Wikipedia

  1. fetal

    A fetus or foetus (; plural fetuses, feti, foetuses, or foeti) is the unborn offspring that develops from an animal embryo. Following embryonic development the fetal stage of development takes place. In human prenatal development, fetal development begins from the ninth week after fertilization (or eleventh week gestational age) and continues until birth. Prenatal development is a continuum, with no clear defining feature distinguishing an embryo from a fetus. However, a fetus is characterized by the presence of all the major body organs, though they will not yet be fully developed and functional and some not yet situated in their final anatomical location.

    Fetal refers to anything related to a fetus, which is an unborn or unhatched offspring that is still developing, specifically between the embryonic stage (following fertilization) and birth in humans. Generally, this term is used in the context of mammals, but it can also apply to other animals that give birth to live young. It pertains to the developmental stage of an organism after it has taken a rough physical form but is not yet born or hatched. It encompasses all the processes, characteristics, medical conditions, and other aspects related to the fetus.
