9. Developmental Steps: Zygote Embryo Fetus
1) Egg is made in the
ovary
2) Egg released from
ovary and enters
fallopian tube
3) Sperm fertilizes egg
creating a 46
chromosome zygote
4) Zygote replicates and
becomes an embryo
5) Embryo embeds into
uterus to become a
fetus

Questions
2) In the uterus there is an endometrium
and a myometrium. “Metrium”
means “womb” or “uterus”. DON’T
look it up, but guess what an
endometrium is.
3) What does “myo” mean in Latin (ask
me for help)? Can you now guess
what a myometrium is?
