Q

•double circulation of blood:
-fetoplacental circ- from fetus to villi
-uteroplacental circ- maternal blood circulates around villi
•no mixing b/w fetal and mother blood
•fetus connected via umbilical cord
Functions:
-provides O2 and nutrition for fetus
-has endocrine function: synthesizes hormones: (estrogen, progesterone, protein hormones)
•human placental lactogen, HPL
•human chorionic gonadotropin, HCG

Q

Increased volume of amniotic fluid

  • fetus unable to swallow and fluid accumulates
  • fluid is swallowed but not absorbed due to congenital obstruction of fetal upper intestinal tract

Q

One or more convulsions in a pregnant woman with preeclampsia

A

Eclampsia

17
Q

A malignant proliferation of trophoblastic tissue
•small percentage of patients
•can metastasize widely and kill patient

A

Choriocarcinoma

18
Q
  • sensitization of mother to a blood group antigen in fetal RBCs
  • mother forms antibodies that cross placenta
  • maternal antibodies damage fetal RBCs
  • fetus increases blood production to compensate for increased RBC destruction
A

Erythroblastosis fetalis

19
Q

Occurs most commonly between Rh- mother and Rh+ fetus
•mother becomes sensitized to foreign antigen in infants cells and forms anti-D antibodies that cross placenta into infants blood
•almost never occurs in first pregnancy

A

Rh hemolytic disease

20
Q

Partial replacement of blood of infant with hemolytic disease by blood lacking the antigen responsible for hemolytic disease, as when transfusing Rh-negative blood to an Rh-positive infant. Performed to reduce intensity of hemolytic jaundice.

A

Exchange transfusion

21
Q

Fluorescent light treatment of jaundiced Babies to reduce the concentration of unconjugated bilirubin in their blood.

A

Phototherapy

22
Q

A mild hemolytic disease in group A or B infants or group O mothers as a result of maternal anti-A and anti-B antibodies.

A

ABO Hemolytic disease

23
Q

ABO Hemolytic disease occurs in the ____________ ABO incompatible pregnancy because it is caused by pre existing anti-A and anti-B antibodies.

A

First

24
Q

ABO hemolytic disease is much _______ severe than Rh hemolytic disease because A and B antigens on fetal cells are not as well developed as on adult cells, so the antibody does not mix as firmly to the fetal red cells and does not cause as much red cell membrane damage.

A

Less
