| when does the foetus reach the age or viability? | during the third trimester, about 22-26 weeks |
| what is the zygotic stage? | - weeks 1-2 (1st trimester) - zygote multiples as it travels along the fallopian tube - after 3 days it has became a mass of cells called blastocyst - implantation occurs after 7-9 days - finds food and shelter in the uterus |
| what happens int he embryonic stage? | weeks 3-4 - ectoderm: nervous system and skin - mesoderm- muscles, skeleton and circulatory system and organs - endoderm- digestive system, lungs, urinary tract and glands |

| what happens in the third trimester? | 22-26 weeks - brain development - rhythmic alterations in heart rate associated with periods of awakedness - greater responsiveness (part rate changes to voices) |
| describe teratogen | environmental agent that causes damagee during prenatal period |
| what are some factors associated with teratogens? | dosage heritability other negative contributing factors age of the organism (sensitive periods) |

| what effects can radiation have on a foetus? | under developed brains and physical deformities |
| what environmental pollutions effect the foetus? | lead- low birth weight, brain damage, physical defects dioxins- immune system, brain damage mercury in water- brain damage |
| what does emotional stress do to the foetus? | intense anxiety- higher rate of miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, respiratory and digestive illnesses, sleep disturbances, irritability during first 3 years - low concentration of cortisol leads to reduced physiological capacity to cope with stress |
| summarise teratogens | First term- congenital malformations second and third trimester- affects growth, foetal development and foetal tissue near term- adverse effects on abut or neonate after delivery |
| what are the environmental factors that can harm the foetus? | dosage heredity poor diet, other teratogens age/sensitive period |
| EXAM QUESTION | Discuss the effects of three teratogens on prenatal development |
