The heart begins to beat by the 3rd week of gestation; the GI tract begins to develop around week 4 . A primitive nervous system is present by the 3rd week and the brain is differentiated by the 4th week. Limb buds for both arms and legs form at 4 weeks, and by 8 weeks the hands and feet are well formed, so they form at the same time. Limb buds for both arms and legs develop before the hands and feet.
