Computer-generated image reconstructed from scanned human data of a 24-week-old fetus. Actual size of fetus is over 25 centimetres. The age is calculated from the day of fertilization. The right ear is visible as an orb-like protrusion on the side of the head. In the facial region, the eyes are closed with fused eyelids. The arm limbs are elongated and bent upwards. As the fetus develops, the skin smooths out as fat deposits accumulate underneath. The fat serves as an insulator and an energy source for the infant. | |
