  • Embryo vs. Fetus: Understanding Late-Stage Development
    In the late stages of development, an embryo is typically called a fetus.

    While the terms "embryo" and "fetus" are often used interchangeably, there is a distinction:

    * Embryo: Refers to the developing organism from fertilization to the end of the 8th week of gestation in humans.

    * Fetus: Refers to the developing organism from the 9th week of gestation until birth in humans.

    Therefore, the late stages of development usually fall under the fetal stage.
