The sequence of embryonic development

Zygote → Morula → Blastula → Gastrula
The union of male and female gametes produces a zygote. The zygote undergoes many cleavages, or divisions, first forming a morula, a solid ball of cells. The next stage in embryonic development is the blastula, which is a hollow ball of cells. The blastula invaginates to form a gastrula with three germ layers: the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm (moving outwards from the inside).
