Question
Chapter 23, Problem 1GFO
Summary Introduction
To write:
Effect of exposure to alcohol and smoking when the baby is in the womb.
Introduction:
Exposure to alcohol and smoke is a major reason for birth defects and disabilities. Babies, who are exposed to alcohol and cigarettes during the embryonic stage, may suffer from many disorders such as low I.Q. level, retardation in growth and defects in the major organ system.

Students have asked these similar questions
State the roles of progesterone and estrogen in fetal development.
During pregnancy, how does malnutrition during critical periods of development affect the fetus?
Group of answer choices
When the development of an organ is impaired, the damage is irreversible.
If the development of the heart is impaired in the early stages, it can be reversed if good nutrition is provided after the critical period.
Malnutrition does not affect the fetus but has adverse effects on the mother's health.
Malnutrition does not cause dental problems as teeth develop after the baby is born.
A surplus of nutrients taken after the critical period will make up for a deficit caused at any time during development.
During the organogenesis stage, several of the five essential developmental processes take place.
Choose two of these essential processes and describe how and when they occur during the
organogenesis stage. Be specific about the cells, tissues, and organs involved and the results.
