Describe the stages of cellular development prior to tissue stages.
larisa [96]
Following fertilization, the single-celled zygote undergoes cleavage, where it is then divided into numerous tiny cells. After 3 to 4 days of fertilization, the cleavage produces a 16 celled embryonic stage known as morula, which is contained within the zona pellucida.

After about 4-5 days of fertilization, cleavage produces a sphere mass of cells known as blastomeres, which is covered by a layer known as trophoblast and has a fluid-filled cavity in the center, known as blastocoel. The blastomeres then migrate inward, changing position and undergoing rearrangements. This is known as gastrulation.

Gastrulation then causes the development of three germ layers: ectoderma, endoderma, and mesoderma. The interaction of cells and the rearrangement of tissues and organs occurs only after the formation of germ layers.

2.stratified squamous epithelium: It is found at mouth surface primarily tongue and throat . These cells are stratified that is they are many layered because everyday whatever we put in our  mouth and throat it protects from wear and tear. It gives physical protection from pathogens as well.

3.pseudostratified columnar epithelium: It is a lining of the nasal cavity trachea and bronchi. This layer is ciliary to trap patheogen on entering into the lungs.
