Question
Answer
Is the presence of a developing offspring in the uterus consisting of 3 trimesters   Pregnancy  
🗑
Consists of 3 periods in a pregnancy which are divided into about 3 months each   Trimesters  
🗑
Is the union of an egg with a sperm   Fertilization  
🗑
A hollow ball of reproducing cells   Blastocyst  
🗑
When the blastocyst nestles into the endometrium occurring 1 to 7 days after fertilization of the ovum   Implantation  
🗑
Formed when a sperm cell and an egg unite   Zygote  
🗑
2 life phases:   Prenatal and Postnatal Phases  
🗑
Extends from fertilization to birth   Prenatal Phase  
🗑
Extends from birth to death   Postnatal Phase  
🗑
Survives only 12 to 24 hours following ovulation   Secondary oocyte  
🗑
Survives 24 to 72 hours in the female reproductive tract   Sperm cell  
🗑
The three periods of the prenatal period:   Period of cleavage, Embryonic stage and Fetal stage  
🗑
Is the pinching of the Zygote's cytoplasm   Period of cleavage  
🗑
Begins second week through the eighth week of prenatal development   Embryonic stage  
🗑
Begins at the end of the eighth week of prenatal development and lasts until birth   Fetal stage  
🗑
What happens during the Embryonic Stage:   Blastocyst completes implantation, amniotic cavity forms then the Embryonic disc forms  
🗑
What happens during the Fetal Stage:   Body grows rapidly-Ossification occurs in most bones-External Reproductive Organs form-Has hair,nipples&nails-Skeletal Muscles contract-Skin smooths out-Fat is deposited-Braincells rapidly form networks& grow-Testes descend-Digestive & Respiratory mature  
🗑
A space forms between the inner cell mass and the outer trophoblast cells   Amniotic Cavity  
🗑
Inner cell mass flatten forming this which then eventually forms 3 layers itself   Embryonic Disc  
🗑
Cells that form the wall of the blastocyst   Trophoblast  
🗑
Hormonal changes during pregnancy, steps 1 & 2:   1. Following implantation, trophoblast cells begins to secrete hCG 2. hCG functions to maintain corpus luteum during early stages of pregnancy so it can continue to secrete estrogen & progesterone to keep the body from rejecting the blastocyst.  
🗑
Hormonal changes during pregnancy, steps 3, 4 & 5:   3. Placenta develops, which secretes estrogen & progesterone 4. Placental estrogen and progesterone start to function 5. Relaxin from the corpus luteum inhibits uterine contractions & relaxes pelvic ligaments for expansion  
🗑
Hormonal changes during pregnancy, steps 6 & 7:   6. Placenta secretes placental lactogen that stimulates breast development 7. Aldosterone from the adrenal cortex promotes resorption of sodium leading to fluid retention for amniotic fluid  
🗑
Hormonal changes during pregnancy, step 8:   8. Parathyroid hormone from the parathyroid glands that helps maintain a high concentration of maternal blood calcium  
🗑
Maintains uterine lining and what is tested for in urine pregnancy test   hCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin  
🗑
Functions of placental estrogen and progesterone:   Stimulate uterine lining to develop-Maintain uterine lining-Inhibit secretion of FSH & LH- Stimulate development of mammary glands-Progesterone inhibits uterine contractions-Estrogen enlarges reproductive organs  
🗑

🗑
Fetal Blood & Circulation. Steps 1-3:   1.Umbilical vein carries oxygen rich blood from the placenta to the fetus 2.Umbilical vein enters fetus through umbilical rings & travels to liver 3. Half of blood travels along the anterior abdominal wall to liver and half travels to the Ductus Venosus  
🗑
Fetal Blood & Circulation. Steps 4-5:   4.Ductus Venosus joins the Inferior Vena Cava 5. Oxygenated blood in the ductus venosus then mixes with deoxygenated blood from the inferior aspect of the fetus & the mixture enters the right atrium  
🗑
Fetal Blood & Circulation. Steps 6-7:   6. From right atrium, majority of blood is passed into the left atrium through the foramen ovale, since lungs are non-functional 7. Backflow through foramen ovale prevented by combination of superior pressure in the right atrium vs left atrium & the flap  
🗑
Fetal Blood & Circulation. Steps 8-9:   8.More highly oxygenated blood is moved into the left ventricle & is pumped into aorta where it can be supply brain tissues & myocardium before it descends into body 9.Remaining blood from right atrium flows to right ventricle & out via pulmonary trunk  
🗑
Fetal Blood & Circulation. Steps 10-11:   10. Most of blood in pulmonary trunk bypasses lungs & enters ductus arteriosus 11. Ductus Arteriosus connects the pulmonary trunk to the descending portion of the aortic arch carrying less oxygenated blood to the lower regions of the body  
🗑
Fetal Blood & Circulation. Step 12:   12. Once the blood reaches the internal iliac, it branches off into the umbilical arteries leading back to the placenta where the blood is reoxygenated.  
🗑
Bypass of the liver:   Ductus Venosus  
🗑
Flap dividing the right and left atrium   Septum Primum  
🗑
Shunt connecting the pulmonary artery to the aortic arch   Ductus Arteriosus  
🗑
Cardiovascular Adjustments in the Newborn, Steps 1 & 2:   1. Umbilical vein constricts forming ligamentum teres extending form the umbilicus to the liver inside the newborn 2. Ductus Venosus constricts forming ligamentum venosum that is superficially embedded in the wall of the liver  
🗑
Cardiovascular Adjustments in the Newborn, Steps 3, 4 & 5:   3. Foramen Ovale closes & begins fossa ovalis 4. Ductus Arteriosus constricts forming ligamentum arteriosum extending from pulmonary trunk to the aorta 5. Umbilical arteries distal portions constrict & become lateral umbilical ligaments  
🗑
When the foramen ovale does not close all the way, usually closes up within a few days of birth, if not will have surgery to close:   Hole in the heart  
🗑
Valve does not close all the way allowing the mixing of oxygenated & deoxygenated blood   Heart Murmur  
🗑
