Q

Fertilization

A

Sperm can remain viable within the female reproductive tract for as long as six days

The egg is only available for 24 hours

It takes 72 hours for the egg to reach the uterus fertilization typically occurs in the distal third of the fallopian tubes

A team of sperm help make fertilization possible by clearing a path

Q

how fertilization works

A
  1. Hundreds of sperm swim the egg the acrosomes on the sperm heads release enzymes that break down the cells in the zona pellucida
  2. Because of the efforts of multiple sperm a path through the Zona eventually results allowing a single sperm to penetrate
  3. The nucleus of the sperm is released into the ovum as its tail degenerates and falls away
    - –The nucleus of the sperm fuses with the nucleus of the egg creating a single cells 46 chromosomes

Q

how the preembryotic stage works

A
  1. Prebiotic stage begins in fertilization forms a zygote with 46 chromosomes
  2. Within 24 to 36 hours the zygote divides by mitosis to form two daughter cells called blastomeres
  3. The mitotic division continue with the cells doubling with each division
    - —finally a BlackBerry like cluster of 16 cells called morula results
    - —Approximately 3 to 4 days after fertilization the morula enters the uterine cavity where it floats for two or three days
  4. As the morula continues to divide a hollow cavity forms and the morula is now called a blastocyst
    - —The blastocyst consists of an outer layer of cells called the trophoblast and an inner cell mass
    - —The trophoblast eventually formed the placenta and the inner cell mass becomes the embryo
  5. Implantation: About six days after ovulation the blastocyte attaches to the endometrium

Q

Implantation

A

The process of implantation takes about a week

  1. Open the blastocyst attaches to the endometrium the trophoblast cells on the side of the endometrium divide to produce two layers of cells
    - –The outer layer secretes enzymes that erode a gap in the endometrium
    - –As these other cells penetrate the endometrium the inner soul that separates from the trophoblast creating a narrow space called the amniotic cavity
  2. Inner cell mass flattens to form the embryonic discs
    - –Some of the cells on the interior portion of the embryonic disk multiply to form another cavity called the yolk sac
    - –Meanwhile the rapidly growing endometrium covers the top of the blastocyte burying it completely
  3. Embryonic desk gives rise to three layers called Jim layers which produce all the organs and tissues of the body
    - –The three germ layers are the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm

Q

Amnion

A

transparent sac that completely envelops the embryo

Filled with amniotic fluid which prevents the embryo from trauma as well as changes in temperature

Later the fetus will breed the fluid and swallow it

The volume remain stable because the fetus regularly urinates into the amniotic sac

Q

Fetal stage

A

Encompasses the period from the eighth week until birth

Primarily a stage of growth as organs that formed during the embryonic period grow and mature

The fetus the lungs snort delivery quite a great deal of blood amongst our non-functioning in the liver is still immature therefore the Fetus circulatory system contains three Sean Circle of blood to bypass these organs

26
Q

3 shunts

A

the Ductus venosus
The foreman ovale
The ductus arteriosu

27
Q

the Ductus venosus
The foreman ovale
The ductus arteriosus

A

Ductus venosus: Shunts blood around the liver

The foreman ovale: an opening between the two atria Shunts blood directly from the right atrium to the left

The ductus arteriosus: verts blood from right ventricle to the pulmonary artery bypass in the lungs play have a nice here

28
Q

how circulatory system works during fetal stage

A
  1. Oxygen rich blood enters the fetus through the umbilical cord Vein
  2. Most of the blood bypasses delivered by flowing through the ductus venosus into the inferior vena cava
    - —Placental blood from the umbilical vein then merges with fetal blood from the IVC as it flows to the heart
  3. Blood flows into the right atrium most of the blood cells directly into the left atrium through the foramen ovale bypassing the lungs
  4. Blood that does not flow through the foramen ovale flows into the right ventricle and then into the pulmonary trunk
    - —From there the blood flows through the ductus arteriosus and into the descending aorta again bypassing the lung
  5. Oxygen depleted waste filled blood flows through to umbilical arteries to the placenta
    - —The placenta than cleanses the blood reading of carbon dioxide and waste products reoxygenating it and returns it to the fetus through the umbilical vein

39
Q

Physical changes during pregnancy

digestive system

A
  • Nausea and vomiting commonly occur during the first three months the cause is unknown
  • Constipation often results from decreased intestinal motility
  • Heartburn frequently occurs later in the pregnancy as the enlarged uterus presses upward on the stomach
  • Basal metabolic rate rises about 15% during the second half of the pregnancy and the mother appetite increases
40
Q

Physical changes during pregnancy

Circulatory system

A
  • Mothers blood volume increases 30% to 50%
  • Cardiac output increases 30% of 40% by week 27 as the uterus demands more blood heart rate also increases
  • —-Later in the pregnancy the uterus exerts pressure on the pelvic blood vessels interfering with venous return hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and swelling in the feet may result
41
Q

Physical changes during pregnancy

Respiratory system

A
  • Ventilation increases about 50% to meet the developing fetus increased demand for oxygen
  • Late in the pregnancy the enlarged uterus pushes against the die from often cousin shortness of breath
  • —Increased estrogen levels cause the nasal mucosa to swell resulting in nasal stuffiness
42
Q

Physical changes during pregnancy

Urinary system

A
  • An increase in Aldosterone Promotes water and salt retention by the kidneys
  • Glomular filtration rate increases to deal with the added burden of disposing pf the fetus’ waste this leads to a slightly elevated urine output
  • —Later in pregnancy the enlarged uterus presses on the bladder and reduces its capacity; this leads to increased frequency of urination
43
Q

Physical changes during pregnancy

Integumentary system

A
  • The skin of the abdomen grows and stretches to accommodate the expanding uterus often leading to stretch marks or striae
  • Skin over the breasts also grows as breasts enlarge in preparation for milk production
  • An increase in melanocyte stimulating hormone and estrogen darkens areola and creates a line of pigment from the umbilicus to the pubis called linea nigra
  • –Melanin production may also discolor skin on the face to create chloasma or “mask of pregnancy”
44
Q

Physical changes during pregnancy

Uterus

A
  • The uterus enlarges dramatically during first 16 weeks of gestation it grows from the size of a fist until it occupies most of the pelvic cavity
  • As pregnancy continues the uterus expands until it reaches the level of the xiphoid process and fills most of the abdominal cavity
  • —The uterus increases from its nonpregnant weight of 0.1lbs to about 2lbs by the end of pregnancy
45
Q

The onset of labor is thought to result from several factors including:

A

A decline in progesterone:

The release of oxytocin (OT):

46
Q

A decline in progesteron

A

progesterone inhibits uterine contractions

After 6 months of gestation the level of progesterone declines

The level of estrogen which stimulates uterine contractions continues to rise

Falling levels of progesterone combined with rising levels of estrogen lead to uterine irritability

47
Q

The release of oxytocin (OT)

A

toward the end of the pregnancy the posterior pituitary releases more oxytocin at the same time the uterus becomes increasingly sensitive to oxytocin Peking just before labour

Oxytocin causes the fetal membranes to release prostaglandins

Uterine stretching: stretching increases contractility

48
Q

3 stages of labour

A

dilation, expulsion and placental stages

49
Q

Parturition

A

the process of giving birth

50
Q

Stage 1: dilation of the cervix

A

Lasts 6 to 18 hours

51
Q

Primipara

Multipara

A

Primipara: women giving birth for first time

Multipara: women who have previously given birth

52
Q

Cervical effacement

A

the progressive thinning of the cervical walls

53
Q

Stage 2: expulsion of the baby

A

Begins when cervix is fully dilated- ends when baby is born

Lasts 30-60mins in primiparous women but can be much shorter in multiparous women

54
Q

Episiotomy

A

a surgical incision is sometimes made between the vagina and anus to enlarge the vaginal opening

55
Q

Stage 3: delivery of the placenta

A

Involves the delivery of afterbirth: the placenta, amnion and other fetal membranes

Lasts 5 to 30 minutes

56
Q

changes in neonates cardiovascular system

A

pressure changes in the heart cause the foramen ovale to shut and pressure changes in the pulmonary artery and aorta lead to the collapse of the ducts arteriosus

57
Q

changes in neonates respiratory system

A

although most neonates begin breathing spontaneously the first few breaths require considerable effort as they work to inflate collapsed alveoli

58
Q

changes in neonates immune system

A

neonates have weak immune systems at birth placing them at risk for an infection

59
Q

changes in neonates thermoregulation

A

neonates risk becoming hypothermic because their surface area in relationship to their size is larger than in a adult

60
Q

changes in neonates fluid balance

A

neonates require a fairly high fluid intake because their immature kidneys do not concentrate urine adequately
