Digesting the [...] these finger-like organs do not form part
Of the embryo but later,
Contributes to the special organ
Forming the placenta which supplies
The embryo with both food and oxygen.

The embryo's cells
Divide to form tissues,
The tissues swell, form, extend,
And so form organs of the body

By the end of 5 weeks the heart and
The circulatory system are formed

About 10 mm long.
After 2 months the limbs and
The main organ system
Have been laid down
And the embryo is now referred to
As a foetus.
