fetus
The term for an unborn child in the womb at an advanced stage of development; in humans, from the ninth week of pregnancy until birth.
Auf dem Ultraschallbild konnte die Ärztin die Herztöne des Fötus nachweisen.
On the ultrasound image, the doctor was able to detect the fetus's heartbeat.
The word 'Fötus' (fetus) is a medical and biological technical term. It is used less often in everyday, non-scientific conversations.
Die Ärztin erklärte den Eltern die Entwicklung des Fötus.
The doctor explained the development of the fetus to the parents.
'Fötus' (fetus) is often used in combination with medical terms, such as 'die Entwicklung des Fötus' (the development of the fetus), 'der Fötus im Mutterleib' (the fetus in the womb), or 'die Größe des Fötus' (the size of the fetus).
Die Untersuchung zeigte, dass der Fötus gesund ist und normal wächst.
The examination showed that the fetus is healthy and growing normally.
This term is used almost exclusively in the context of pregnancy, medicine, biology, or ethical debates about the beginning of life.
Die Forschung untersucht die Auswirkungen von Umwelteinflüssen auf den Fötus.
The research examines the effects of environmental influences on the fetus.
embryo
In humans, Embryo refers to the unborn child during the first eight weeks of pregnancy. From the ninth week of pregnancy until birth, it is called a Fötus. The decisive factor is therefore the stage of development.
Ab der neunten Schwangerschaftswoche wird das ungeborene Kind als Fötus bezeichnet.
From the ninth week of pregnancy onward, the unborn child is referred to as a fetus.
In der achten Schwangerschaftswoche wird das ungeborene Kind noch als Embryo bezeichnet.
In the eighth week of pregnancy, the unborn child is still referred to as an embryo.
