Sažetak
Human life does not begin with birth. Normal development of the human being lasts 280 days before parturition. In prenatal growth and development, the placenta plays a key role. It has numerous functions essential for maintaining the pregnancy and promoting normal fetal development. During intrauterine period, the fetus gradually begins to perform many vital physiological functions. Furthermore, through nine months of gestation, a repertoire of fetal functions and activities constantly expands. Development of modern imaging methods has revealed the existence of a full range of fetal movement patterns, even facial movements similar to emotional expressions in adults. Indeed, the world in utero is fascinating. Therefore, the birth is not the beginning, but only a new chapter in the story of human life.
