Explanation:

Identify the outer embryonic germ layer

The question asks for the outer layer in the embryonic stage that forms the skin, hair, teeth, sense organs, brain, and spinal cord.

• Ectoderm is the outermost layer, which develops into the nervous system (brain, spinal cord) and integumentary system (skin, hair, teeth).
• Mesoderm forms muscles, bones, and the circulatory system.
• Endoderm forms internal linings of digestive and respiratory tracts.
• Placenta is an organ, not a germ layer.

Identify the final part of the first stage of labor

The second question asks for the period during the final part of the first stage of labor when contractions increase to their greatest intensity.

• The first stage of labor consists of three phases: latent, active, and transition.
• Transition is the final phase of the first stage, characterized by the most intense contractions as the cervix dilates from 8 to 10 centimeters.
• Braxton-Hicks are practice contractions.
• Birth occurs during the second stage.
• Episiotomy is a surgical incision.
