Labor contractions are aided by contraction of the: Abdominal wall muscles
Mesoderm gives rise to: Muscle, blood, bone, vessels, kidneys and internal reproductive

The fetal stage of development at the end of the eighth week: TRUE
A major body part derived from endoderm is: The epithelial lining of the digestive tract
Early in pregnancy, hCG maintains the corpus luteum, which secretes: Estrogens and progesterone.
Passive aging includes degeneration of proteins such as: Elastin and collagen
During the 3rd month of fetal development , a key body proportion change is: Body lengthens quickly while head grows slow
In fetal circulation, most blood from the pulmonary trunk bypasses the lungs through the: Ductus arteriosus
A factor in human milk that promotes growth of lactobacillus is the: Bifidus factor
The cervix becomes thin and begins to open during: Labor
The foramen ovale shunts most blood because fetal: Lungs are not functional for gas exchange
The foramen ovale is an opening that allows fetal blood to pass the: Right atrium to the left atrium
Suckling promotes continued milk production primarily by sustaining: Prolactin secretion
A key driver of the positive feedback loop in labor is cervical stretch leading to: Oxytocin release and stronger contraction
As a result of the foramen ovale, blood is allowed to bypass the Lungs
At the blastocyst stage, the cells are considered Pluripotent
