List and briefly characterize the three trimesters of gestation
For convenience, we think of the gestation period as consisting of three integrated trimesters, each lasting 3 months in duration: (1 ) The first trimester is the period of embryological and early fetal development. During this period, the rudiments of all the major organ systems appear. (2 ) The second trimester is dominated by the development of organs and organ systems, a process that nears completion by the end of the sixth month. During this period, body shape and proportions change; by the end of this trimester, the fetus looks distinctively human. (3 ) The third trimester is characterized by rapid fetal growth and deposition of adipose tissue. Early in the third trimester, most of the fetus's major organ systems become fully functional.
