Question

All the major organs of the body are formed by week 10 of gestation. Which process makes this possible?

Answer 1

• The process that makes it possible for all of the body's major organs to be formed by the tenth week of gestation is known as differentiation.
• The process of differentiation starts around the fifth week of pregnancy where the embryo begins to develop most of its internal organs as well as external body structures.
• The process continues until the tenth week of pregnancy and the only organs or parts of the body that are not developed at this point are the brain and the spinal cord.
