Term
3 phases of pregnancy
Definition
1. pre-embryonic 0-2wks
2. embryoninc 2-8 wks
3. fetal 8+ wks -birth
Term
Pre embryonic phase
Definition
rapid cell division. zygote moves to uterus
Term
after 80hrs
Definition
morula reaches uterus
Term
when fluid filled space forms
Definition
= blastocyst
Term
takes -- to implant in endometrum
Definition
1 week
Term
after implanting - cell masses form:
Definition
outer- trophoblast- chorion, placenta
inner- baby, amniotic sac
Term
Monozygotic twins
Definition
identical same egg
Term
endometrium is persered by
Definition
trophoblase releasing hCG which perserves corpus luteum which segreastes progesterone and estrogen (upkeeping endometrium)
Term
hCG
Definition
morning sickness, released from trophoblast
Term
what is the source of estrogen and progesterone after corpus luteum degenerates?
Definition
placenta
Term
Mature placenta weighs -- is connected to fetus by -- and starts functioning at
Definition
1-2 lbs
umbilical cord
end of 1st trimester
Term
functions of placents
Definition
nutrients, oxygen, wastes
Term
site of implantation in endometrium
Definition
basal plate
Term
embryo has -- umbilical artiers that circulate blood -- placenta
Definition
2
towards
Term
embryo has -- umbical veins that circulate blood -- placenta
Definition
1
away
Term
Do the blood of the fetus and mother mix?
Definition
no
Term
most common pregnancy complications
Definition
abnormalities w/ placenta
Term
placenta previa
Definition
low lying covering most of cervix
Term
placenta abruption
Definition
placenta seperates from uterine wall
Term
gestational HTN
Definition
pre eclampsia believed to be associated w/impaired placenta
Term
embryo starts as
Definition
flat disc w/ 3 layers formed by organogensis
Term
3 layers of embryo
Definition
1. ectoderm _> nervous, epidermis
2. mesoderm- CT,muscle
3. endoderm- epithelial glands
Term
Gestational age vs Fetal age
Definition
gestational age- last menstraul cycle= age of fetus
Fetal age- time since conception
Term
end of 8th wk embryo-
Definition
fetus
Term
Teratogen
Definition
disrupts normal cell growth/dev. causing altered structure/function.
Term
teratogens cause most problems
Definition
most suceptible during critical periods= rapid cell division.
Term
teratogen during first 2 wks
Definition
loss of embryo
Term
teratogen 2-6wks
Definition
severe organ abnormalities
Term
teratogen during fetal period-
Definition
less severes bc period is for maturing whats already formed.
