Question at position 24 Fetal heart begins to beat at 8 weeks gestationTrueFalse

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a true/false statement about fetal heart development. 
Option 1: True. This statement would claim that the fetal heart begins to beat at 8 weeks of gestation. In reality, the heart begins to form and start beating much earlier, typically around 4 weeks after conception (which is about 6 weeks of gestational age) and by 5–6 weeks a detectable heartbeat is often observed via ultrasound. Therefore saying the heartbeat begins at 8 weeks is inaccurate, making this option incorrect.
Option 2: False. This correctly reflects the timing: the heart starts beating earlier than 8 weeks, usually around 4 weeks post-conception and detectable by about 6 weeks gestational age. By 8 weeks, the fetal heartbeat is already established and can be observed, so the claim that it begins at 8 weeks is not true. The misunderstanding here likely stems from conflating gestational age with the earliest detectable events, but standard embryology and obstetric references place the onset of cardiac activity earlier than 8 weeks.
Overall, the statement in the question is false because the initial cardiac activity occurs earlier than 8 weeks, and the heartbeat is typically detectable before that milestone.
