Question
Answer
Fertilization normally occurs within which structure   uterine tube  
🗑
This is a series of functional changes that sperm go through when they are in the female reproductive tract   capacitation  
🗑
The fusion of the secondary oocyte and the sperm results in which developmental stage   zygote  
🗑
This will become the primary structure for exchange of material between the mother and the fetus   chorionic villi of the placenta  
🗑
This is the connection between the placenta and the embryo   umbilical cord  
🗑
The normal gestation period for humans is   40 weeks  
🗑
This is any agent or influence that causes developmental defects in an embryo   none of the preceding  
🗑
This exam is performed between 14-16 weeks gestation and is used to detect genetic abnormalities   amniocentesis  
🗑
During pregnancy stroke volume can increase by   30%  
🗑
Labor cannot take place until all of this hormone's effects are diminished   progesterone  
🗑
This is the time from the onset of labor to the complete dilation of the cervix   state of dilation  
🗑
Involution is   when the uterus decreases in size  
🗑
This is a principle hormone that releases milk into the mammary ducts   oxytocin  
🗑
This hormone is secreted by non-pregnant women from secretory cells in the hypothalamus   GnRH  
🗑
Amniocentesis can produce results that indicate   the presence of certain genetic disorders such as Down syndrome  
🗑
In the process of lactation   the uterine smooth muscle returns to its normal size more rapidly in nursing than non-nursing mothers  
🗑
Fertilization in a laboratory dish and transfer of the developing embryo into the uterus is called   in vitro fertilization  
🗑
Implantation is the process where the   blastocyst attaches to and enters the endometrium  
🗑
Implantation occurs____after fertilization   about 6 days  
🗑
The placental stage of labor ends with   expelling of the afterbirth  
🗑
The developing embryo is surrounded by and bathed in   amniotic fluid  
🗑
The testes have descended into the scrotal sac of a male fetus that is   full-term  
🗑
Early pregnancy tests depend on the detection of ___ in the urine   human chorionic gonadotropin  
🗑
At the end of a full-term pregnancy, the top of the uterus reaches   nearly to the xiphoid process of the sternum  
🗑
Chorionic villi sampling, although riskier, has an advantage over amniocentesis because CVS   yields test results in a few days  
🗑
A hormone called___ released from the anterior pituitary gland stimulates the production of milk by the mammary glands   prolactin  
🗑
In human development, we call the developing human an "embryo" during the first and second trimesters   False  
🗑
Individuals with two X chromosomes XX are female   True  
🗑
The "bag of waters" represents the fluid from the chorionic sac   False  
🗑
Implantation occurs about 7-8 days after fertilization or about day 21-22 of the uterine cycle   True  
🗑
The 'decidua' is the same layer of the pregnant uterus as the 'endometrium' of the non-pregnant uterus   True  
🗑
Early home pregnancy tests detect the presence if hCG, which is found in the urine only when successful implantation has occurred   True  
🗑
In the hyperplasia of the uterine smooth muscle during pregnancy, only muscle cell size increase, not cell number   False  
🗑
An abnormal sudden hypertension with large amounts of protein in urine and edna that can occur during pregnancy   Preeclampsia  
🗑
Preeclampsia associated with convulsions and coma   Eclampsia  
🗑
Prenatal test for chromosomal and biochemical abnormalities that can be done at 8-10 weeks of pregnancy   Chorionic villi sampling  
🗑
Prenatal test for chromosomal and biochemical abnormalities that can be done at 14-16 weeks of pregnancy   Amniocentesis  
🗑
A non-invasive test that can detect neural tube defects, such as spina bifida or anencephaly   Maternal alpha fetoprotein test  
🗑
A newer AFP test that also probes for Down's syndrome and trisomy 18 that results in fetal death in utero or during the first year of life   Quad AFP Plus test  
🗑
The six weeks following parturition that a woman's reproductive organs and physiology return to their pre-pregnancy state   Puerperium  
🗑
The penetration of only one sperm into a secondary oocyte   Syngamy  
🗑
The penetration of several sperm into a secondary oocyte   Polyspermy  
🗑
The process of giving birth   Parturition  
🗑
The attachment of a blastocyst to the wall of the uterus   Implantation  
🗑
Functional changes in the sperm within the female reproductive system that allow sperm to fertilize a secondary oocyte   Capacitation  
🗑
Promotes milk production and secretion, but is action is inhibited during pregnancy   Prolactin  
🗑
Stimulates the corpus luteum to continue production of progesterone and estrogens   Human chorionic gonadotropin  
🗑
Increases the flexibility of the pubic symphysis and helps dilate the cervix during labor   Relaxin  
🗑
Helps prepare mammary glands for lactation; regulates certain aspects of maternal and fetal metabolism   Human chorionic somatomammotropin  
🗑
Stimulates uterine contractions and responsible for the milk ejection reflex   Oxytocin  
🗑
Secreted by the placenta; helps establish the timing of birth and increase the secretion of cortisol for fetal lung maturation   Corticotropin releasing hormone  
🗑
