🗑
what are the three primary germ layers of cells   endoderm/entoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm

🗑
When are all organs and external features developed?   during the embryo stage (day 15 to 8 weeks)  
🗑
When is the embryo at its greatest risk from teratogens?   the embryo stage (day 15 to 8 weeks)  
🗑
what are teratrogens?   harmful agents that cause fetal malformations  
🗑
Endoderm/entoderm is what?   the inner-most layer of cells in the developing embryo, they give rise to the internal organs (intestines, epithelium of the resp. tract, and other organs).  
🗑
Mesoderm is what?   middle layer of cells in the developing embryo that gives rise to the connective tissue, bone marrow, muscles, blood, lymph tissue, epithelial tissue, and bones and teeth.  
🗑
What is Ectoderm?   The outer layer of cells in the developing embryo that gives rise to skin, nails, hair, glands, and central and peripheral nervous systems  
🗑
When does the fetus become recognizable as a human?   the fetal stage  
🗑
When is the fetal stage?   From 9 weeks until the end of pregnancy  
🗑
At what stage is it possible for fetal viability?   20 weeks (fetal weight of 500 g or more)  
🗑
What is dependant of the fetus's extrauterine survival?   the oxygenation capabilities of the fetus's lungs and its CNS function  
🗑
After 32 weeks a fetus...   has sufficient surfactant and alveoli are developed enough to provide a fetus with a good chance of survival  
🗑
When does: fetal heart begin to beat, body is flexed, C-shaped with arm and leg buds present   4 weeks  
🗑
When are: all body organs formed, and first indication of musculoskeletal ossification   8 weeks  
🗑
When can the fetal heart rate be heard using a DOPPLER?   8 to 12 weeks  
🗑
When can the sex of the fetus be determined, blood is forming in marrow, and kidneys are able to secrete urine?   12 weeks  
🗑
When does: the face look human, meconium is present in the bowel, heart muscle is well-developed, sensory organs differentiated   16 weeks  
🗑
When does: primitive resp. movements begin, Heartbeat can be heard with a FETOSCOPE, quickening occurs, brain grossly formed, vernix caseosa and lanugo are present   20 weeks  
🗑
what is the protective, cheese-like coating on skin called?   vernix caseosa  
🗑
what is the fine, downy hair on the fetus called?   lanugo  
🗑
At what point is the: body lean, but well proportioned, Lecithin begins to appear in amniotic fluids, ability to hear   24 weeks  
🗑
What is Lecethin?   a "respiratory marker" that begins to appear in amniotic fluids (at 24 weeks)  
🗑
When is: Brown fat present, eyes begin to open and close, weak suck reflex   28 weeks  
🗑
When is: subcut fat collecting, fetus has finger and toe nails, sense of taste is present, aware of sounds outside mother's body   32 weeks  
🗑
When is: skin pink, body rounded, lanugo on shoulders and upper body only, verix caseosa scant, fetus receives antibodies form mother   38+ weeks  
🗑
Why does the fetus have 4 specialized circulatory pathways?   These are specialized structures that shunt blood away from the lungs and liver.  
🗑
What are the 4 specialized circulatory pathways called?   Ductus arteriosus, foramen ovale, ductus venosus, placenta  
🗑
This structure connects the pulmonary artery with the aorta allowing blood to bypass the lungs   DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS  
🗑
This structure is an intra-atrial opening that shunts blood from the right to the left atria of the heart   FORAMEN OVALE  
🗑
This structure shunts blood from the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava allowing most of the blood to bypass the liver   DUCTUS VENOSUS  
🗑
What acts for lungs for the fetus by diffusing maternal oxygen into the fetal blood, and diffuseing carbon dioxide from the fetal blood?   Plancenta  
🗑
What produces the hormones needed to maintain pregnancy?   placenta  
🗑
what performs the metabolic functions of respiration, nutrition, excretion, and storage?   plancenta  
🗑
This maintains a constant body temp of the fetus   amniotic fluid  
🗑
this is a source of oral fluid and repository for waste   amniotic fluid  
🗑
this is a cushion for the fetus to prevent injury   amniotic fluid  
🗑
this allows the fetal movement for MS development   amniotic fluid  
🗑
this prevent the amnion form adhering to the fetus   amniotic fluid  
🗑
the inner membrane of the placenta is called   the amnion

this prevents umbilical cord compression   amniotic fluid  
🗑
how many arteries and veins are in the umbilical cord?   two umbilical arteries that carry deoxygenated blood away fromthe fetus tothe placenta and one umbilical vein that supplies the embryo with oxygen and nutrients from the placenta (maternal blood supply)  
🗑
What is the thick substance that surrounds the umbilical cord called?   Wharton's jelly  
🗑
what is the purpose of Wharton's jelly?   it acts as a physical buffer to prevent pressure on the vein and arteries in the cord from interfering with fetal circulation  
🗑
