Q

follicular phase

A
  • anterior lobe of pituitary secretes follicle stimulating hormone which stimulates the development of a follicle in the ovary- maturing egg follicle secretes estrogen, which thickens the endometrium to prepare for the implanting of the fertilized egg
  • elevated estrogen levels cause FSH to stop and luteinizing hormone is released by the pituitary gland

Q

luteal phase

A
  • begins on the day the egg is released
  • LH peaks on approx day 14 of the cycle, causing ovulation or the release of the egg from the follicle
  • LH converts the ruptured follicle into the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone
  • progesterone completes the development of the uterine lining in preparation for a fertilized egg
  • if egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum degenerates dropping levels of progesterone and estrogen
  • uterine lining sheds and menstrual cycle begins again

46
Q

fertilization

A
  • occurs when the sperm and the egg (gametes) meet in the same place at the same time after intercourse
  • occurs in the outer third portion of the fallopian tube
  • only one sperm will penetrate the egg’s outer layer and fertilize the ovum
47
Q

each gamete typically has…

A

one set of 23 single chromosomes; when fused, a total of 46 chromosomes produce the zygote

48
Q

embryo sex is determined at…

A

fertilization by the male gamete; xx chromosome for genetically female, xy chromosome for genetically male

49
Q

upon fertilization, the zygote…

A

divides during mitosis and travels down the fallopian tube to implant in the uterine lining
- estrogen and progesterone levels remain high
- human chorionic gonadotropin is produced to support the development of the embryo
- elevated levels of hCG can be detected by a blood test 1 days after conception and in urine tests 12-14 days after conception

50
Q

embryo

A

the stage of development between the fertilized ovum and the fetus

51
Q

blastocyst

A

a maturing embryo in which some cell differentiation has occurred
- in blastocyst stage, embryo implants 7-10 days after fertilization into the uterine endometrium

52
Q

placenta

A

an organ that develops at the site of implantation to sustain the fetus during intrauterine life or the gestation period

53
Q

the embryo changes through the processes of…

A

morphogenesis and cell differentiation

54
Q

fetal circulation

A
  • in the uterus, the mother’s body provides oxygenation, filtration, and nutrition to the fetus
  • oxygenated blood from the mother enters the fetus’s blood through the umbilical vein
  • the ductus venosus allows oxygenated blood to bypass the liver and combined with deoxygenated blood i the inferior vena cava
  • blood rejoins deoxygenated blood from the superior vena cava and goes to the right atrium
  • the foramen ovale (a small hole between the atria) allows blood to move to and from the right atrium to the left atrium
  • small amount of blood moves from right atrium to right ventricle into pulmonary system
  • most blood bypasses pulmonary arteries and moves directly into aorta through ductus arteriosus and out to the rest of the body
  • deoxygenated blood returns to placenta through umbilical arteries
55
Q

first trimester (week 1-12)

A
  • a critical time of rapid changes to the fertilized cell; development of major organs and structures
  • 3 germ layers are created within 2 weeks after fertilization as foundation for the body tissues and organs
  • ectoderm: outer layer; nervous system, skin epidermis, glands, tooth enamel, and lens and cornea of the eye
  • 3 germ layers are created within 2 weeks after fertilization as foundation for the body tisues and organs
56
Q

mesoderm

A

middle layer; connective tissue, musculoskeletal, circulatory system, and the dermis of the skin

57
Q

endoderm

A

inner layer; digestive tract, accessory organs, respiratory tract, kidney nephrons, bladder, and endocrine glands

58
Q

second trimester (weeks 13-28)

A
  • organs and structures develop
  • the woman becomes more aware of growing fetus
59
Q

third trimester (weeks 29-40)

A
  • the fetus gains weight, matures, and prepares for life outside the uterus
60
Q

reducing the risk of birth defects include

A
  • avoiding all medications unless directed by the provider
  • avoiding alcohol
  • avoiding tobacco
  • avoiding street drugs
  • having a healthy diet
  • avoiding harmful substances and cat feces
61
Q

placenta

A
  • provides oxygen and nourishment
  • fetal cells (trophoblasts) attach to the uterus wall and grow into uterine tissue
  • connect indirectly with mother’s blood vessels
  • fetal blood vessels form in the placental villi and the vessels connect back to the fetus through the umbilical cord, which attaches the fetus to the placenta
  • measures 15-20cm and weighs about lb
  • also functions as an endocrine organ by producing progesterone, estrogen, hcg, human placental lactogen, relaxin
62
Q

villi form

A

these are finger like projections that are responsible for gas, nutrient, and antibody exchange as well as waste removal

63
Q

progesterone

A

supports the endometrium; calms and quiets the uterine muscle

64
Q

estrogen

A

stimulates breast development for breastfeeding and the growth of the myometrium; improves blood flow between placenta and fetus

65
Q

hCG

A

stimulates the corpus luteum for estrogen and progesterone production; used to determine pregnancy

66
Q

human placental lactogen

A

assists with milk preparation and increases the mother’s metabolism during pregnancy

67
Q

relaxin

A

maintains pregnancy together with progesterone; causes relaxation of pelvic ligaments

68
Q

umbilical cord

A
  • joins the fetus to the placenta
  • composed of 2 arteries and one vein
  • vessels are surrounded by wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance that provides support and protection inside the cord
  • the site where the umbilical cord was attached to the fetus is known as the umbilicus, navel/bellybutton
69
Q

chorion

A

a thick membrane that develops from trophoblast and becomes part of the placenta villi to support the growing embryo

70
Q

amniotic membrane

A

a thin membrane from the ectoderm that contains amniotic fluid and the growing fetus

71
Q

amniotic fluid

A

functions as cushion to the fetus, allows fetal movement, and can be used for fetal health and maturity analysis; average volume is 700-800mL. Variations can indicate potential health problems.

72
Q

multiple pregnancy occurs when…

A

the woman has 2 or more embryos in the uterus
- identical: embryos from the same egg
- fraternal: embryos from 2 or more eggs

73
Q

monozygotic twins

A

form when a single fertilized egg splits; separate amniotic sacs but share a placenta; always the same sex

74
Q

dizygotic twins

A

two eggs fertilized by two separate sperm; each embryo has its own amniotic sac and placenta; with similarities but will not have the exact same genetic material

75
Q

contributing factors for multiple pregnancy

A

older than age 35
African American descent
family history of twins
undergone fertility treatment
previous multiple births

76
Q

teratogen

A
  • any substance that may cause a birth defect
  • most substances can cross the placenta from the mother and the fetus and cause abnormalities

Q

marijuana

  • most widely used by pregnant women
  • affects neurological development of the newborn
82
Q
