Term
Ethics
Definition
The disciplined study of morality
Term
30 hrs every 3 years
Definition
How much continueing education for RDMS?
Term
18 weeks
Definition
Standard Routine obstetric ultrasound exams are done at about how many weeks?
Term
abruptio placenta
Definition
bleeding from a normally situated placenta causing its complete or partial detachment after the twentieth week of gestation
Term
Amniocentesis
Definition
aspiration of a sample of amniotic fluid through the mother's abdomen for diagnosis of fetal maturity and/or disease by assay of the constituents of the amniotic fluid
Term
Anencephaly
Definition
absence of the brain; the cerebellum and basal ganglia may be present
Term
Amnion
Definition
smooth membrane enclosing the fetus and amniotic fluid; it is loosely fused with the outer chorionic membrance
Term
Cervix
Definition
inferior segment of the uterus; more than 3.5cm long during normal pregnancy, decreases in length during labor
Term
Chorion
Definition
cellular, outermost extraembryonic membrane, composed of trophoblast lined with mesoderm; it develops villi about 2 weeks after fertilization, is vascularized by allantoic vessels a week later, gives rise to the placenta, and persists until birth
Term
corpus luteum
Definition
yellow body formed from the Graafian follicle after ovulation that produces estrogen and progesterone
Term
Ductus venosus
Definition
fetal vein that connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava and runs at an oblique axis through the liver
Term
Embryo
Definition
conceptus to the end of the ninth week of gestation
Term
Gestational age
Definition
Length of pregnancy defined in the US as number of weeks from first day of last normal menstrual period
Term
Gestational sac
Definition
structure that is normally within the uterus that contains the developing embryo
Term
Hydatidiform mole
Definition
condition in which there is partial or complete conversion of the corionic villi into grapelike vesicles; cillia are avascular and there is trophoblastic proliferation; conditio may result in malignant trophoblastic disease
Term
incomplete cervix
Definition
cervix dilates silently during the second trimester with the result that the membranes bulge and rupture and the fetus drops out
Term
Inttrauterine growth restriction
Definition
abnormal growth pattern of the fetus; usually small abdomen compared with other growth parameters
Term
Lower uterine segment
Definition
thin expanded lower portion of the uterus that forms in the last trimester of pregnancy
Term
Macrosomia
Definition
exceptionally large infant with fat deposition in the subcutaneous tissues; seen in fetuses of diabetic mothers
Term
Oligohydramnios
Definition

insufficient amount of amniotic fluid

below 8cm

Term
Placenta
Definition
organ of communication (nutrition and products of metabolism) between the fetus and the mother; forms from the chorion frondosum with a maternal decidual contribution
Term
Placenta previa
Definition
placental implantation encroaches upon the lower uterine segment; the placenta comes first and bleeding in inevitable
Term
Polyhydramnios
Definition

excessive amount of amniotic fluid

>22cm

Term
Trimester
Definition
pregnancy is divides into 3 13 week periods
Term
Umbilical cord
Definition
Connecting lifeline between the fetus and placenta; it contains two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein encased in Wharton's jelly
Term
Yolk sac
Definition
circular structure seen between 5-12 weeks that supplies nutrition to the fetal pole (the developing embryo); it lies within the chorion outside the amnion
