Preferred term

embryo  

Note

  • [...] early events in mammalian development, very likely including the human, involve formation of extraembryonic, rather than embryonic, structures and functions. [...] This means that zygote, cleavage, and early blastocyst stages should be regarded as preembryonic, rather than embryonic. Such terminology reserves the term "embryo" for the rudiment of the whole being that first appears in the second week after fertilization in humans. (Source : INRA)
