  1. LESSON 4 THE COURSE OF PRENATAL DEVELOPMENT AND PRENATAL HAZARDS AND CARE

  2. KEY CONCEPT Development progresses in stages from zygote to fetus.

  3. blastocyst uterine wall Implantation of blastocyst The fertilized egg implants into the uterus and is nourished by the placenta and umbilical cord. • ectoderm develops into skin and nervous system • The zygote becomes a blastocyst and implants in the uterus. • mesoderm develops into Internal tissues and organs • endoderm develops into digestive organs and their lining

  4. placenta umbilical cord uterus amniotic sac • The blastocyst becomes an embryo. • Embryonic membranes protect and nourish the embryo. • amniotic sac cushions embryo. • placenta connects mother and embryo. • umbilical cord connects embryo to placenta.

  5. A zygote develops into a fully formed fetus in about 38 weeks. • Human pregnancies are divided into trimesters. • 1st trimester: body plan and early development

  6. 2nd trimester: fetus more active, developed

  7. 3rd trimester: all organs fully formed • After about 38 weeks, fetus is ready to be born.
