substances and remove waste products, which the heart facilitates through blood circulation. This early development of the heart is crucial for overall growth and the proper functioning of the embryo. Without a functioning heart, the embryo would not survive beyond a certain stage of development.
two type of embryo 1) zygotic embryo 2) nonzygotic embryo

Embryo, between the 3rd and 8th week. Fetus, after the 8th week

The plant is the embryo. When the seed begins to germinate and become a plant that is when it is an embryo.
Fetus is name given to human embryo after it is recognizable as human embryo .
The same way that a human embryo or any other mammalian embryo does.
