implantation
Implantation occurs when the blastocyst attaches itself to the endometrium wall. For humans, this process begins at the end of week 1 with the most successful pregnancies implanting between 8-10 days post ovulation. Implantation continues through the second week of development. -
gastrulation occurs
The three germs layers develop known as the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm. -
heart begins to beat

The hindbrain is supplied by two parallel neural arteries. The simple ectoderm epithelium over mesenchyme, smell crest comes from nasal plates, diaphragm, and more are starting to develop and appear. -
hearing
The cochlear part of the otic vesicle elongates. -
hearing- third trimester
