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.

Would neoblasts be considered totipotent pluripotent or multipotent?

5-7 days embryonic cells are totipotent 6 week embryo cells are pluripotent


How Many Totiptent stem cells does a 5 week old embryo contain?

At around 5 weeks of embryonic development, a human embryo contains a relatively small number of totipotent stem cells, which are capable of developing into any cell type in the body, including the placenta. Initially, after fertilization, the zygote is totipotent, but as the embryo develops and cells begin to differentiate, this totipotent capacity diminishes. By the 5-week mark, the embryo has transitioned primarily to pluripotent stem cells, which can give rise to various cell types but not to the placenta. The exact number of totipotent cells at this stage is not well-defined, as most of the totipotent cells would have already given rise to pluripotent cells.


Which week is it when the embryo's blood cells begin to form?

weeks 2-4


What organ do stem cells start differentiating to form after a few weeks of conception?

After a few weeks of conception, stem cells begin to differentiate into the organs of the developing embryo, with the formation of the heart being one of the earliest events. Around the third week of gestation, the heart starts to develop from mesodermal stem cells, marking a crucial step in organogenesis. This process sets the foundation for the development of other organs and systems in the body as the embryo continues to grow.

From the time a fertilized egg is implanted in a mother's uterus until about the eighth week of pregnancy, the developing organism is called an embryo.

What is the stage of human development between zygote and fetus?

The stage of human development between zygote and fetus is the embryo stage. This stage typically lasts from the 3rd week to the 8th week after fertilization. During this time, the cells continue to divide and differentiate into the various organs and tissues of the body.


What comes first embryo or fetus?

The embryo lasts until about week 10 or 11 and then it is known as a fetus.


How long is an embryo considered an embryo?

In humans, the prefetal product of conception from implantation through the eighth week of development.


When does the skeleton of an embryo develop?

4th week


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.
