Umbilical cord

24
Q

The Umbilical cord has (1/2) veins and (1/2) arteries

A

1 vein; 2 arteries

25

Deoxygenated

27
Q

Vascular bed formed by fetus that allows for the exchange of nutrients, gases and wastes between mom and fetus

A

Placenta

28
Q

Fetal and Maternal blood do NOT mix (True or False)

A

True (kept separate)

29
Q

What two membranes surround the fetus and the amniotic fluid within the Uterus

A

Amnion

Chorion

30
Q

The Amnion is (inside/outside) and the Chorion is (inside/outside)

A

Amnion–> inside

Chorion–> outside

31
Q

At Day _____ of gestation, we exist as a Blastocyst

A

4

32
Q

The outer ring of the Blastocyst that binds to the Uterus and forms the Placenta and Chorion is called the…

A

Trophoblast

33
Q

The inner swelling of the Blastocyst that eventually forms us is called the…

A

Inner Cell Mass

34
Q

Inner layer of the Uterus that the Blastocyst implants into

Endometrium

35
Q

What part of the Blastocyst forms the Placenta and Chorion

A

Trophoblast

36
Q

The Amnion forms from the Trophoblast (True or False)

A

False (forms around fetus/Inner Cell Mass)

37
Q

The (fetal/maternal) side of the Placenta is smooth, covered by Amnion and has the Umbilical cord

A

Fetal

38
Q

The (fetal/maternal) side of the Placenta is irregular and is composed of Cotyledons (vascular segments)

A

Maternal

39
Q

The Umbilical arteries and veins within the cord branch extensively to form the _______________ __________ and _____________ in the Placenta

A

Chorionic Plate and Villi

40
Q

Chorionic Villi are bathed in maternal blood within the ____________________ spaces

A

Intervillous

41
Q

Chorion; Amnion

45
Q

Dizygotic twins are ALWAYS Dichorionic and Diamniotic (True or False)

A

True (because were two separately fertilized eggs)

46
Q

Why are Monozygotic twins variable in regards to sharing a Chorion and Amnion

A

Depends on when they divided

47
Q

Most common congenital anomalies of the Female Reproductive system involve the….

A

Uterus (depending on Mullerian duct formation/agenesis)
