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.


What is the length of an embryo during week one through ten?

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.
