In the eye, the retina now has discrete layers. The
vast majority of neuron multiplication in the brain is complete by 16 weeks. In
the teeth, enamel begins to develop between 16 and 20 weeks. Beginning at 18
weeks, ultrasound scans show a distinct type of motion in the fetal voice box,
or larynx, similar to movements made during speaking.
From 18 to 20 weeks, fetal movement, breathing activity, and
heart rate begin to follow daily cycles called circadian rhythms; the same
rhythms that characterize various biological activities throughout life.
A protective white substance, called vernix caseosa, now
encases the fetus, protecting the skin from exposure to amniotic fluid. By
about 19 weeks, the number of oogonia within the ovaries of a female fetus
peaks at approximately 7 million. From this point, not only does oogonia
production end forever, but their numbers decrease to about 2 million by birth.
These oogonia give rise to several thousand primary oocytes.
The cochlea is the frequency analyzer of the ear and converts sound waves of
varying frequencies into electrical impulses which are then communicated to the
brain.
By 20 weeks it reaches adult size within the fully
developed inner ear.
From now on, the fetus will respond to a growing medley of
sounds. With the eyebrows nearly complete, hair now begins
to grow on the scalp. All skin layers and structures are present,
including hair follicles and glands.
