The best-characterized instance of placental protein expression comes not from an alternatively promoted host gene but from a complete co-option of a retroviral protein. Retroviral fusogenic env proteins, which play a role in the entry of the virion into the host cell, have had an important impact on the development of the mammalian placenta.
Human embryonic development covers the first eight weeks of development, which have 23 stages, called Carnegie stages. At the beginning of the ninth week, the embryo is termed a fetus (spelled "foetus" in British English). In comparison to the embryo, the fetus has more recognizable external features and a more complete set of developing organs.

Prenatal development (from Latin natalis 'relating to birth') involves the development of the embryo and of the fetus during a viviparous animal's gestation. Prenatal development starts with fertilization , in the germinal stage of embryonic development, and continues in fetal development until birth .
Epigenetics of human development is the study of how epigenetics (hertiable characteristics that do not involve changes in DNA sequence) effects human development. Development before birth, including gametogenesis , embryogenesis , and fetal development , is the process of body development from the gametes are formed to eventually combine into ...
The cytotrophoblast cells proliferate and invade maternal endometrium, which is key to implantation and placental development. [18] Furthermore, cytotrophoblasts fuse and differentiate into multinucleated synctiotrophoblast cells that are surrounded by maternal blood and cover the embryo.
Embryonic age: 7 weeks and 0 days until 9 weeks and 6 days old. Fetus at 10 weeks. Embryo measures 30–80 mm (1.2–3.1 in) in length. Ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds fuse during the 8th week; Intestines rotate. Facial features continue to develop. The eyelids are more developed. The external features of the ear begin to take their final shape.
