Effects of teratogen on critical period. The organism is most vulnerable to teratogens during the embryonic period-ex: the most vulnerable period for the heart is between 20 and 40 days after conception.
While birth defects can be caused by genetic factors, environmental hazardsâsuch as drugs and toxinsâcan also have a teratogenic effect. A teratogen is any substance to which a pregnant female is exposed that may cause physical defects in the developing embryo or fetus and result in a birth defect. If a woman is exposed to teratogens during pregnancy due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another party, that party can be held liable for the losses and suffering that ensues for both the mother and the child.
