Prenatal Development Exam Bank
Course Introduction
Prenatal Development explores the complex processes that occur from conception to birth, examining both genetic and environmental factors that influence a developing fetus. The course covers key stages including germinal, embryonic, and fetal periods, and highlights physical, cognitive, and behavioral developments throughout pregnancy. Students will study the impact of prenatal care, nutrition, maternal health, and potential risk factors such as teratogens on the health and outcomes for both mother and child. Emphasis is placed on current research, ethical issues, and the practical implications of understanding human development before birth.
