Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Basic organ systems are developed during the embryonic period.
B The organs are always at risk for damage from external sources; however, the
older the fetus, the more resistant the organs will be. The greatest risk is when
the organs are developing.
C During the fetal period, the body systems grow in size and mature in function to
allow independent existence after birth.
D The placental system is complete by week 12, but that is not the best description
of the fetal period.

anxious during labor and delivery.
