Q

When does oogenesis begin?

When does spermatogenesis begin?

A

oogenesis: during fetal life. When a female is born, she is born with all the eggs she will ever have (2 million, most of which degenerate, leaving only 400-500)
spermatogenesis: starting from puberty, continues into 80s and 90s.

Q

Describe Ovulation

  • what occurs
  • hormones responsible for follicular rupture
  • what occurs to make fraternal twins possible
A

Each month one ova matures and is released from its ruptured ovarian follicle

hormones responsible: LH, FSH. Occasionally, two ovum

are released, making fraternal twins possible

Q

Serves two main functions-

45
Q

uterine rupture

46
Q

3 shunts in fetal life

ductus venosus (umbilical vein to IVC)
foramen ovale (R to L shunt)
ductus arteriosus (pulmonary vein to aorta)
47
Q

which shunt is related to the bypass of the lungs?

A

ductus arteriosus

48
Q

what happens to blood in the fetal circulatory system?

A
  • oxygenated blood goes from placenta to baby through umbilical vein.
  • vein branches at liver and goes up IVC through ductus venosus
  • goes to RA
  • Passes to LA through foramen ovale
  • goes to LV and into aorta via ductus arteriosus, which then goes to head/neck
  • deoxygenated blood from head/neck return to RA via SVC
  • Blood goes to RV, where it goes to pulmonary artery
  • lung tissue resistant, most blood goes through ductus arteriosus
  • goes through abdominal aorta and umbilical arteries where it goes back to the placenta.
  • blood cleaned & returns to baby

A

intubation until more alveolar form

77

At what week does a baby have enough surfactant to have the best chance of survival?

A

32 weeks

A

2:1

diabetes

also hypoglycemia post delivery.

92

US at 16 weeks.

94
Q

Baby girl is showing bloody vag discharge and/or breast discharge. Baby boy has a GIGANTIC SCROTUM.

what is this caused by?

A

maternal hormones.

A

spina bifuda

if higher on spinal cord, paralysis of all extremities
if lower, lower extremity paralysis

96
Q

Why are skull bones not completely ossified at birth?

A

allows for molding of bones to fit through birth canal. Connective tissue where bones meet are called fontanels

If bones are broken, suspect abuse.
