The Greek civilization came after the Minoan. About 2000 B.C., people from the north moved southward into the peninsula of Greece. These people-the Achaeans built walled cities in the southern part of Greece. Their most important city was Mycenae.
In human development, a fetus (/ËfiËtÉs/ ; plural fetuses), also spelled foetus, is a prenatal human between its embryonic state and its birth. The fetal stage of development tends to be taken as beginning at the gestational age of eleven weeks, i.e. nine weeks after fertilization.t the start of the fetal stage, the fetus is typically about 30 millimetres (1.2 in) in length from crown to rump, and weighs about 8 grams. The head makes up nearly half of the fetus' size. Breathing-like movement of the fetus is necessary for stimulation of lung development, rather than for obtaining oxygen.
In the last few weeks of the first trimester, the embryo really starts to take shape. The facial structures begin to form and become recognizable. The neural tube, which will form the brain and spinal cord, develops. Little buds emerge and grow into arms and legs. Around week 8, the embryo becomes a fetus. The kidneys, liver, brain, and lungs are all beginning to function. The fingers and toes are separate and the external genitalia are formed. At 12 weeks, the fetus is about three inches long and weighs about one ounce.
