-| This page shows some key events of human development during the fetal period (weeks 9 to 37) following fertilization. The long Fetal period (4x the embryonic period) is a time of extensive growth in size and mass as well as ongoing differentiation of organ systems established in the embryonic period. Clinically this period is generally described as the [[Second Trimester]] and [[Third Trimester]]. Many of the critical measurements of growth are now carried out by [[ultrasound]] and this period ends at [[Birth|birth]].
-Many different systems formed in the embryonic period (organogenesis) grow and differentiate further during the fetal period and do so at different times. For example, the brain continues to grow and develop extensively during this period (and postnatally), the respiratory system differentiates (and completes only just before birth), the urogenital system further differentiates between male/female, endocrine and gastrointestinal tract begins to function.  Also consider the systems (respiratory, cardiac, neural) that will still not have their final organization and function determined until after birth.
