Embryo Fetus
Gestation
Pregnancy
What are the stages of fetal development
Pre embryonic Embryonic Fetal
Describe what happens in each stage of fetal development Include the length of time that each stage last
The pre-embryonic (zygote) stage Occurs at two weeks when fertilization cell reproduction and implantation occursThe embryonic stage is from 2 to 8 weeks in which the embryo is nourished and develops The fetal stage is from the ninth week to birth and it is for growth and development of the fetus and usually last between 30 and 40 weeks
Morula

Blastocyst Blastocyst Trophoblast
The ____ develops within 35 days and becomes the embryo
Trophoblast
_____ Secretes HCG
Blastocyst
HCG signals ____ to stick around
The corpus luteum
The endometrium stays in place because of
Increased progesterone
Eventually there endometrium becomes the
DeciduaAnd The dicidua is what stays intact during pregnancy

38 40 38 and 40
Chorion
Putter most later of the developing cells
The ___ is the inner layer of the cell that eventually becomes the ____
Amnion Amnionic sac
What is the purpose of amnionic fluid
Maintain temperatureSymmetrical GrowthMovement shock absorberPrevent skin from sticking to amnion
What are germ layers
Give rise to specific tissues and organs
Yolk sac
Forms RBCs for the first 6 weeks
What is the name of the temporary organ the facilities transfer of food from mom to fetus
Placenta
The placenta produces what
Fatty acids glycogen and cholesterol
The placenta is where ____ takes place
Metabolism
Describe the drug pregnancy categories
A- Do not cross placentaB- Crosses without severe defectsC- Crosses placenta membraneX - Cannot be given
Name to placental hormones and describe their function
.
What does the placental hormone progesterone do
Maintain Uterine liningReduces uterine contractions Prepares alveolar glands
What does the placental hormone estrogen do
Stimulates uterine growth increases blood flow to uterusstimulates lactiferous development
What does the placental hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin do
Signals corpus luteum regulates steroid production in fetus
What does the placental hormone human placental lactogen do
Helps increase glucose production helps with breast development increases resistance to insulin
Human placental Lactogen is produced only during
The first trimester
the human placenta lactogen hormone helps to secrete extra glucose and helps bring that insulin so that the fetus can use the extra glucose at about 12 weeks the fetus can take over and produce its own glucose if it doesn’t settle down and mom doesn’t stop producing the extra glucose she may develop what
Gestational diabetes
