Fetal development takes place in a relatively short amount of time. In just nine months, a functioning human being develops from a zygote formed from the joining of an egg and a sperm. During that time, the fetus receives from its mother through the placenta and umbilical cord everything that it needs to grow and develop into a baby. Form a Hypothesis: Develop an explanation for how a woman’s lifestyle choices affect the substances that enter the fetus

Filling in the blanks. Following conception the cells that eventually form the neural patch are initially referred to as totipotent-- meaning that they have the capability to become any type of human cell. However, at about 4 weeks after conception those cells destined to become the human nervous system form the neural plate, on the ventral surface of the embryo. A day or two later the ________________develops, eventually fusing to form the ________________. By prenatal week # five the developing human brain is visible at the anterior end of the neural tube as three swellings. In order from ________________to ________________ these are the rhombencephalon, the ________________ and the ________________. These swellings eventually develop into the five major divisions of the adult brain which are (from ________________ to ________________) the ________________, the ________________, the ________________, the ________________ and the Telencephalon.
During pregnancy, how does malnutrition during critical periods of development affect the fetus? Group of answer choices When the development of an organ is impaired, the damage is irreversible. If the development of the heart is impaired in the early stages, it can be reversed if good nutrition is provided after the critical period. Malnutrition does not affect the fetus but has adverse effects on the mother's health. Malnutrition does not cause dental problems as teeth develop after the baby is born. A surplus of nutrients taken after the critical period will make up for a deficit caused at any time during development.

A human is a complex organism that develops from a zygote. Briefly explain some of the the steps in this development process in the form of a paragraph. In your answer, be sure to: 1) explain how a zygote formed, 2) compare the genetic content of the zygote to the body cells of the parents, 3) identify the structure in which embryonic/fetal development usually occurs within, and 4) identify the structure that forms, which provides nourishment and waste removal to/from the developing baby.
Discussion: Fetal Development  Marie Tamasin is a quiet shy, 35-year-old woman from Port Au Prince, Haiti, who arrives at the doctor’s office with her husband Jean. Jean tells the nurse that in Haiti, a multiple marker screen blood test was done, and they were told it was abnormal. Marie expresses ambivalence about the pregnancy, stating, “I’m really scared. I had a miscarriage 6 month ago. She complains of tender breasts and intermittent nausea. Her last menstrual period was June 10.  1. What is Marie’s GTPAL, and due date? (Using the GTPAL) And explain how you calculate a due date.  2. When is this test normally done? Explain what this test is and what are the implications of this test?  3. How might Marie’s cultural background affect the nurse-client relationship and what might the nurse do to become more culturally competent?  4. Marie is scheduled for an amniocentesis. The nurse askes if she has any questions about the test. Marie says, “I’m afraid the baby will be…
When doctors discuss prenatal development, they often calculate the due date from the first day of menstruation. In fact, the baby’s gestational age is calculated from the first day of menstruation. At a maternity clinic, an obstetrician mentions that when a woman is 10 weeks pregnant, the baby is referred to as a fetus. Which of the following is the correct calculation of the baby’s age from the moment of fertilization, assuming a 28-day ovarian cycle? Select one: a. The baby is 8 weeks old. This is when organ formation has completed. b. The baby is 12 weeks old and at the end of the first trimester. c. The baby is in its second trimester. This is when they are referred to as a fetus. d. The baby is 10 weeks old as stated by the doctor.
