True or False: High estrogen support motility of the uterine tube cilia to propel ovum   True  
🗑
fertilization takes place where:   in the ampulla of the uterine tube (outer third)  
🗑
morula   ball of 16-cell three days after formation of zygote  
🗑
blastocyst   formed after the morula  
🗑
6-10 days after conception   trophoblast secretes enzymes that allows it to implant into the uterus  
🗑
chorionic villi   projections that extend from the trophoblast into the endometrium for gaz exchange  
🗑
decidua   endometrium is call this after implantation  
🗑
decidua basalis, vera, and capsularis   base, middle and outer parts of the decidua in relation to the trophoblast  
🗑
Lenght of pregnancy   10 lunar months, 9 calendar months, 40 weeks, or 280 day  
🗑
Stages of intrauterine development   ovum or preembryonic, embryo, and fetus  
🗑
ovum or preembryonic stage   This period covers cellular replication, The first two weeks of after conceptions. Blastocyst formation, initial development of the embryonic membranes, and establishment of the primary germ layers.  
🗑
Primary Germ Layers   the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm (or entoderm)  
🗑
embryonic stage   2 weeks to 8 weeks embryo measures 3cm critical time of development for inner and outer organs embryo vulnerable to teratogens  
🗑
oligohydramnios   less than 300ml of amniotic fluid associated with fetal renal abnormalities  
🗑
hydramnios   more than 2L of amniotic fluid associated with GI and other malformations  
🗑
content of amniotic fluid   albumin, urea, uric acid, creatinine, lecithin, sphingomyelin, bilirubin, fructose, fat, leukocytes, proteins, epithelial cells, enzymes, and lanugo hair  
🗑
yolk sac   plays a role in rbc formation during the embryonic stage (gone by week 6)  
🗑
umbilical cord is comprised of:   two arteries and one vein  
🗑
Wharton's jelly   connective tissue that prevents compression of the umbilical blood vessels to ensure nourishment to the fetus  
🗑
battledore placenta   peripheral location of the umbilical cord  
🗑
embryonic heart starts beating when:   17 days after conception  
🗑
syncytium   functional layer of the placenta  
🗑
hCG   detected after implantation  
🗑
Fetal glucose needs   a lot higher glucose circulates through the umbilical cord  
🗑
Fetal maturation (FETAL STAGE)   From week 9 to end of pregnancy  
🗑
Problems during fetal stage   fetus is vulnerable to teratogens affecting cns functioning  
🗑
Viability   Ability of the fetus to survive threshold is 22-25 weeks  
🗑
first organ system to function in the fetus   the cardiovascular system heart beat by the end of the third week 4 to 5th week - development of the 4 chambers by the 8th week, the heart is complete  
🗑
ductus arteriosus   bypasses the lungs in the fetus  
🗑
ductus venosus   bypasses the liver and flows into the inferior vena cava  
🗑
foramen ovale   opening into the left atrium fetal blood flows directly from right to left atrium  
🗑
three special characteristics that enable the fetus to obtain sufficient oxygen from the maternal blood are:   •Fetal hemoglobin carries 20% to 30% more oxygen •The hemoglobin concentration of the fetus is about 50% greater •The fetal heart rate is 110 to 160 beats/min, making the cardiac output per unit of body weight higher than that of an adult.  
🗑
Hematopoises in the fetus   begins the 6th week in the fetal liver Rh negative mother is then at risk  
🗑
Meckel's diverticulum   the most common malformation of the midgut, occurs when a remnant of the yolk stalk that has failed to degenerate attaches to the ileum, leaving a blind sac.  
🗑
Anorectal malformations   the most common abnormalities of the digestive system.  
🗑
meconium   dark green to black, tarry fetal waste passed within 24h after birth  
🗑
storage of glycogen begins at what time in the fetus?   week 9 glycogen is 2x that of adults at birth  
🗑
When does brown fat begins accumulating?   Between 26 and 30 weeks the fetus begins to lay down stores of brown fat in preparation for extrauterine cold stress.  
🗑
bile begins forming at what time?   the 12th week bile is found is meconium  
🗑
hyperbilirubinemia   liver of fetus does not need to remove biluribin At birth, this function is needed, and the lack can cause an accumulation of bilurubin or hyperbilirubinemia  
🗑
coagulation factors   not synthesized by fetus an injection is given to the newborn  
🗑
development of the respiratory tract in fetus   week 4 to week 17 with formation of the larynx, the trachea, the bronchi, and the lung buds. week 16-24: enlargement of bronchi or formation of vessels week 24-term: type 1 and 2 cells form to secrete surfactant  
🗑
L/S ratio (Lecithin/Sphingomyelin) is used to determine what:   an L/S ratio of 2:1 signifies a mature lung this occurs at 35 weeks of gestation  
🗑
Conditions that can retard lung maturity include:   gestational diabetes and chronic glomerulonephritis intrabronchial synthetic surfactant can be used to improve an affected newborn's chance of survival  
🗑
C-Section and breathing:   Fluid is left in the newborn's lung, but reabsorbed within 2hours into circulation  
🗑
Kidney formation takes place when:   The 5th week, but begin function in the 9th week  
🗑
Kidney malformation   indicated by oligohydromnios kidney begin function right after birth Infant at risk for dehydration b/c the GFR is low at birth (glomerula filtration rate)  
🗑
when can brain waves be recorded?   by week 8
