Study Notes
Prenatal Development
- The embryonic period is the shortest in duration, spanning from weeks 3-8 of pregnancy.
- The first stage of prenatal development is the germinal period, which begins at fertilization and lasts around 2 weeks.
- The germinal period is characterized by fertilization to implantation, and it is the stage where the zygote undergoes several cell divisions.
- The father's nutrition does not directly affect growth and development during pregnancy.
- The general timeline of growth and development during pregnancy is correlated to the stages of fetal development, which are divided into three trimesters.
