Embryonic period is the current period of prenatal development of the developing infant as reported in the ultrasound report given to Shaniqua and Charles.
Explanation:
The period after germinal implantation is the embryonic stage and lasts for about 56 days before the fetal stage
The embryonic period is marked by processes like rapid cell division, movement and cell differentiation through Carnegie stages or the developmental stages of the embryo.
The embryonic cells develop into primary organs like the eyes, nose, lips, heart, brain, tiny limbs etc. of the fetus.
An ultrasound is usually taken during the embryonic period to study about the development of embryo and any congenital defects or malformations in the embryo. All the organ systems formed and functions like beating of the heart can be visualized through this ultrasound.
