Q

Trophoblastic cells

A

Produce hCG
Causes decidual reaction
Nourishes early pregnancy
Eat into the decidua to form lacunae, which promote reproduction of the trophoblastic cells and form a capillary network that will begin the transfusion of blood from mother to embryo

Q

What can we tell from hCG?

A

Does it correlate with size of sac?
Is it increasing the way it should?
Ectopic often does not increase properly
Trisomy 21 often increases more than it should
Is it decreasing before or later than it should?
Demise will cause a sudden drop
Trisomy 21 decreases later than 10 weeks

23
Q

Gestasional sac grows how fast

A

1mm per day

10 weeks average 35-45mm MSD

24
Q

Appropriate placement and shape for gestational sac

A

fundus of the uterus ; oval/round

25
Q

Decidual wall thickness of gestational sac

A

3mm or more

26
Q

Mean Sac Diameter

A

length + width + height /3

27
Q

Decidua Basalis

A

on the myometrial side of decidual reaction

28
Q

Decidua Capsularis

A

the villi covering the developing embryo

29
Q

yolk sac is seen between weeks

A

5 - 5.5 weeks

GS MSD- 12mm/ and no greater than 20 mm

30
Q

Yolk sac diameter up to

A

6mm

31
Q

Embryo seen at GS MSD of

A

18mm

32
Q

Function of the yolk sac

A

Nutrients to embryo
Hematopoiesis
Develops embryonic endoderm that forms the primitive gut

At 8 weeks with expansion of amnion it disconnects from the stalk
Usually not seen after 12 weeks

33
Q

Heart motion

A

4 mm CRL
5- 5.5 weeks
Adjacent to YS

34
Q

At how many weeks can the amnion membrane be seen

A

5.5 weeks

35
Q

The amnion membrane separates what

A

the amnion from the chorion

36
Q

The amnion and chorion fuse at ____ weeks

A

14-15

37
Q

T/F: In a normal pregnancy the chorion may have low level echoes

A

True (waste from early embryo)

38
Q

What happens at 5 weeks?

A

bilaminar embryonic disk undergoes gastrulation and converts into trilaminar embryonic disk

Oranogenesis begins

39
Q

What happens at 6 weeks?

A

At 6 weeks the trilaminar embryonic disk begins to fold which creates a C shaped embryo

40
Q

During embryonic folding, what develops?

A

dorsal aspect of yolk sac incorporated into embryo, developing foregut, midgut, hindgut, and forming entire gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary tract, pancreas

41
Q

While embryonic folding continues what forms?

A

embryonic head, caudal portions, and lateral folds form, resulting in constriction or narrowing between embryo and yolk sac, creating the yolk stalk.

42
Q

What three structures create the umbilical cord?

A
  1. Yolk stalk
  2. Connecting stalk
  3. Allantois
43
Q

When does the spine start to develop?

A

week 6

44
Q

when does the brain start to develop?

A

week 7

45
Q

What three vesicles form at week 8?

A

Prosencephalon
Mesencephalon
Rhombencephalon

46
Q

The Rhombencephalon divides further into what?

A

Metencephalon: Cephalic section
Myelencephalon: Caudal section

47
Q

The echogenic line seen in the crainium in 8.5-9 weeks is called what?

A

Midline falx

48
Q

The lateral ventricles also seen at in week 8.5-9 is called what?

A

choroid plexus

49
Q
