Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of conducting developmental toxicity studies in the pharmaceutical industry?

  • To understand the key stages of human development from fertilization to fetal development
  • To study the critical periods of vulnerability during embryonic and fetal development
  • To gain insights into the long-term health consequences of environmental chemicals and pollutants
  • To comply with regulatory requirements before a drug can be approved for use in the market (correct)

Which stage of human development is characterized by the 'all-or-nothing' effect, where exposure to teratogens may result in failure of implantation and early pregnancy loss?

  • Embryonic Period (2-8 weeks)
  • Fertilization and Pre-implantation (0-1 week) (correct)
  • Fetogenesis
  • Implantation

What is the potential outcome of toxicity during the pre-implantation stage of human development?

  • Both death and malformation can occur
  • Death due to overwhelming damage (correct)
  • Slight or no effect on growth due to the regenerative power of the embryo
  • Malformation due to the 'all-or-nothing' effect
