a zygote formed in the female body in human beings eventually leads to the formation of a baby.explain?

The zygote formed after fertilization divides repeatedly to form a mass of cells known as the embryo. The cells of the embryo start dividing into groups, which leads to the formation of future tissues and organs of the baby.

Development of an embryo inside the female body

The zygote formed after fertilization in the fallopian tubes is implanted in the uterus. The uterus is also known as the womb. Here, the zygote divides to form an embryo, which develops into a foetus.

How is the embryo attached in the uterus?

The uterus is a sac-like structure which opens into the vagina. The wall of the uterus has three layers of tissues:

  1. The outer-thin layer is known as the perimetrium.

  1. The middle layer is thick and is made up of smooth muscles. It is known as the myometrium. These muscles contract strongly during the delivery of a baby.

  1. The inner layer lines the uterine cavity, which has many glands and is known as the endometrium. It thickens every month and is supplied with blood to nourish the embryo. It undergoes cyclic changes during the menstrual cycle.

Therefore, the zygote in the uterus or womb divides many times to form an embryo. This leads to pregnancy.

Within a span of some months, the embryo starts developing limbs, hands, and legs and begins to resemble a miniature human being. When all the body parts of an embryo can be recognized it is known as a foetus. When the foetus is fully developed, the mother gives birth to the baby.

The process discussed above explains the development of an embryo in humans.

a zygote formed in the female body in humans eventually leads to the formation of a baby as the female body provides nutrients to the baby so it develops well and passes from different stages like from zygote to a embryo and embryo to a foetus and foetus to a copmplete baby which takes birth after 9 months . thus , a zygote forms to a complete baby
