Document Summary

Human boy develops from a single cell (the zygote) Understand development understand why the adult body is the way it is (and. Adult body there may be something a bit odd so the answer may be in the developmental. The human body that you see is the end point of a process of development pathologies) history. Not all bodies are the same and these are normal variations. Development reminds us that there are many paths to the adult body. Moves into uterus, dividing on the way. At 4 days, cell mass (blastocyst) undergoes cavitation to form a cavity (blastocoel) Fertilization happens in the fallopian tube which then moves towards the uterus dividing as it goes. The blastocyst is where the morula breaks up and a little cavity appears. The blastocyle is asymmetric where there is a thicker wall of cells to one side which is called the inner cell mass.
