During week one, the embryo is still at the stage of implantation and does not have a measurable length. By the end of week ten, the embryo has developed into a fetus and is typically around 1.2 to 1.6 inches (3 to 4 centimeters) long.
During the 6th week of pregnancy, the embryo is typically around 5-6 mm in length, which is about the size of a sweet pea or a lentil.
An embryo forms first during pregnancy, after fertilization of the egg by sperm. It develops into a fetus around the end of the eighth week of pregnancy.
After fertilization, the embryo undergoes a series of cell divisions and differentiation to develop into a fetus. During this process, the embryo forms different organ systems and structures, such as the brain, heart, and limbs. By the end of the eighth week of development, the embryo is considered a fetus.
During development, an embryo is embedded in the the endometrium during the first week of pregnancy. The endometrium is the innermost muccous membrage of the uterus. The embryo becomes implanted in it, then the surrounding tissue forms sinuses that exchange nutrients and later becomes the placenta.

Week four
The heart begins to form in the embryo around the third week of gestation, specifically during the process known as cardiogenesis. By the end of the third week, the heart tube has typically formed and starts to beat, marking the onset of circulation. This early development is crucial for supplying oxygen and nutrients to the growing embryo.
The embryo lasts until about week 10 or 11 and then it is known as a fetus.

An embryo is the early stage of development in a multicellular organism, typically referring to the period from fertilization to the end of the eighth week of gestation in humans. It is during this stage that the basic structures of an organism are formed.
