(36) 
Answered by Examlex AI CopilotThe three stages of prenatal development are the germinal stage, the embryonic stage, and the fetal stage.
1. Germinal stage: This stage begins at conception and lasts for about two weeks. During this stage, the fertilized egg, called a zygote, begins to divide and form a blastocyst. The blastocyst then implants itself into the uterine wall.
2. Embryonic stage: This stage lasts from the third week through the eighth week of pregnancy. During this stage, the major organs and systems of the body begin to develop. The embryo is particularly vulnerable during this stage, as exposure to harmful substances can cause birth defects.
3. Fetal stage: This stage begins at the ninth week of pregnancy and continues until birth. During this stage, the fetus grows and matures, and its organs continue to develop and function. The fetus also begins to exhibit movement and can respond to external stimuli. This stage is crucial for the continued growth and development of the baby before it is born.
