VET 113- Anatomy + F
Pregnancy, Development, Lactation- chp 20
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Zygote | the ovum once it is fertilized |
Implantation | when blastocysts embeds itself in the endometrium, the placenta begins to form after this step. |
Placenta | the life support system for the developing offspring, develops around the embryo |
Umbilical Cord | connects the placenta to the embryo |
Gestation | time from fertilization of the ovum to delivery of the newborn |
1st Trimester | the embryonic period, this is when the placenta develops |
2nd Trimester | the fetal development period, this is when body tissues/organs/systems develop |
3rd Trimester | the fetal growth period |
Parturition | the birth process. Can be triggered by size, weight of the uterus and fetus, changing hormone levels. |
Fetal Changes after birth | some changes include: lungs expanding and functioning, and the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus close. |
1st Stage of Labor | uterine contractions occur, the myometrium contacts, fetus is pressed down against cervix, and the cervix gradually dilates |
2nd Stage of Labor | the actual delivery of the newborn. The amniotic/allantoic sacs of the placenta rupture, uterine and abdominal muscles contract in a rhythmic pattern, the newborn is delivered. |
3rd Stage of Labor | |
Involution of the Uterus | |
Cow Udder | |
Alveoli | |
Alveolar Duct | |
Lactation | |
Hormones involved in starting lactation | |
Colostrum | |
Lactation Maintenance | |
Milk Letdown | |
Diffuse Placental Attachment | when the attachment sites are spread diffusely over the whole surface of the placenta and the whole lining of the uterus (pigs, horses, camelids). |
Cotyledonary Placental Attachment | the most complicated type of attachment, areas of attachment small discreet and numerous (cattle, sheep, goats). |
Zonary Placental Attachment | when the placenta attaches to the uterus in a belt-shaped zone that encircles the placenta (dogs and cats). |
Discoid Placental Attachment | when the area of attachment between the placenta and uterus is a single, discrete disc-shaped area (humans, primates, rabbits, rodents). |
