The death of an embryo or fetus in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy is called a spontaneous abortion.
Fetus
During the first two months of pregnancy the unborn child is known as an embryo.
For the first 8 weeks the developing human is called an embryo after that it is called a fetus.
Well, it seems like after the 8th week it's called a fetus, but before it's just an embryo.
An embryo is the early stage of development of a baby, typically from fertilization until about 8 weeks. During pregnancy, the embryo grows and develops into a fetus through a process called embryogenesis. This involves the formation of major organs, tissues, and body structures, as well as the growth and differentiation of cells. By the end of the first trimester, the embryo is typically referred to as a fetus, and continues to grow and mature throughout the remainder of the pregnancy.
The development of a fertilized egg starts out as an embryo though after 8 weeks it is legally considered a fetus.
After the 8th week, the embryo is called a fetus.
In plants embryo develops in new seedling and in animals it develops into feotus which later develops into baby
The embryo is the first stage of a baby's life then after 12 weeks it is called a fetus.
An embryo can last for about 5-7 days after fertilization before it implants into the uterus. After implantation, the embryo continues to develop into a fetus throughout pregnancy.
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.
The human embryo come to be called a fetus by the end of the 9th week of development because all the groundwork has been completed by the 8th week. A&P II student of Judith Miller South University, Montgomery, AL
