Chapter 6 Flashcards
The time of the onset of labor until the cervix is dilated to 3 cm
initial (latent) labor phase
eggs and sperm simultaneously shed into water
external fertilization
no uterine epithelium type of mammalian placenta; Occurs in ruminant mammals (cattle, sheep, etc.)
syndesmochorial
apposition without fusion (non-deciduous)
primitive condition
enzymes that locally dissolve egg membranes
sperm lysins produced by acrosomal cap
for internal fertilization, sperm travel within female tract by
passive transport
causes cretinism
iodine deficiency
causes neural tube defects
folate deficiency
delivery of the placenta stage of placenta
third stage
Human from week 9 of development to birth
fetus
Continues from 3 cm until the cervix is dilated to 7 cm
active labor phase
forms from outer somatopleure + ectoderm (outside)
chorion
forms from inner somatopleure + ectoderm (inside)
amnion
advanced condition type of mammalian placenta; ▪ Chorionic epithelium bathed in maternal blood
▪ Occurs in primates and many rodents
hemochorial
The time of the onset of true labor until the cervix is completely dilated to 10 cm
first stage of childbirth
tissues external to embryo not participating in
embryo formation, but functioning in maintenance of the embryo
extraembryonic membranes
no maternal epithelium or ct type of mammalian placenta; Occurs in carnivores
endothelilochorial
sperm introduced directly into female tract
internal fertilization
(blood supply) marsupials mostly ___ ___
Choriovitelline fetal placenta
development of the egg in the absence of sperm
parthenogenesis
The period of childbirth after the cervix is dilated to 10 cm until the baby is delivered
second stage
Continues from 7 cm until the cervix is fully dilated to 10 cm
transition phase
main gas exchange organ for Amniote embryos
chorioallantoic membrane
(German measles) can cause birth defects
rubella
(blood supply) placentals
Chorioallantoic fetal placenta
forms from extraembryonic hypomere (splanchnopleure) that expands to enclose yolk
yolk sac
most primitive type of mammalian placenta; Occurs in pig and some other mammals
▪Maternal and fetal blood separated by 6 layers:
endothelium, CT, epithelium, epithelium, CT, endothelium
epitheliochorial
Milk production by a female mammal
lactation
outgrowth of splanchnopleure from posterior
region of gut in Amniotes eventually expands
to fill extraembryonic coelom composed of splanchnic mesoderm (outside) + endoderm
allantois
fusion of maternal and fetal tissues (deciduous)
advanced condition
Expulsion of a placental mammal from its mother’s uterus by muscle contractions
