At 24 weeks of pregnancy, what organs/features has the foetus developed?

Well, my girlfriend is 30 weeks pregnant and we've been reading books all about it.\nAt 24 weeks, the baby now has a heart, a brain, hands, legs, feet, toes, ears, mouth, nose, eyes and even eyebrows!\n\nYes, the spine and brain are what develops first even before all the limbs...So at 24 weeks all of that is very much developed!\n\nThe feotus now looks like a real human being and from now on it will get bigger and the lungs are all thats left to really develop

That is perfectly normal.   Check out this link  http://www.med.upenn.edu/fetus/gestage.html

A fertilized egg will develop and grow and one day enter the world where it will be given a name. \n\nAnyone can argue that it is not human until it breathes but, even they must admit by aborting the fetus it is prevented from being born. \n\nA fetus has a heartbeat. Abortion stops that heartbeat. Think about it.

Mmm some very daft (but amusing) answers to this one. The real reason is all embryos start out female until about six weeks when the male sex chromosome kicks in for a male embryo. The embryo then begins to develop all of its male characteristics. Men are left with nipples and also some breast tissue.

I'm no scientist, but the belly button is a bit more than just a scar.  The baby's body has to reroute it's interior plumbing, and this is a "dead end" that has been closed off.  (The baby now breathes air and gets oxygen through the lungs, and gets it's nutrition through drinking milk.)    The umbilical cord was the major artery (coming in) and vein (going out for waste.) The closed off former cord heals quite remarkably.  Occasionally the stomach muscles will not knit together in this area, causing an umbilical hernia.  I had this condition, and had to have it surgically repaired when I was 4.\n\nA much more philosophical question is to ask, did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?  ;-)

During pregnancy, the fetus inside the womb undergoes constant change in formation before finally being born.  All fetuses start off female, and require an extra hormone (XY chromosome) to start forming into a male.  So the nipples form before the male hormones are sent to the fetus.\n\nThere is one point in pregnancy where the fetus resembles a fish-like stage.  This is why humans have webbing in fingers and toes.  Crazy stuff, huh?

i am not sure what you are asking the only MA i came across is medical abortion. and that is usually before 20 weeks gestation\n\nmiscarriages are a very sad and unfortunate fact of life, i have had two. but have a look at this link:   http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=106&STORY=/www/story/06-20-2005/0003925017&EDATE=\n\nalso if you type in "tests for miscarriages" in the search engine there will be loads of info for you there....\n\ni hope this helps even if its only a little bit

as the haploid zygote have come together, and the embryo is formed, the cells begin to replicate, and the DNA begins to code for the basic features that will be present. by this stage, in animals that give birth to live young, the young have broke out of the microscopic eggs, but in animals that lay eggs, the developing embryo remains in the egg where it takes advantage of the nutritious yolk. The embryos now have a heart, and developing brain, and they are developing limbs. the genes, then, begin to code for more body parts, like the liver, kidneys etc. if, at any time, a gene is misread, then problems, like dieases ans disorders can develope, eg downs syndrome. as the amimal is approaching birth, the growing foetus developes more specific features, eg eye colour, and hair colour. as the foetus is fully developed, the mother bigins to give birth, or lay eggs.

It starts WAY before the human being is born. The original cells that become specialized to move fluid within the embryonic cluster, begin to beat at just a few days after conception.

because u need special cells for thet called germ cells. these cells present in foetus and help in develoing organs when it is in womb. besides that its not as easy. it will need lots of research work to do so.

baby gaining weight- Physical\ngrass growing - physical\nleg healing - Not sure but i think its physical

There is tons of information out there but check out the attached link which shows the different stages of development.  It should have everything you are looking for.\n\nhttp://www.childdevelopmentinfo.com/development/normaldevelopment.shtml

While the baby or for this case the foetus is developing the it starts to use its receptive body mechanics. While this happens its when the determination of whether it will be a left handed or right handed occurs. \n\nThe foetus can think and explore its surrounding and even have the capability to detect the mothers voice vibrations. While the foetus moves around as in your case they become more close to one another to death since its depicted in their developing minds the early sence of oneness.\n\nGenerally the foetus as tiny as imagined at around 7-8 months all this happen. They even actually dream and yawn play listen and remember. This enables the brain complete the nervous connection and responce to stimulation.

In the womb a fetus develops as a female. At a certain point a chemical is relased determining the sex of the child and the reproducetive organs form, however the baby has developed nipples before this point. Another argument that girls rule ok!

Wow. Was that the first naked lady you've ever seen?\n\nWell, if you are familiar with the clitoris, you would notice it resembles a penis (sorta) anyway, when a fetus is developing, the reproductive organs are the same until the fetus reaches a certain stage. At that point, the genitals change and the "penis" either gets bigger in a boy OR it stays the same size and becomes a clitoris in girls. as for the "marbles" they are tucked away neatly in our uterus.

Accually, an utrasound can detect a pregnancy at 2 weeks, but u wont see the baby, all you will see is the fetal sack, this can only be done through an internal scan (they insert a penis shaped object in your vagina), a normal tummy scan will not be able to detect the featus until 6 weeks, but blood tests to show your hormone levels can indicate how far gone you are, and the latest home pregnancy kits will be able to give an accurate result around a week after conception depending on your hcg count

in very early embryo, there are 3 layers (like a pancake)  the outermost , called ectoderm, thickens in midline & folds on itself to form a tube _called neural tube_. then part which is in the direction of future head, will enlarge and forms a globe that finally develops to brain hemispheres. the remaining parts of neural tube will form the spinal cord.
