A

wharton’s jelly

31
Q

2 factors that help umbilical cord not to kink and cut off blood/oxygen supply

A

wharton’s jelly

twisting of cord

32
Q

deoxygenated blood is carried through umbilical arteries or vein

A

arteries

33
Q

oxygenated blood is carried through umbilical arteries or vein

A

vein

34
Q

fingerlike projections into mom’s intervillous space (pool of blood) that receive oxygen and nutrients and bring back to baby

A

chorionic villi

35
Q

a chorionic villi that connects all the way down to mom’s endometrium

A

anchoring villi

36
Q

when trophoblasts from fetus line uterine spiral arteries, causing them to dilate and lengthen, giving more blood to the growing fetus. (decreases maternal bp)

A

vascular remodeling

37
Q

what event can lead eventually to pre-eclampsia

A

failure of vascular remodeling

38
Q

15-20 lobes on placenta that are functional units in anchoring villi

A

cotyledon

39
Q

4 functions of the placenta

A
  • endocrine organ
  • metabolism
  • transport
  • immunology
40
Q

endocrine function of placenta

A

produces estrogen, progesterone, HCG, human placental lactogen (HPL)

41
Q

metabolic function of placenta

A

synthesizes glycogen, fatty acids, cholesterol and enzymes

42
Q

transport function of placenta

A

transports gases, nutrients, waste, drugs, etc

43
Q

immunologic function of placenta

A
  • filters some pathogens (large molecules such as some bacteria)
  • prevents rejection (cloaks baby’s DNA)
44
Q

immunologic function of placenta

A
  • filters some pathogens (large molecules such as some bacteria)
  • prevents rejection (cloaks baby’s DNA)
45
Q

why do we use the 1st day of the mother’s last menstrual cycle for gestational age to determine the due date

A

because we can’t be completely sure of the date of conception

46
Q

earliest system of fetus to function

A

circulatory (heart)

47
Q

3 shunts that permit most of the fetus’ blood to bypass the liver and lungs

A
  • ductus venosus
  • foramen ovale
  • ductus arteriosus
48
Q

shunt that shunts blood to bypass liver to inferior vena cava

A

ductus venosus

49
Q

hole between two atria of fetal heart to allows blood to shunt through to the left atrium (blood is already oxygenated, so it can bypass the lungs)

A

foramen ovale

50
Q

shunt that allows deoxygenated blood from RV of heart to pulmonary trunk to this shunt into aorta (bypasses lungs)

A

ductus arteriosus

51
Q

when does resp system start developing

A

embryonic stage (continues into early childhood)

52
Q

MSF

A

meconium stained fluid

53
Q

when do the kidneys start functioning

cord entanglement

62
Q

nongenetic factors influencing development (3)

A
  • environmental factors
  • teratogen exposure
  • poor maternal nutrition (ex: folic acid)
63
Q

any agent or non-genetic factor that produces permanent abnormal embryonic physical development or physiology

A

teratogen

64
Q

principle of teratogen: if mom is exposed to teratogen during first 2 weeks after conception, it will either cause miscarriage or no effect

A

all or none phenomenon

65
Q

principle of teratogen: how much of substance was mom exposed to

A

dose dependency

66
Q

principle of teratogen: over what period of time was baby exposed to a harmful substance

A

duration of exposure

67
Q

principle of teratogen: OTC or Rx meds that affect how moms body utilizes the substance and how it can affect the fetus

A

drug interactions

68
Q

principle of teratogen: possibility that something harmful will effect one fetus vs another

A

host susceptibility

69
Q

what might teratogens effect during fetal period

A

structural defects

fetal growth restriction

70
Q

principle of teratogen: teratogen effects baby more or less depending on what stage in pregnancy fetus was

A

critical periods for certain effects

71
Q

when is most critical period for harmful effects of teratogens for fetus

A

embryonic stage (2-8 weeks)

72
Q

known/strongly suspected teratogens

A
