Best Answer

Embryonic stem cells refer to pluripotent cells that are generally derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts (day 5).

Stem cells have been derived from gonadal ridges and mesenteries (3200 to 4000) extracted from aborted five-to-nine week old human embryos.

What provides nourishment for the human embryo?

The mother does. The embryo attaches to the uterine lining (called implantation) then secretes an enzyme to breakdown the cells of the lining as it burrows into the uterus. Maternal uterine cells then develop and surround the entire embryo, soon maternal blood vessels unite with the embryo to nourish it and remove waste products. This occurs about one week after fertilization and will provide nourishment throughout the first trimester until the embryo reaches the fetal stage at which time the placenta takes over through the umbilical cord.

Where is the embryo gets it's nourishment?

After about a week from conception the zygote consists of over 100 cells. It then separates into two distinct mases. The outer cells form a shell that will become the placenta and the inner cells will become the embryo. First the outer cells must implant or embed themselves in the wall of the uterus. This occurs at about 10 days after conception. If implantation occurs the cells will grow and become an embryo and placenta. An umbilical cord forms and connects to the embryo's stomach and placenta so the embryo can get nourishment.


How many weeks embryo become a fetus?

In humans, the embryo becomes the fetus at the beginning of the 11th week in gestational age (the 9th week after fertilization). This stage starts when the major structures have formed.
