Morula:- Solid ball of about 16 cells called blastomeres,produced through cleavages of the zygote.

Blastocyte:-Ball of cells with surface layer and an inner cell mass. produced after the morula enters the uterus then , fluid enters the ball and lifts some cells to form a cavity.

Embryo:- Embryo refers to all development stage from two
 weeks after fertilisation unit the end of the 8th week. all major body structures begin forming during the  embryonic period.

Foetus:-Foetus refers to all developmental stages from the 19th
 week until birth, about 38th week after fertilisataion.  The rate of overall growth and structure elaborations increase dramatically during the foetal period.

Newborn:-Baby from0-28 days in called neonate, which can be
divided in to early neonate. The physiological  transition from life in the uterus to life in the   external world requires many gradual changes, as in respiration.
