Identify the general critical periods of fetal vulnerability to teratogens
What will be an ideal response?
Exposure to particular teratogens is most harmful during critical periods that correspond to times when organs are developing. For example, the heart develops rapidly in the third to fifth weeks after conception, and so is most vulnerable to certain teratogens at this time. The arms and legs are most vulnerable in the fourth to eights weeks. The major organ systems are most vulnerable during the embryonic stages. Some teratogens are harmful throughout the entire course of prenatal development.
