Here's why:
* Embryology focuses on the development of an organism from its earliest stages (fertilization or zygote formation) until birth or hatching. It encompasses the study of the embryonic and fetal stages of development.
* Early growth stages are a fundamental part of embryology. These stages involve rapid cell division, differentiation, and the formation of tissues and organs.
Other related fields that might be relevant:
* Developmental biology is a broader field that encompasses embryology and also studies development throughout an organism's lifespan.
* Developmental genetics focuses on the genetic control of developmental processes.
* Teratology studies birth defects and their causes.
