At ten weeks of pregnancy, the embryo’s brain grows and expands as it produces 250,000 new neurons each minute [1]. The embryo’s head, which now contains the major brain structures, is almost as large as the rest of the embryo’s body [2].
Through ossification, bone starts replacing skeletal cartilage [2]. Ossification begins in the femoral bones (long thigh bones) [3]. Teeth buds appear [1].
As the kidneys start working, the amniotic fluid now includes fetal urine [2]. The external genitals of female and male embryos are forming but remain structurally identical [2]. Male embryos start producing testosterone [1].
This week marks the last of the embryonic phase. The rudimentary structures and functions of the embryo’s organ systems will finish their initial development [2,4].
