25
Endoderm gives rise to
Epithelial lining, lines glands and organs dealing with GI, and glandular cells of liver and pancreas
26
The caudal area develops what
Cloacal plate. which later forms the openings of the anus, urinary, and genital tracts
27
What is the area for the future heart
Cardiogenic Area
28
What can occur if remnants of the primitive streak remain
Give rise to a tumor
29
What is the most common tumor in newborns
Sacroccygeal Teratoma
30
What is the notochord
Mesoderm cells that migrate cranially to create a midline cord of cells
31
What is neurulation
Begins with the folding called neurulation and it's a Process of conversion of the neural plate from a neural tube happens in the beginning of the fourth week
32
What is the function of neurophores
Allows for communication with the amniotic cavity through large openings
33
What is Spina bifida and anencephaly
An interruption of the tube closure
34
What are somites
Segmented mesodermal tissue along neural tube, which gives rise to vertebral column, voluntary m., connective tissue, and skin
35
What is the primary chorioinic villi
Core of cytotrophoblast cells covered by syntrophoblasts
36
What is the secondary chorionic villi
Mesodermal cells penetrate the core of the cytotrophoblast cells of the primary villi
37
What is the tertiary chorionic villi
Mesodermal core differentiates into blood and blood vessels
38
What is Perinatology
Study of fetus and newborn as patient
39
What is Fetology
Studies concerned with the fetus
40
Amniocentesis
After 14 weeks, sampling of amniotic fluid by inserting a hollow needle into mother's abdominal and uterine wall
41
Indicators for Amniocentesis
Later maternal age 38+, previous chrmosomal abnormalities, family hx, or carrier of inborn metabolic disorder
42
Schedule of ultrasounds
7-8th week confirm and look for ectopic, 18th-20th malformations mult. pregnancy and postition of placenta, and 34th week fetal size growth and position
43
What is a Fetoscopy
Fiber optics to scan entire fetus
44
Fetoscopy risks
Higher risk factors, 5-6% of fetal death or spontaneous abortions can be up to 12%, and radiation exposure-thyroid abnormalities
45
Chorionic Villus Sampling
Biopsy of the chorionic villi by inserting a needle into the abdominal and uterine wall. 8th week. 2-3% fetal death
46
Alpha fetoprotein
Glycoprotein synthesized in fetal liver, yolk sack and gut
47
What is the Decidua Basalis
Where the placenta is attached
48
What is the Decidua Capsularis
At the aembryonic (opposite the embryo) end
49
What is the Decidua Parietalis
Opposite to the sides of implantation
50
The Amniochorionic Membrane is aka
The Amniotic Sac
51
Weight of the placenta
1/7 of the maternal weight
52
Fetal circulation Deoxy blood
Deoxy blood goes through arteries. The lungs are bypassed and do not receive oxygen
53
Umbilical Vein
Fetal blood is oxygenated through the placenta and passes into the umbilical vein
54
Rate of blood flow and fetal hypoxia
Rate is pretty high, but fetal hypoxia can occur due to acute reduction in maternal blood flow
55
4 layers of Placenta Membrane
Syntrophoblasts, Cytotrophoblasts, Connective tissue layer, Endothelium of fetal capillaries
56
How are materials transported across the placental membrane
Simple, facillitated, Active xport, or pinocytosis
57
Functions of Amniotic Fluid
Movement, Growth, prevents adherence, protections, nutrition, maintain temp, and lubricate cervix during birth
58
Oligohydramnios
400mL or less of amniotic fluid
59
Polyhydramnios
2000mL or more of amniotic fluid
60
Characteristics of the Umbilical cord
1-2 cm diameter, 50-60 cm length, Contains 1 vein and 2 arteries
61
When the yolk sac/secondary umbilical vesicle starts to degenerate, it retains a portion to become...
Vitelline vessels
62
What is Allantois
These vessels become urachus in the fetus, or the median umbilical ligament in adults
