Chapter 1 Introduction
The dynamic process by which the single-cell human zygote(zī΄gōt)[1] becomes a 100 trillion (1014) cell adult[2] is perhaps the most remarkable phenomenon in all of nature.
Researchers now know that many of the routine functions performed by the adult body become established during pregnancy – often long before birth.[3]
The developmental period before birth is increasingly understood as a time of preparation during which the developing human acquires the many structures, and practices the many skills, needed for survival after birth.
Chapter 1 Introduction
Hawgalka firfircoon ee hal-unug benii aadam saygoot uu ku noqdo 100-trilyan-unug waaweyn waxa laga yaabaa inay tahay dhacdada ugu cajiibsan ee dhammaan dabiicadda.
Baareyaashu waxay haatan ogyihiin in qaar badan oo falgalka caadi ah oo uu qabto jirka qaangaarka ah ay aasaasmeen xilligii uurka marar badan dhalashada ka hor in badan.
Muddadda koritaanka dhalashada ka hor waxaa si isoo tareysoo loogu fahmay waqti diyaargaroow ahaan oo gudihiisa benii aadamka koraya uu yeelanayo qaabab badan, dhaqan gelinnayana xirfado badan, oo loo baahan yahay si loo badbaado dhalashada ka dib.
Chapter 2 Terminology
Pregnancy in humans normally lasts approximately 38 weeks[4] as measured from the time of fertilization,[5] or conception,[6] until birth.
During the first 8 weeks following fertilization, the developing human is called an embryo,[7] which means "growing within."[8] This time, called the embryonic period,[9] is characterized by the formation of most major body systems.[10]
From the completion of 8 weeks until the end of pregnancy, "the developing human is called a fetus," which means "unborn offspring." During this time, called the fetal period, the body grows larger and its systems begin to function.[11]
All embryonic and fetal ages in this program refer to the time since fertilization.[12]
Chapter 2 Terminology
Uurka benii aadamka wuxu sida caadiga ah socdaa taqriiban 38 usbuuc marka laga xisaabiyo waqtiga kulanka unugyada labka iyo dheddiga ama abuuranka, illaa dhalashada.

[9]
Human development during the 8-week embryonic period has been divided into a series of 23 stages called Carnegie Stages. These stages are well described in O’Rahilly and Müller, 1987. Because human growth is unique and dependent on multiple factors, different embryos may reach a certain developmental milestone or a certain size at slightly different ages. This internationally-accepted staging system provides a way to describe development independent of age and size. Each of the 23 Carnegie Stages has specific structural features. As we describe various milestones of development, the Carnegie Stage at which they occur will be noted by a designation such as: [Carnegie Stage 2]. See Appendix B for additional information relating embryonic staging and age assignments.

Quotes from Moore and Persaud, 2003, 3: “After the embryonic period (eight weeks), the developing human is called a fetus.“ Also see O’Rahilly and Müller, 2001, 87.
[12]
This convention, termed “postfertilization age“ by O’Rahilly, has been long preferred by embryologists. [see Mall, 1918, 400;
O’Rahilly and Müller, 1999b, 39;
O’Rahilly and Müller, 2001, 88 & 91.] Obstetricians and radiologists typically assign age based on the time elapsed since the first day of the last menstrual period prior to fertilization. This is correctly termed “postmenstrual age“ and begins 2 weeks before fertilization occurs. To summarize: postmenstrual age = postfertilization age + 2 weeks. Therefore, postmenstrual age equals approximately 2 weeks at the time of fertilization. The commonly used term “gestational age“ has been used with both age conventions and is best either avoided or carefully defined with each use.

Chapter 3 Fertilization
Biologically speaking, "human development begins at fertilization,"[13] when a woman and a man each combine 23 of their own chromosomes through the union of their reproductive cells.
A woman's reproductive cell is commonly called an "egg" but the correct term is oocyte (ō´ō-sīt).[14]
Likewise, a man's reproductive cell is widely known as a "sperm," but the preferred term is spermatozoon (sper´mă-tō-zō´on).[15]
Following the release of an oocyte from a woman's ovary in a process called ovulation (ov´yū-lā´shŭn),[16] the oocyte and spermatozoon join within one of the uterine tubes,[17] which are often referred to as Fallopian tubes.
The uterine tubes link a woman's ovaries to her uterus or womb.
The resulting single-celled embryo is called a zygote,[18] meaning "yoked or joined together."[19]

Chapter 4 DNA, Cell Division, and Early Pregnancy Factor (EPF)
DNA
The zygote's 46 chromosomes[20] represent the unique first edition of a new individual's complete genetic blueprint. This master plan resides in tightly coiled molecules called DNA. They contain the instructions for the development of the entire body.
DNA molecules resemble a twisted ladder known as a double helix.[21] The rungs of the ladder are made up of paired molecules, or bases, called guanine, cytosine, adenine, and thymine.
Guanine pairs only with cytosine, and adenine with thymine.[22] Each human cell contains approximately 3 billion (3×109) base pairs.[23]
The DNA of a single cell contains so much information that if it were represented in printed words, simply listing the first letter of each base would require over 1.5 million (1.5×106) pages of text![24]
If laid end-to-end, the DNA in a single human cell measures 3⅓ feet or 1 meter.[25]
If we could uncoil all of the DNA within an adult's 100 trillion (1014) cells, it would extend over 63 billion (6.3×1010) miles. This distance reaches from the earth to the sun and back 340 times.[26]
Cell Division
Approximately 24 to 30 hours after fertilization, the zygote completes its first cell division.[27] Through the process of mitosis, one cell splits into two, two into four, and so on.[28]
Early Pregnancy Factor (EPF)
As early as 24 to 48 hours after fertilization begins, pregnancy can be confirmed by detecting a hormone called "early pregnancy factor" in the mother's blood.[29]

Chapter 5 Early Stages (Morula and Blastocyst) and Stem Cells
By 3 to 4 days after fertilization, the dividing cells of the embryo assume a spherical shape and the embryo is called a morula (mōr´ū-lă).[30]
By 4 to 5 days, a cavity forms within this ball of cells and the embryo is then called a blastocyst.[31]
The cells inside the blastocyst are called the inner cell mass and give rise to the head, body, and other structures vital to the developing human.[32]
Cells within the inner cell mass are called embryonic stem cells because they have the ability to form each of the more than 200 cell types contained in the human body.[33]
Chapter 5 Early Stages (Morula and Blastocyst) and Stem Cells
3ta illaa 4ta maalmood kulanka unugyada labka iyo dheddiga kadib, unugyada kala qaybsamaya ee embriyaha waxay qaadanayaan qaab goobaabin embriyahana waxa lagu magacaabaa morula.
4ta illaa 5ta maalmood, god ayaa ka sameysma kubbadda unugyada gudaheeda embriyahana waxa kolkaa lagu magacaabaa blastosist.
Unugyada gudaha blastosist-ka waxa lagu magacaabaa cufka unugga gudaha hoose waxana ka soo baxa madaxa, jirka, iyo qaabab kale muhiim u ah beenii aadamka koraya.
Unugyada ku jira cufka unugga gudaha hoose waxa lagu magacaabaa unugyada jirridda ee embriyaha waayo waxay karti u leeyihiin inay sameeyaan midkasta ee noocyada unug ee 200 ka badan ah ku jira jirka benii aadamka.
Chapter 6 1 to 1½ Weeks: Implantation and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)
After traveling down the uterine tube, the early embryo embeds itself into the inner wall of the mother's uterus. This process, called implantation, begins 6 days and ends 10 to 12 days after fertilization.[34]
Cells from the growing embryo begin to produce a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (human kō-rē-on'ik gō'nad-ō-trō'pin), or hCG, the substance detected by most pregnancy tests.[35]
HCG directs maternal hormones to interrupt the normal menstrual cycle, allowing pregnancy to continue.[36]
Chapter 6 1 to 1½ Weeks: Implantation and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)
Kolka u hoos ugu safro dhuunta minka kadib, Embriyihii bilowga ah wuxu isku dhejiyaa minka hooyada darbigiisa gudaha hoose ah. Hawlgalkan, lagu magacaabo ku tallaalmid Waxay bilaabataa maalinta 6da waxayna dhammaataa 10-12 maalmood kulanka unugyada labka iyo dheddigga kadib.
Unugyada embriyaha koraya ayaa waxay sameynayaan hormoon lagu magacaabo human koriyonik gonadotorobin, ama HCG,oo ah walaxa lagu arko badanaa baaritaannada uurka badankooda.
HCG wuxu ku amraa hormoonnada hooyada inay joojiyaan meerteysiga caadiga ah ee caadada, taasoo u oggolaaneyo uurku inuu sii socdo.
Chapter 7 The Placenta and Umbilical Cord
Following implantation, cells on the periphery of the blastocyst give rise to part of a structure called the placenta (plă-sen'tă), which serves as an interface between the maternal and embryonic circulatory systems.
The placenta delivers maternal oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and medications to the developing human; removes all waste products; and prevents maternal blood from mixing with the blood of the embryo and fetus.[37]
The placenta also produces hormones and maintains embryonic and fetal body temperature slightly above that of the mother's.[38]
The placenta communicates with the developing human through the vessels of the umbilical (ŭm-bil'i-kăl) cord.[39]
The life support capabilities of the placenta rival those of intensive care units found in modern hospitals.
Chapter 7 The Placenta and Umbilical Cord
Ku tallaalmidda kadib, unugyada dhanka dibedda xiga ee blastosist waxa ka soo baxa qayb qaab lagu magacaabo mandheer, oo ka dhex shaqeysa qaababka wareegga dhiigga ee hooyada iyo embriyaha.
Mandheertu waxay gaarsiisaa oxygen, nafaqo, hormoonno, iyo daawooyin ee hooyada benii aadamka koraya; waxay bixisaa soo-saarka qashinka ah; waxayna horistaagtaa in dhiigga hooyadu ku qasmo dhiigga embriyaha iyo uurjiifka.
Mandheertu waxay kaloo soo saartaa hoormoonno waxayna ku haysaa kulka jirka embriyaha ama uurjiifka wax in yar ka sarreeya kan hooyada.
Mandheertu waxay la leedahay benii adam koraya isgaarsiin mareysa xididdada xarigga xuddunta.
Kartida taageeridda nalosha ee mandheerta waxa la tartamaan kuwo qaybaha xannaanada sare oo deg-degga ee isbitaallada casriga.

Chapter 8 Nutrition and Protection
By 1 week, cells of the inner cell mass form two layers called the hypoblast and epiblast.[40]
The hypoblast gives rise to the yolk sac,[41] which is one of the structures through which the mother supplies nutrients to the early embryo.[42]
Cells from the epiblast form a membrane called the amnion (am-nē-on),[43] within which the embryo and later the fetus develop until birth.
Chapter 8 Nutrition and Protection
Usbuuca 1da, unugyada cufka unugga guda hoose waxay sameynayaan labo lakab lagu magacaabo hayboblast iyo ebiblast.
Haypoblast waxa ka soo baxa koleyga nafaqada, oo ka mid ah qaababka ay mariso hooyadu nafaqada ay siinayso embriyaha bilowga ah.
Unugyada ebiblast waxay sameeyaan xuub lagu magacaabo amniyon, oo gudihiisa embriyuhu dabadeedna uurjiifku ku kooraan illaa dhalashada.
Chapter 9 2 to 4 Weeks: Germ Layers and Organ Formation
By approximately 2½ weeks, the epiblast has formed 3 specialized tissues, or germ layers, called ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm.[44]
Ectoderm gives rise to numerous structures including the brain, spinal cord, nerves, skin, nails, and hair.
Endoderm produces the lining of the respiratory system and digestive tract and generates portions of major organs such as the liver and pancreas.
Mesoderm forms the heart, kidneys, bones, cartilage, muscles, blood cells, and other structures.[45]
By 3 weeks the brain is dividing into 3 primary sections called the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.[46]
Development of the respiratory and digestive systems is also underway.[47]
As the first blood cells appear in the yolk sac,[48] blood vessels form throughout the embryo, and the tubular heart emerges.[49]
Almost immediately, the rapidly growing heart folds in upon itself as separate chambers begin to develop.[50]
The heart begins beating 3 weeks and 1 day following fertilization.[51]
The circulatory system is the first body system, or group of related organs, to achieve a functional state.[52]
Chapter 9 2 to 4 Weeks: Germ Layers and Organ Formation
Taqriiban 2 1/2 usbuuc, ebiblast wuxu sameeyay 3 cuf-ungyo oo takhassus leh, ama lakabyo dhala xubno, lagu magacaabo ectoderm, endoderm, iyo mesoderm.
Ectoderm waxa ka soo baxa qaabab badan ay ka mid yihiin maskaxda, xarigga lafdhabarta, dareemeyaasha, maqaarka, ciddiyaha, iyo timaha.
Endoderm wuxu sameeyaa dahaarka qaabka neefsashada iyo dheefshiid mareenka, waxana ka sameysmo xubnaha ugu waaweyn sida beerka iyo beer-ku-taasha.
Mesoderm wuxu sameeyaa wadnaha, kalyaha, lafaha, carjawda, muruqyada, unugyada dhiigga, iyo qaabab kale.
Usbuuca 3da maskaxdu waxay u qaybsameysaa 3 qayb asaasi ah lagu magacaabo maskax-hore, maskax-dhexe, maskax-gadaale.
Sameysamidda qaababka Neefsashahda iyo dheefshiidka ayaa kaloo socda.
Marka ay unugyadii dhiigga ee u horeeyay ay ka soo baxaan koleyga dheefta, xididdo dhiig ayaa ku sameysmayo dhammaan embriyaha, wadnuhuna ahaan buu ku soo baxaysaa.
Ku dhawaad islamarkiiba, wadnaha dhaqsuu u qorayaa wuu isku duubmaa iyadoo qolal gaara ay bilaabanayaan inay sameysmaan.
Wadnuhu wuxu bilaabayaa garaac 3 usbuuc iyo hal maalin kulanka unugyada labka iyo dheddiga kadib.
Qaabka wareegga dhiigga waa qaabka koowaad ee jirka, ama kooxo xubno wada xiriira, gaara xaal hawlqabad.
Chapter 10 3 to 4 Weeks: The Folding of the Embryo
Between 3 and 4 weeks, the body plan emerges as the brain, spinal cord, and heart of the embryo are easily identified alongside the yolk sac.
Rapid growth causes folding of the relatively flat embryo.[53] This process incorporates part of the yolk sac into the lining of the digestive system and forms the chest and abdominal cavities of the developing human.[54]
Chapter 10 3 to 4 Weeks: The Folding of the Embryo
Usbuucyada 3da iyo 4ta dhexdooda, qorshaha jirka ayaa soo baxaya madaama maskaxda, xarigga lafdhabarka, iyo wadnaha embriyaha si sahlan loo aqoonsan karaya Iyagoo uu weheliyo koleyga nafaqadu.
Koriimo degdeg ah waxay sababeysaa laablaabmid embriyaha oo illaa-xad fidsanaa. Hawlgalkaan wuxu ku xirayaa qayb kolayga nafaqada dahaarka qaabka dheefshiidka waxayna sameeyneysaa xabadka iyo godadka caloosha ee benii aadamka koraya.

Moore and Persaud, 2003, 50;

In humans, the term “yolk sac“ has fallen out of favor among some embryologists (including O’Rahilly and Müller) because it is not a nutrient reservoir and does not contain yolk. The technically preferred term is umbilical vesicle. This structure plays a vital role in the transfer of nutrients from mother to embryo before placental circulation becomes fully functional.

Chapter 12 The Heart in Action
The heart typically beats about 113 times per minute.[57]
Note how the heart changes color as blood enters and leaves its chambers with each beat.
The heart will beat approximately 54 million (5.4×107) times before birth and over 3.2 billion (3.2×109) times over the course of an 80-year lifespan.[58]
Chapter 12 The Heart in Action
Wadnuhu wuxu caadi ahaan garaaca 113 jeer daqiiqadiiba.
Fiiri sida wadnuhu u beddelayo midabka marka dhiiggu galayo ama ka baxayo qolalkiisa garaac walba.
Wadnuhu wuxu garaacayaa taqriiban 54 milyan jeer dhalashada ka hor iyo 3.2 bilyan jeer kabadan nolol 80 sano gaarsiisan gudaheeda.
Chapter 14 Limb Buds
Upper and lower limb development begins with the appearance of the limb buds by 4 weeks.[59]
The skin is transparent at this point because it is only one cell thick.
As the skin thickens, it will lose this transparency, which means that we will only be able to watch internal organs develop for about another month.[60]
Chapter 14 Limb Buds
Koridda addimada hore iyo dambe waxay ku bilaabataa soo muuqashada addimada bilowgooda usbuuca 4ta.
Maqaarka waa khafiif wax laga dhex arko xilligan waayo dhumucdiisa waa hal unug keliya.
Uu sii adkaanayo, waxa baaba'ayso in wax laga dhex arko, taaso macnaheedu yahay waxan arki kari doonnaa xubnaha gudaha keliya oo koraya ku dhawaad bil kale.
Chapter 15 5 Weeks: Cerebral Hemispheres
Between 4 and 5 weeks, the brain continues its rapid growth and divides into five distinct sections.[61]
The head comprises about one-third of the embryo's total size.[62]
The cerebral (ser'ĕ-brăl) hemispheres appear,[63] gradually becoming the largest parts of the brain.[64]
Functions eventually controlled by the cerebral hemispheres include thought, learning, memory, speech, vision, hearing, voluntary movement, and problem-solving.[65]
Chapter 15 5 Weeks: Cerebral Hemispheres
4ta iyo 5ta usbuuc dhexdooda, maskaxdu waxay sii wadeysaa koridda degdegga waxayna u qaybsameysaa 5 qaybood kala duwan.
Madaxu wuxu ka kooban yahay 1/3 ee miisaanka dhan ee embriyaha.
Waxa soo baxaya wareega baka ah ee maskaxda, oo tartiib u noqonaysa qaybaha ugu waaweyne ee maskaxda.
Hawlaha ay ugu dambeyntii ay xukunto wareegga barka ah ee maskaxda waxa ka mida fekerka, waxbarashada, xusuusta, hadalka, aragga, maqalka, dhaqdhaqaaqa iskiiska ah, iyo mashkalo-xallinta.

Chapter 16 Major Airways
In the respiratory system, the right and left main stem bronchi (brong'kī) are present[66] and will eventually connect the trachea (trā´kē-ă), or windpipe, with the lungs.
Chapter 17 Liver and Kidneys
Note the massive liver filling the abdomen adjacent to the beating heart.
The permanent kidneys appear by 5 weeks.[67]
Chapter 18 Yolk Sac and Germ Cells
The yolk sac contains early reproductive cells called germ cells. By 5 weeks these germ cells migrate to the reproductive organs adjacent to the kidneys.[68]

Embryonic Development: 6 to 8 Weeks
Chapter 20 6 Weeks: Motion and Sensation
By 6 weeks the cerebral hemispheres are growing disproportionately faster than other sections of the brain.
The embryo begins to make spontaneous and reflexive movements.[71] Such movement is necessary to promote normal neuromuscular development.
A touch to the mouth area causes the embryo to reflexively withdraw its head.[72]
Embryonic Development: 6 to 8 Weeks
Chapter 20 6 Weeks: Motion and Sensation
Ubuuca 6da wareegaa barka ah ee maskaxda waxay u koraysaa si leh xawli aan u dhigmin qaybaha kale.

Chapter 22 The Diaphragm and Intestines
The diaphragm (dī'ă-fram), the primary muscle used in breathing, is largely formed by 6 weeks.[75]
A portion of the intestine now protrudes temporarily into the umbilical cord. This normal process, called physiologic herniation (fiz-ē-ō-loj'ik her-nē-ā'shŭn), makes room for other developing organs in the abdomen.[76]
Chapter 22 The Diaphragm and Intestines

Chapter 31 Right- and Left-Handedness
By 8 weeks, 75 percent of embryos exhibit right-hand dominance. The remainder is equally divided between left-handed dominance and no preference. This is the earliest evidence of right- or left-handed behavior.[93]
Chapter 31 Right- and Left-Handedness
Usbuuca 8da, 75% embriyeyaasha waxa ka muuqda awood dheerada ee gacan-midigle. Waxa haray waxay ugu qaybsan yihiin si isle'eg awood dheerada ee gacan-bidxle iyo kala doorbidid la'aan. Tan waa daliisha ugu horreysa ee dhaqan gacan ku midigle ama bidixle ahaansho.
Chapter 32 Rolling Over
Pediatric textbooks describe the ability to "roll over" as appearing 10 to 20 weeks after birth.[94] However, this impressive coordination is displayed much earlier in the low-gravity environment of the fluid-filled amniotic sac.[95] Only the lack of strength required to overcome the higher gravitational force outside the uterus prevents newborns from rolling over.[96]
The embryo is becoming more physically active during this time.
Motions may be slow or rapid, single or repetitive, spontaneous or reflexive.
Head rotation, neck extension, and hand-to-face contact occur more often.[97]
Touching the embryo elicits squinting, jaw movement, grasping motions, and toe pointing.[98]
Chapter 32 Rolling Over
Buugaagta takhtaridda carruurta waxay tilmaamayaan karti "is-gaddin" inay muuqato 10 ama 20 usbuuca dhalashada kadib. Laakiin, isku-duwiddaan cajiibka ah waxay ku muuqataa xilli sii hore bii'adda leh quwad-jiidasho dhul oo hooseysa ee koleyga amniyon-ka dareeruhu-ka-buuxo la'aanshaha awoodda loogu baahan yahay oo kaliya si looga guuleysto quwad-jiidashada dhulka sarreysa ee minka dibeddiisa ayaa ka horistaageysa dhallaanka inuu is-geddiyo.

Taabashada embriyaha waxay keeneysaa indho dabid, dhaqdhaqaaq qalka, dhaqaaq qabsasho, iyo suul fiiqid.
Chapter 33 Eyelid Fusion
Between 7 and 8 weeks, the upper and lower eyelids rapidly grow over the eyes and partially fuse together.[99]
Chapter 34 "Breathing" Motion and Urination
Although there is no air in the uterus, the embryo displays intermittent breathing motions by 8 weeks.[100]
By this time, kidneys produce urine which is released into the amniotic fluid.[101]
In male embryos, the developing testes begin to produce and release testosterone (tes-tos´tĕ-rōn).[102]
Chapter 34 "Breathing" Motion and Urination
Inkastoo uusan minku lahayn hawo embriyuhu wuxu muujinayaa dhaqaaq neefsasho kala go'aysa usbuuca 8da.

Embriyaha labka ah, xiniinyaha koraya waxay bilaabayaan inay sameeyaan siina-daayan testosteroon.
Chapter 35 The Limbs and Skin
The bones, joints, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels of the limbs closely resemble those in adults.[103]
By 8 weeks the epidermis, or outer skin, becomes a multi-layered membrane,[104] losing much of its transparency.
Eyebrows grow as hair appears around the mouth.[105]
Chapter 35 The Limbs and Skin
Lafaha, kala-goysyada, muruqyada, dareemeyaasha, iyo xididdada dhiigga ee addimmada waxay aad ugu eg-yihiin kuwa qaangaarka.

Chapter 36 Summary of the First 8 Weeks
Eight weeks marks the end of the embryonic period.
During this time, the human embryo has grown from a single cell into the nearly 1 billion (109) cells[106] which form over 4,000 (4×103) distinct anatomic structures.
The embryo now possesses more than 90 percent of the structures found in adults.[107]
Chapter 36 Summary of the First 8 Weeks
Siddeeda usbuuca ah wuxu calaamad u tahay dhammaadka xilligii embriyaha.

The Fetal Period (8 Weeks through Birth)
Chapter 37 9 Weeks: Swallows, Sighs, and Stretches
The fetal period continues until birth.
By 9 weeks, thumb sucking begins[108] and the fetus can swallow amniotic fluid.[109]
The fetus can also grasp an object,[110] move the head forward and back, open and close the jaw, move the tongue, sigh,[111] and stretch.[112]
Nerve receptors in the face, the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet can sense light touch.[113]
"In response to a light touch on the sole of the foot," the fetus will bend the hip and knee and may curl the toes.[114]
The eyelids are now completely closed.[115]
In the larynx, the appearance of vocal ligaments signals the onset of vocal cord development.[116]
In female fetuses, the uterus is identifiable[117] and immature reproductive cells called oogonia (ō-ō-gō′nē-ă) are replicating within the ovary.[118]
External genitalia begin to distinguish themselves as either male or female.[119]

Chapter 38 10 Weeks: Rolls Eyes and Yawns, Fingernails & Fingerprints
A burst of growth between 9 and 10 weeks increases body weight by over 75 percent.[120]
By 10 weeks, stimulation of the upper eyelid causes a downward rolling of the eye.[121]
The fetus yawns and often opens and closes the mouth.[122]
Most fetuses suck the right thumb.[123]
Sections of intestine within the umbilical cord are returning to the abdominal cavity.[124]
Ossification is underway in most bones.[125]
Fingernails and toenails begin to develop.[126]
Unique fingerprints appear 10 weeks after fertilization. These patterns can be used for identification throughout life.[127]
Chapter 38 10 Weeks: Rolls Eyes and Yawns, Fingernails & Fingerprints

Chapter 39 11 Weeks: Absorbs Glucose and Water
By 11 weeks the nose and lips are completely formed.[128] As with every other body part, their appearance will change at each stage of the human life cycle.
The intestine starts to absorb glucose and water swallowed by the fetus.[129]
Though sex is determined at fertilization, external genitalia can now be distinguished as male or female.[130]

Chapter 40 3 to 4 Months (12 to 16 Weeks): Taste Buds, Jaw Motion, Rooting Reflex, Quickening
Between 11 and 12 weeks, fetal weight increases nearly 60 percent.[131]
Twelve weeks marks the end of the first third, or trimester, of pregnancy.
Distinct taste buds now cover the inside of the mouth. By birth, taste buds will remain only on the tongue and roof of the mouth.[132]
Bowel movements begin as early as 12 weeks and continue for about 6 weeks.[133]
The material first expelled from the fetal and newborn colon is called meconium (mĭ-kō'nē-ŭm).[134] It is composed of digestive enzymes, proteins, and dead cells shed by the digestive tract.[135]
By 12 weeks, upper limb length has nearly reached its final proportion to body size. The lower limbs take longer to attain their ultimate proportions.[136]
With the exception of the back and the top of the head, the body of the entire fetus now responds to light touch.[137]
Sex-dependent developmental differences appear for the first time. For instance, female fetuses exhibit jaw movement more frequently than males.[138]
In contrast to the withdrawal response seen earlier, stimulation near the mouth now evokes a turning toward the stimulus and an opening of the mouth.[139] This response is called the "rooting reflex" and it persists after birth, helping the newborn find his or her mother's nipple during breastfeeding.[140]
The face continues to mature as fat deposits begin to fill out the cheeks[141] and tooth development begins.[142]
By 15 weeks, blood-forming stem cells arrive and multiply in the bone marrow. Most blood cell formation will occur here.[143]
Although movement begins in the 6-week embryo, a pregnant woman first senses fetal movement between 14 and 18 weeks.[144] Traditionally, this event has been called quickening.[145]

Chapter 41 4 to 5 Months (16 to 20 Weeks): Stress Response, Vernix Caseosa, Circadian Rhythms
By 16 weeks, procedures involving the insertion of a needle into the abdomen of the fetus trigger a hormonal stress response releasing noradrenalin, or norepinephrin (nor-ep'i-nef'rin), into the bloodstream.[146]
In the respiratory system, the bronchial tree is now nearly complete.[147]
A protective white substance, called vernix caseosa (ver'niks caseo'sa), now covers the fetus. Vernix protects the skin from the irritating effects of amniotic fluid.[148]
From 19 weeks fetal movement, breathing activity, and heart rate begin to follow daily cycles called circadian (ser-kā'dē-ăn) rhythms.[149]
Chapter 41 4 to 5 Months (16 to 20 Weeks): Stress Response, Vernix Caseosa, Circadian Rhythms

Chapter 42 5 to 6 Months (20 to 24 Weeks): Responds to Sound; Hair and Skin; Age of Viability
By 20 weeks the cochlea, which is the organ of hearing, has reached adult size[150] within the fully developed inner ear. From now on, the fetus will respond to a growing range of sounds.[151]
Hair begins to grow on the scalp.
All skin layers and structures are present, including hair follicles and glands.[152]
By 21 to 22 weeks after fertilization, the lungs gain some ability to breathe air.[153] This is considered the age of viability because survival outside the womb becomes possible for some fetuses.[154]
Chapter 42 5 to 6 Months (20 to 24 Weeks): Responds to Sound; Hair and Skin; Age of Viability
Usbuuca 20ka kokliya, oo ah xubinta maqalka, waxay ku dhex gaartay qiyaasta ruuxa qaangaarka dhegta gudaha ku sii jirta oo si dhammeystiran u korsan. Haatan wixi ka dambeeya, uurjiifku wuxu ka jawaabi doonaa shanqaro kala duwan oo kordhaya.

O’Rahilly and Müller, 2001, 92, report the age of viability as 20 weeks postfertilization; Draper et al., 1999, 1094, report a survival rate of 2% at 20 weeks postfertilization, 6% at 21 weeks, and 16% at 22 weeks. Moore
and Persaud, 2003, 103, report viability at 22 weeks;
Wood et al., 2000, 379, report survival rates of 11% at 21 weeks, 26% at 22 weeks and 44% at 23 weeks (postfertilization weeks) based on premature birth data from the United Kingdom during 1995. Cooper et al. 1998, 976, (Figure 2) report infants with a birth weight over 500 grams experienced survival rates (all approximate) of 28% at 21 weeks postfertilization, 50% at 22 weeks, 67% at 23 weeks, and 77% at 24 weeks. Draper et al., 2003, updated their previously published survival tables for premature infants and now report an overall survival rate of 7% at 20 weeks, 15% at 21 weeks, 29% at 22 weeks, 47% at 23 weeks and 65% at 24 weeks. [All ages corrected to reflect postfertilization age.] These survival tables are available online at http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/319/7217/1093/DC1. Their methodology is described in their earlier paper (Draper et al., 1999, 1093-1094.) Note: These published survival tables reflect postmenstrual ages. Hoekstra et al., 2004, e3, report a survival rate of 66% at 23 weeks and 81% at 24 weeks “gestational age“ [not specifically defined] for premature births from 1996 to 2000 at their center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Chapter 43 6 to 7 Months (24 to 28 Weeks): Blink-Startle; Pupils Respond to Light; Smell and Taste
By 24 weeks the eyelids reopen[155] and the fetus exhibits a blink-startle response.[156] This reaction to sudden, loud noises typically develops earlier in the female fetus.[157]
Several investigators report exposure to loud noise may adversely affect fetal health. Immediate consequences include prolonged increased heart rate, excessive fetal swallowing, and abrupt behavioral changes.[158] Possible long-term consequences include hearing loss.[159]
The fetal respiratory rate can rise as high as 44 inhalation-exhalation cycles per minute.[160]
During the third trimester of pregnancy, rapid brain growth consumes more than 50 percent of the energy used by the fetus. Brain weight increases between 400 and 500 percent.[161]
By 26 weeks the eyes produce tears.[162]
The pupils respond to light as early as 27 weeks.[163] This response regulates the amount of light reaching the retina[164] throughout life.
All components required for a functioning sense of smell are operational. Studies of premature babies reveal the ability to detect odors as early as 26 weeks after fertilization.[165]
Placing a sweet substance in the amniotic fluid increases the rate of fetal swallowing. In contrast, decreased fetal swallowing follows the introduction of a bitter substance. Altered facial expressions often follow.[166]
Through a series of step-like leg motions similar to walking, the fetus performs somersaults.[167]
The fetus appears less wrinkled as additional fat deposits form beneath the skin.[168] Fat plays a vital role in maintaining body temperature and storing energy after birth.

Chapter 44 7 to 8 Months (28 to 32 Weeks): Sound Discrimination, Behavioral States
By 28 weeks the fetus can distinguish between high- and low-pitched sounds.[169]
By 30 weeks, breathing movements are more common and occur 30 to 40 percent of the time in an average fetus.[170]
During the last 4 months of pregnancy, the fetus displays periods of coordinated activity punctuated by periods of rest. These behavioral states reflect the ever-increasing complexity of the central nervous system.[171]
Chapter 44 7 to 8 Months (28 to 32 Weeks): Sound Discrimination, Behavioral States
Usbuuca 28da uurjiifku wuxu kala saari karaa heerka dhawaaqa sare iyo heerka gaaban.
Usbuuca 30ka, dhaqdhaqaaqyo neefsashadu waa caadi waxayna ka dhacaan 30 illa 40% ee waqtiga uurjiifka caadiga ah.

Chapter 45 8 to 9 Months (32 to 36 Weeks): Alveoli Formation, Firm Grasp, Taste Preferences
By approximately 32 weeks, true alveoli (al-vē'ō-lī), or air "pocket" cells, begin developing in the lungs. They will continue to form until 8 years after birth.[172]
At 35 weeks the fetus has a firm hand grasp.[173]
Fetal exposure to various substances appears to affect flavor preferences after birth. For instance, fetuses whose mothers consumed anise, a substance which gives licorice its taste, showed a preference for anise after birth. Newborns without fetal exposure disliked anise.[174]
Chapter 45 8 to 9 Months (32 to 36 Weeks): Alveoli Formation, Firm Grasp, Taste Preferences
Taqriiban usbuuca 32da, Alfiyoli run ah, ama unugyo hawo "ka buuxdo" , ayaa bilaabmaya inay ku sameysmaan sanbabada. Waxay sii wadi doonaan inay sameysmaan illaa 8 sano dhalashada kadib.
Usbuuca 35ka uurjiifku wuxu leeyahay gacan wax ku qabsasho adag.
Uurjiifka oo la kulma walaxyo kala duwan waxay u egtahay inay saameyso kala doorbidid dhadhamo. Tusaale, uurjiifyo hooyadood cuni jirtay anise, walaxa siiya likorays dhadhankeeda, waxay mujiiyeen doorbidid anise dhalashada kadib. Hadda-dhaleyga aan hore ula kulmin ma jecla anise.
Chapter 46 9 Months to Birth (36 Weeks through Birth)
The fetus initiates labor[175] by releasing large amounts of a hormone called estrogen (es´trō-jen)[176] and thus begins the transition from fetus to newborn.
Labor is marked by powerful contractions of the uterus, resulting in childbirth.[177]
From fertilization to birth and beyond, human development is dynamic, continuous, and complex. New discoveries about this fascinating process increasingly show the vital impact of fetal development on lifelong health.
As our understanding of early human development advances, so too will our ability to enhance health––both before and after birth.
Chapter 46 9 Months to Birth (36 Weeks through Birth)
Uurjiifka wuxu bilaabayaa fool isagoo sii daayo in badan ee hormoonka lagu magacaabo estrogen waxana sida ku bilaabanaya kala-guurka min uurjiif illaa hadda-dhaley.
Foosha caalamad u ah isku-ururid iyo kala-bixid ee minka, oo keenta cunug dhalidda.
Min kulanka unugyada labka iyo dhiddigga illaa dhalashada iya ka shishe, koritaanka benii aadamku waa firfircoon yahay, waa isdabajoog waana iskudhaf adag. Waxyaabo cusub oo laga ogaaday hawlgalkaan cajiibka leh waxay si istaraysa u muujinayaan muhiimadda saameynta koridda uurjiifku ku yeelaneyso caafimaadka nolosha oo dhan.
Sida fahamkeenna koritaanka hore ee benii aadamka u sii horumarayo, sidaa si le'eg ayay u horumari doontaa kartideenna inan sare u qaadno caafimaadka dhalashada kahor iyo kadibba.

Appendix A − Calculations
To the Sun and Back: Determining the Length of DNA in an Adult
Given:
1. The DNA molecule measures 3.4×10-9 meters per 10 base pairs.[178]
2. There are 3 billion (3×109) base pairs per cell.
3. There are an estimated 100 trillion (1014) cells per adult.
4. The distance from the earth to the sun is approximately 93 million miles.
5. There are 2.54 centimeters (cm) per inch.
Step 1 Compute the length of DNA in a single cell:
3.4×10-9 meters/10 base pairs × 3×109 base pairs/cell = 1.02 meters of DNA per cell
Step 2 Compute the total length of DNA in an adult’s 100 trillion cells:
1.02 meters of DNA/cell × 1014 cells = 1.02×1014 meters of DNA per adult*
Step 3 Convert 1.02×1014 meters to miles:
1.02×1014 meters × 100 cm/meter × 1inch/2.54 cm × 1 foot/12 inches × 1 mile/5,280 feet
= 6.3379×1010miles of DNA
Step 4 Compute how many round trips from the earth to the sun:
6.3379×1010 miles of DNA ÷ (93,000,000 miles/trip × 2 trips/round trip) =
Therefore, the DNA in a single adult, if oriented in linear fashion, would exceed 63 billion miles in length. This is long enough to extend from the earth to the sun and back––340 times.
* Approximately 25 trillion red blood cells are present in the adult.[179] It should be noted that red blood cells contain DNA early in their maturation phase but this DNA degenerates and is not present in the mature form. This calculation includes the DNA from red blood cells.

A Tight Squeeze: Appreciating the Number of Bases Contained in the DNA of a Single Cell
The following page contains a list of 3,808 capital letters each of which represents a single base.
Given:
1. A, G, T, and C each represent a base within the DNA of a single cell.
2. Each line contains 68 letters without spaces representing 68 bases.
3. Each page contains 56 lines. (Page size: 8½ × 11 inches, font: Times New Roman, font size: 10, spaces between letters: none, lines: single spaced, margins: as shown)
4. Each cell contains 3 billion base pairs equaling 6 billion bases.
The calculation of the number of pages required to list all DNA bases in a single cell is as follows:
68 bases/line × 56 lines/page = 3,808 bases/page
6,000,000,000 bases/cell ÷ 3,808 bases/page = 1,575,630 pages/cell

Climate Control: Approximating the Normal Range of Embryonic and Fetal Body Temperature
Given:
1. The placenta maintains embryonic and fetal temperature between 0.5 ºC and 1.5 ºC above maternal core temperature.[180]
2. Maternal core temperature is approximately 99.6º Fahrenheit.
3. The formula to convert temperature from Fahrenheit (ºF) to Celsius (ºC) is:
ºC = 5/9 (ºF - 32)
The calculation to compute the range of embryonic and fetal body temperature is as follows:
Step 1 Convert maternal core temperature to Celsius:
Maternal core temperature in ºC: ºC = 5/9 (99.6 - 32) = 37.56 ºC
Step 2 Compute lower and upper ranges of fetal body temperature in Celsius:
Lower range (Celsius) = maternal core temperature + 0.5 ºC = 37.56 + 0.5 = 38.2 ºC
Upper range (Celsius) = maternal core temperature + 1.5 ºC = 37.56 + 1.5 = 39.2 ºC
Step 3 Convert results to Fahrenheit:
ºC = 5/9 (ºF - 32) 9/5 ºC = (ºF - 32) ºF = 9/5 ºC + 32
Substituting to find the lower limit of fetal body temperature
ºF = 9/5 ºC + 32 ºF = 9/5 (38.16) + 32 ºF = 100.7º
Substituting to find the upper limit of fetal body temperature
ºF = 9/5 ºC + 32 ºF = 9/5 (39.16) + 32 ºF = 102.5º
Summary of Normal Embryonic and Fetal Body Temperature Range
| ºF | ºC | |
|---|---|---|
| Lower Limit | 100.7 | 38.2 |
| Upper Limit | 102.5 | 39.2 |

The Beat Goes On: Estimating the Total Number of Heartbeats Before Birth and Beyond
The Embryonic Period
Various authors agree the heart rate peaks at 7 weeks. Reported heart rates vary however. Van Heeswijk et al. report a peak heart rate of 167 ± 8 beats per minute (bpm)[181] while Leeuwen et al. report a peak rate of 175 bpm.[182] Van Lith et al. report the median fetal heart rate peaks at 177 bpm at 7 weeks.[183] One hundred seventy (170) bpm has been chosen as the peak heart rate for illustration purposes in this calculation. The heart rate for the various weeks from 7 through 38 have been calculated via linear interpolations[184] assuming heart rates of 170 bpm at 7 weeks and 140 bpm at term or 38 weeks.[185]
(Note: Heart rates are estimated. Living conditions and individual experience can and will vary.)

There is international agreement among embryologists that human development during the embryonic period be divided into 23 stages (which were initially proposed by Mall, described by Streeter, and amended by O'Rahilly and Müller in 1987).[190] These have come to be known as Carnegie Stages. Particular internal and external features are required for inclusion in any given embryonic stage. These stages are independent of age and length and the use of the term 'stage' should be reserved for reference to this system per O'Rahilly and Müller in multiple publications.
Along with nearly-universal acceptance of the human embryonic staging system, a variety of age assignments have been proposed for each embryonic stage. Streeter believed the embryonic period spanned a 47- to 48-day period instead of the 56-day period accepted today. The Endowment for Human Development adopts the convention set forth by O'Rahilly and Müller in 1987 which has received widespread, but not universal, acceptance. O'Rahilly and Müller have since proposed amending this convention in light of transvaginal ultrasound data through a personal communication with Dr. Josef Wisser in 1992.[191] These alternate proposals are provided for the interested reader.
For instance, the onset of embryonic cardiac contraction (onset of the heartbeat) has long been described as a Carnegie Stage 10 or possibly a late Stage 9 event.[192] We report this event occurring at an age of 3 weeks, 1 day (22 days) postfertilization using the 1987 convention. Others may report this occurrence at 28 or 29 days as shown above. Of interest is a paper by Wisser and Dirschedl who reported using transvaginal ultrasound to visualize the embryonic heartbeat 23 days postfertilization in two embryos fertilized in vitro “with exactly known … age” and “in embryos from 2 mm of greatest length onwards.”[193] This finding most closely coincides with the 1987 age convention. Schats et al. reported the earliest cardiac activity at 25 days after follicle aspiration in embryos conceived in vitro.[194] Tezuka et al. reported the earliest cardiac activity at 23 days postfertilization in embryos conceived naturally.[195]
There is considerable variation in normal human development during the postnatal period. The prenatal period is no different with variations in the size, rate of growth, and order of appearance of some structures or functions. No one knows the exact age range for each stage with absolute certainty. These approximations may change in the future as additional knowledge is gained through careful, published research.
