	Fetal development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fetal (U.S. English; "Foetal" UK English) development is the process in which a fetus (U.S. English; "Foetus" UK English) develops during gestation, from the times of conception until birth.
		A spontaneous abortion, or miscarriage, in the first trimester of pregnancy is usually due to major genetic mistakes or abnormalities in the developing embryo.
		The fetal heartbeat can be heard with a stethoscope.

	Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
		Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a serious health problem that tragically affects its victims and their families, but that is completely preventable.
		Victims of fetal alcohol syndrome often experience mental health problems, disrupted school experience, inappropriate sexual behavior, trouble with the law, alcohol and drug problems, difficulty caring for themselves and their children, and homelessness.
		Not a single case of fetal alcohol syndrome occurred and no adverse effects on children were found when consumption was under 8.5 drinks per week.

	Pregnancy and Fetal Development Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
		It is well established that humans, at both the fetal and infant stage, require an adequate supply of omega-3 and omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids for optimal growth and neural development.
		These essential oils are the main component of a developing fetal nervous system and retina and are necessary throughout the entire process of pregnancy for the health and well being of the fetus.
		Although the developing fetus requires DHA throughout the pregnancy, this vital nutrient is particularly important during the third trimester.

	Fetal Development
		The differences in fetal weight between those born to smoking mothers and non-smoking mothers may instead be due to many other possible factors introduced by the smoking habit.
		Since fetal hemoglobin is somewhat different from maternal hemoglobin, carbon monoxide takes longer to be eliminated from the fetus than from the mother.
		Low fetal birth weight-This low weight is not caused by prematurity but apparently due to reduced levels of oxygen delivered by the mother to her developing infant.

	Mammary Development - Fetal
		Thus, the male pattern (masculinization) of mammary development is indicated at birth of the mouse fetus as the absence of nipples and the female pattern is indicated by the presence of nipples.
		Mammary development of male fetuses are not further affected by the testosterone treatment of the mother.
		Injection of growth hormone into the mouse fetus increases the size of the developing mammary gland in both male and female fetuses, suggesting that this hormone is also involved in development of the mammary gland during the fetal stage.

		At a little more than an inch long, the developing life is now called a fetus--Latin for "young one" or "offspring." Everything is now present that will be found in a fully developed adult.
		The delicate skin of the growing baby is protected from the fetal waters by a special ointment called "vernix." If the baby were given the proper care, he would survive.
		The above picture shows the eye developing slowly in the child, lagging behind the brain, an appropriate sequence because a refined eye is useless without a refined brain to read and interpret messages it sends.

	Fetal Development Presentation
		In the fourth week of development, the flat disk becomes cylindrical in structure-as the human body is cylindrical, with the skin on the outside, skeletal muscles in the middle, and the gastrointestinal tract in the center (Hole, 1994).
		Corticogenesis, the development of the prospective cortex, begins at about the eighth week and continues for much of the rest of gestation and is probably influenced by the brainstem.
		The developing cortex remains unconnected to the brainstem and the rest of the developing nervous system until about mid-gestation when the connection is made through a structure called the thalamus, which transmits sensory input from the rest of the nervous system to the cortex (DeCamp, 1997).

	Fetal development
		A single sperm penetrates the mother's egg cell (ovum) and the developing child gets half of its genetic information (in the form of DNA) from the mother (this is contained in the egg), and half from the father (from the sperm).
		A ball of cells is produced, each cell including a copy of the genes that will guide the development of the baby.
		Once there are about 32 cells, the developing baby is called a morula.

		Though maternal and fetal circulation entirely separate, their capillary systems come in close proximity to each other at the chorionic villi.
		Fetus can survive with low P 02's because they have more Hgb (usually 17-20 gm%) and Hgb is Hgb F (fetal Hgb) which shifts 02 dissociation curve to the left and gives you a lower p50.
		Fetal lungs are filled with fluid in order to maintain lungs at FRC (30ml/kg).
