Until now, the embryo has been a mass of cells, but by this point in pregnancy a distinct shape begins to form. The neural tube, which will eventually form into the spinal cord and brain, runs from the top to the bottom of the embryo. At this time, the placenta develops. It is through the placenta and its finger like projections, called chorionic villi, that an embryo receives nourishment from its mother. The heart and blood vessels are just beginning to form.
