Q

What is the critical period?

A

Period of the embryo when a lot of important support structures are being made

19
Q

Development of support systems for period of the zygote.

A

Amnion (amniotic fluid)→ amniotic sac; support structure for zygote itself,
Chorian→ eventually develops into placenta; provide exchange of gasses and nutrients with baby
Placenta → exchange of oxygen and nutrients
Umbilical Cord→ Waste removal
