The stage in the embryo called a fetus typically begins around the 9th week of development. At this point, the major organs have formed and the developing organism is referred to as a fetus until birth.
embryo
An embryo is considered to have transformed into a fetus at around 8 weeks of gestation following conception. This marks the point where key organs have formed and the basic body structure is in place. At this stage, the developing organism is referred to as a fetus.
Yes, a fetus is considered living because it is a developing organism with its own unique genetic makeup and the ability to grow and respond to stimuli.
At 3 months after fertilization, the developing embryo is considered a fetus. During this stage, major organs and body systems continue to form. The fetus also goes through significant growth and development, with features becoming more defined.
Before the fetal stage is the embryonic stage. The embryo develops into the fetus.
Yes, it is ethically permissible to terminate a pregnancy when the fetus is not considered a person, as the decision is based on the understanding that personhood begins at a later stage of development.
It depends on what organism the embryo comes from.
An Embryo is a stage before Fetus, the Fetus is more developed than an Embryo, the stage of Birth and a baby being more developed than a fetus.
The term "fetus" refers to the stage of development after the embryo. The two-cell stage of development comes well before the embryonic stage. There is no point at which a fetus, by definition, has two cells.
An embryo is the early stage of development of a multicellular organism, specifically before it becomes a fetus. It is formed from the union of sperm and egg during fertilization and goes through various stages of growth and differentiation.
A fetus is typically referred to as such from the end of the eighth week of pregnancy until birth. At birth, it is called a newborn or infant. The transition from fetus to newborn marks the point where the organism is outside the womb and can survive independently. Different contexts, such as medical, legal, or ethical discussions, may also influence terminology used around this stage.
