During the embryonic stage, various birth defects can occur, including neural tube defects (such as spina bifida or anencephaly), congenital heart defects, and limb abnormalities. These defects can be influenced by genetic factors, environmental exposures, maternal health, and nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of folic acid. The embryonic stage, which spans from weeks 3 to 8 of pregnancy, is a critical period for organogenesis, making it particularly vulnerable to disruptions. Early prenatal care and appropriate interventions can help reduce the risk of these defects.

What are the defects that occur in a baby with Spina Bifida after birth?
None of the defects occur after birth, they all develop in the womb. They continue to exist for the entire life of the person, of course.

Can a male sperm cause birth defects?
Yes, there are several teratogens that can cause birth defects through male exposure. There is documented evidence that exposure to Agent Orange that was used during the Vietnam War has caused birth defects in first and second generation births. Additionally, radiation can lead to issues for many generations afterward. There are some viruses that are mutagenic and can cause defects in progeny as well.
What can occur if the drug epoetin is taken during pregnancy?
In studies of laboratory animals, epoetin taken during pregnancy caused birth defects, including damage to the bones and spine.
What are symdromes?
When multiple birth defects occur together and have a similar cause, they are called syndromes

What happens during the neurula stage?
The neurula stage is the stage of development of the nervous system of vertebrates. In a human fetus, if there are some failure in the development of the nervous system during the neurula stage, some serious birth defects could occur.
What are the defects of wood seasoning?
Some common defects that can occur during wood seasoning include warping, checking (cracks on the surface), splitting, and blue stain (fungal discoloration). These defects can affect the quality and usability of the wood for certain applications. Proper drying techniques and conditions can help minimize these defects.
What are the major events that occur during child birth?
umm.. birth.
What are the typical types of defects that can be found on mechanical assemblies and why do they occur?
Typical defects on mechanical assemblies include misalignments, loose fasteners, and material imperfections. These defects can occur due to human error during assembly, inadequate quality control measures, or issues with the manufacturing process. Insufficient training, poor maintenance, or design flaws can also contribute to the occurrence of defects.
