The limbic system is the area of the brain most heavily implicated in emotion and memory. Its structures include the hypothalamus, thalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus. The hypothalamus plays a role in the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is a part of any emotional reaction.

Q. Which of the following best defines teratogen?
Teratogen: Any agent that can disturb the development of an embryo or fetus. Teratogens may cause a birth defect in the child. Or a teratogen may halt the pregnancy outright. The classes of teratogens include radiation, maternal infections, chemicals, and drugs.
Q. Is poverty a teratogen?
Children born into homelessness or poverty are more likely to have mothers who are malnourished, who suffer from domestic violence, stress, and other psychological problems, and who smoke or abuse drugs. And children born into poverty are also more likely to be exposed to teratogens.
Q. What period of pregnancy is very sensitive to teratogens?
The embryonic period, during which organogenesis takes place, occurs between implantation at around 14 days to around 60 days postconception. This is usually the most sensitive period to teratogenesis when exposure to a teratogenic agent has the greatest likelihood of producing a malformation.
Q. What is the most critical part of pregnancy?
The first trimester is the most critical time in your pregnancy. Although the fetus at the end of three months is only about 4 inches long and weighs less than 1 ounce, all of its functions have begun to form — major organs and nervous system, heartbeat, arms, fingers, legs, toes, hair, and buds for future teeth.
Q. Which period of pregnancy is more critical?
The first trimester is the most crucial to your baby’s development. During this period, your baby’s body structure and organ systems develop. Most miscarriages and birth defects occur during this period. Your body also undergoes major changes during the first trimester.
Q. What is the most critical period of pregnancy?
In general, major defects of the body and internal organs are more likely to occur between 3 to 12 embryo / fetal weeks. This is the same as 5 to 14 gestational weeks (weeks since the first day of your last period). This is also referred to as the first trimester.
Q. What trimester is the hardest?
The first trimester of pregnancy can often be the hardest. Pregnancy hormones, extreme fatigue, nausea and vomiting, tender breasts, and perpetually needing to wee make life growing a human no easy feat.
Q. What weeks do birth defects occur?
Birth defects can occur during any stage of pregnancy. Most birth defects occur in the first 3 months of pregnancy, when the organs of the baby are forming. This is a very important stage of development. However, some birth defects occur later in pregnancy.
Q. What are the rarest birth defects?
What are rare birth defects?
- Muscular dystrophy.
- Osteogenesis imperfecta.
- Progeria.
- Smith Lemli Opitz syndrome.
- Spinal muscular atrophy.
- Tuberous sclerosis.
- Turner syndrome.
- X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (Duncan disease)
Q. What birth defects are most common?
If a baby is born with a part of the body that is missing or malformed, it is called a structural birth defect. Heart defects are the most common type of structural defect. Others include spina bifida, cleft palate, clubfoot, and congenital dislocated hip.
Q. What is the second most common birth defect?
Down syndrome, a genetic condition, came in second. More than 5,400 babies per year are born with Down syndrome, according to the CDC.
Q. Can you prevent birth defects?
Birth defects cannot always be prevented, but there are many aspects of prenatal care that can protect your unborn baby. If your baby does have a birth defect or fetal condition, treatments are now available that have revolutionized an affected baby’s ability to survive and thrive after birth.
Q. What are the 4 categories of birth defects?
What are the types of birth defects?
- Cleft lip or cleft palate.
- Heart defects, such as missing or misshaped valves.
- Abnormal limbs, such as a clubfoot.
- Neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, and problems related to the growth and development of the brain and spinal cord.
Q. What are the two most dangerous and most common teratogens?
The most common malformations include craniofacial dysmorphisms, cleft palate, thymic aplasia, and neural tube defects. The tranquilizer thalidomide is one of the most famous and notorious teratogens.
