Question

which of the following is the longest period of gestation in which organs grow and mature?
umbilical

Explanation:

• The embryonic period (weeks 3 - 8) is for organogenesis (formation of organs).
• The fetal period (week 9 - birth) is the longest. Organs grow and mature during this time.
• Umbilical refers to the cord, not a gestation period.
• Uterine is too general; the fetal period is more specific for organ growth/maturation.
