Term
what week begins the fetal period
Definition
week 9
Term
what are some of the major changes in the fetal period
Definition
growth and maturation, early in it elongation, later weight gain, head growth slows
Term
what is the clinical vs our definition of the gestation period
Definition

clinical: from last period, 280d, 140 weeks

ours: from fertilization, 266d, 138 weeks

Term
what are some of the physical changes in month 3
Definition
eyes move ventrally, ears raise, limb proportion improves (lower are still behind), bones form, itestinal loops withdraw from the umbilical cord, muscular activity begins, genitalia appear
Term
when do primary ossification centers appear? what do they do first?
Definition
month 3, make scull and long bones
Term
what physical changes occur in month 4/5
Definition
increased length 15 cm, less than 1 lb still, hair and lanugo hair, eyebrows, fetal movement
Term
lanugo hair
Definition
full body hair, appears in months 4/5
Term
what physical changes occur in month 6/7
Definition

skin reddish and wrinkled, by the end the length is 25 cm and 1100 grams

no connective tissue or CNS maturity

Term
what is the clinical significance of the end of month 7
Definition
baby can survive outside mom with medical assistance
Term
what physical changes occur in month 8/9
Definition
increase in weight due to subcutaneous fat, rounder coutours, vernix caseosa appears, 3000-3400 g, 50 cm head
Term
vernix caseosa
Definition
fatty sebaceous gland secretion that appears in month 8/9 over skin
Term
what is the time spand to be considered a pre mature baby
Definition
2-4 weeks early
Term
how long can a baby stay after its due date
Definition
2 weeks before it is induced by doctors so it doesnt cause problems
Term
changes in trophoblast of placenta during fetal period
Definition
extensions from out from the villi into the intervillous spaces so circulation is only seperated by the endothelial wall and syncytium
Term
changes in the chorion during the fetal period
Definition

villi continue to grow and expand on the embryonic pole becoming the chorion fondosum

villi on abembryonic pole degenerate (chorion leave)

Term
changes in the decudia during the fetal period
Definition
deciduia capsularis over the abembryonic pole stretches and degenerates as the pregnacy progresses, the chorion leave evuntally contacts the uterine wall (deciduia parietalis) and fuses it with obliterating the uterine cavity
Term
deciduia
Definition
decuduia (endometrial lining) is adjacent to chorion fondosum and is made of large cells with abundent lipid and glycogen
Term
what is the only part of the chorion that participates in exchange between fetal and maternal circulation
Definition
chorion fondosum
Term
chorion fondosum + deciduia basalis =
Definition
placenta
Term
what happens to the chorionic cavity later in pregnacy
Definition
the amniotic cavity expands with pregnacy obliterating the chorionic cavity with the fusion of the amnion and chorion into the amniochorionic membrane
Term
what makes up the amniochorionic membrane?
Definition
the fusion of the amniotic and chorionic cavities
Term
what is the fetal contribution to the placenta structure
Definition
chorion fondosum
Term
what is the maternal contribution to the placenta structure
Definition
deciduia basalis
Term
what is the layer on the fetal side of the placenta
Definition
chorionic plate
Term
what is the layer on the maternal side of the placenta
Definition
decidual plate
Term
deciduil septa
Definition

forms in month 4/5

projections of the decuidia into the intervillous spaces, dont reach chorionic plate, divides placenta into cotyledons

Term
what is the function of cotelydons
Definition
mix maternal blood
Term
where is the umbilical cord on the placenta
Definition
the middle
Term
when is the placenta expelled
Definition
30 after birth
Term
what arteries supply the placenta
Definition
80-100 spiral arteries let blood into villi
Term
what veins supply the placenta
Definition
endometrial veins
Term
what percentage of mom's blood is inside the placenta
Definition
10%
Term
gas exchange in the placenta
Definition
simple diffusion between fetal capillaries and villi, senitive to O2 deprivation
Term
what is the rate that the baby extracts O2 from mom?
Definition
20-30 ml /  min
Term
what is the placental role in immunity
Definition
mechanisms in it transport IgG and passive immunities to the baby but the less after birth
Term
what kinds of nutrients does the placenta deliver to the baby
Definition
electrolites, aa, fa, carbs, vitamins
Term
what is the timeline of the corpus leutum? how is it maintained over time?
Definition

early on LH induces progesterone secretion to develop and maintain it

if mom wasn't pregant, it would die around menstration time

if pregnat, hCG supplies the corpus leutum until the placenta can provide enough progesterone on its own and the corpus leutim dies (end of month 4)

Term
hormones made in the synctytiotropoblast
Definition
progesterone, hCG, estrogenic, somatommotropin
Term
estrogenic
Definition

hormone made in the synctiotrophoblast

mostly estradiol

uterine growth, mammary gland development

Term
somatommotropin
Definition

hormone made in the synctiotrophoblast

helps baby to moms glucose first making mom a little diabetogenic

breast development, milk production, growth hormone like

Term
umbilical ring
Definition

early ambilical cord

located where ectoderm meets amnion

Term
contents of the umbilical ring
Definition
connecting stalk, allantois, umbilical vessels, yolk stalk, extraembryonic cavity communicates with intraembryonic cavity
Term
allantos
Definition
extension of bladder, in umbilical ring
Term
yolk stalk
Definition
viteline duct and vessels
Term
umbilical cord formation 
Definition

as the amniotic cavity expands, amnion begins to envelope the connecting stalk and yolk stalk forming the umbilical cord

evuntally only umbilical vessels and Wharton's jelly will in in it

Term
where is amniotic fluid derived from
Definition
maternal blood
Term
functions of amniotic fluid
Definition
absorb jolts, prevent adherance of the embryo to the amnion, allow fetal movements, drink for fetus (5 mo), urination area for fetus
Term
how often is the amniotic fluid replaced
Definition
every 3 hours
Term
what do amniotic fluid level changes suggest
Definition
obstructions, no swallowing, not breating, changes in urination
