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.

The outer-thin layer is known as the perimetrium.

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.

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.

Fertilisation results in the formation of zygote which begins to develop to an embryo. Zygote divides repeatedly to give rise to a ball of cells. The cells then begin to form groups which develop into different tissues and organs of the body. This developing structure is termed an embryo. The embryo gets embedded in the wall of the uterus. The embryo continues to develop in the uterus. It gradually forms body parts such has hands, legs, eyes, head, etc. The stage of the embryo in which all the body parts can be identified is know as foetus. When the development of the foetus is complete, the mother gives birth to the baby
