"Anytime malformations," which occur from teratogen exposure during any week of the pregnancy, are LEAST applicable to which body organ?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anytime malformations can affect any organ system during any week of pregnancy. However, the palate is the least applicable body organ in this context because it develops early in fetal development, between the sixth and twelfth week of gestation, and is therefore more susceptible to teratogenic exposure during this time frame. Malformations of the eyes, genitals, and nervous system can also occur from teratogen exposure at any point during fetal development.
