Baby in the first weeks of development
In the first week of pregnancy, three embryonic sheets are formed from cells that are continuously divided. Further from each, strictly defined tissues and organs will be formed. The middle leaf is the beginning of the chord - the future spine, also the skeletal muscles, cartilage, internal organs, blood vessels, lymph, sex glands and membranes that line all the body cavities.
Cells of the outer leaf give rise to skin integuments, integumentary dental tissue, epithelial ear tissue, eyes, nose, hair and nails. In addition, the entire nervous system of the baby will begin to develop from the outer leaf. From the cells of the internal sheet, the epithelial lining of the organs of the digestive system, respiration, epithelium of the pancreas and liver is formed.
By the end of the first month, the embryo's blood is being circulated, forming the umbilical cord, which connects the embryo and the future placenta. By this time he already has cavities in his eyes, rudiments of legs and hands. Formed and developed internal organs: liver, kidneys, urinary tract, digestive organs.
In the first 3 to 4 weeks of the onset of pregnancy, the influence of harmful factors - various infections, medications, physical exertion, stress, fun parties - is fatal, because only the organs and the system of the future person are laid. You still do not have confidence in a possible pregnancy, and the embryo already has a heartbeat. On the 21st day after conception, he develops the brain and spinal cord. In case of violation of these processes, severe developmental anomalies arise, but the embryo can survive, unlike the previous week. The future boy or girl is similar to the auricle - 4 mm, which is surrounded by a small amount of amniotic fluid.
