1Embryo — An embryo (from Greek: Polytonic|ἔμβρυον , plural Polytonic|ἔμβρυα , lit. that which grows, from en in + bryein to swell, be full ) is a multicellular diploid eukaryote in its earliest stage of development, from the time of first cell division… …
2Axis — The axis is the second cervical vertebra (symbol: C2). It is called the axis because the uppermost cervical vertebra (called the atlas) rotates about the odontoid process of C2. The joint between the axis and atlas is a pivot type of joint. It… …

5Cleavage (embryo) — In embryology, cleavage is the division of cells in the early embryo. The zygotes of many species undergo rapid cell cycles with no significant growth, producing a cluster of cells the same size as the original zygote. The different cells derived …

9embryonic axis — an imaginary line from the head end to the tail end of an embryo or, before that, the line of elongation of the primitive streak and groove …
10Regional specification — In the field of developmental biology, regional specification is the process by which different areas are identified in the development of the early embryo. The process by which the cells become specified differs between organisms. Contents 1… …
