Exam 1 Materials Flashcards
(155 cards)
What are three important dates during week one of development? What happens on each day?
Day 1- Zygote formed after fertilization in ampulla of uterine tube
Day 4- Morula enters Uterus
Day 6- implantation of blastocyst begins
When is the preembryonic, embryonic, and fetal periods of prenatal development? What happens in each period?
Weeks 1 & 2: Pre-Embryonic. Fertilization & implantation
Weeks 3-8; Embryonic. Germ layers developed & organogenesis.
Weeks 9-38: Fetal. Growth & maturation of organ systems
What period and week do most birth defects appear? Why?
embryonic period 3-8 weeks b/c its the period of organogenesis
approximately___% of embryos are spontaneously _______ in the ________period
50%, aborted, pre-embryonic period
_________account for ____% of spontaneous abortions and ____% of birth defects and develop primarily during ______ stage of _________.
Chromosomal aberrations, 25%, 12%, Meiosis, gametogenesis.
When does M1 begin in female oogenesis? When does it end and M2 begin? when does M2 end? what is the product of oogenesis?
M1 begins-prenatal
M1 ends (completed at ovulation) M2 arrested until ovulation.
M2 ends at fertilization.
produces 1 oocyte, 3 polar bodies (not viable).
What is capacitation? How many capacitated sperm reach oocyte?
7 hour conditioning of sperm where the glycoprotein coat on sperm head is removed to facilitate fertilization. 300 to 500 reach oocyte
What percent of couples are infertile and why?
15-30%. Infecction, low sperm count, motility issues, ovulation disorders, cysts, fibroids
Mosaicism
MITOTIC (not meiotic) nondisjunction during cleavage. Generally less severe mosaic down syndrome.
Week 2 events? What are primary nutrition sources? When is uteroplacental circulation fully established?
Uteroplacental exchange begins. Syncytiotrophoblast invaginates uterine wall. Primary nutrition sources are uterine gland secretions then becomes the uteroplacental exchange of vascular lacunae
Implantation bleeding. What secretes hCG? what cascade sustains embryonic growth? What day levels detect w/ prego test?
can be mistaken for menstrual bleeding and effect age estimates. Syncytiotrophoblast secretes hCG.
hCG stimulates progesterone to increase uterine blood flow to sustain embryonic growth.
hCG linked to hyperemesis gravidium
what causes hydatidiform mole? What called if malignant? What sign exists for mole?
embryoblast absent/incomplete and trophoblast continues to function/implant/grow without growth regulators from embryoblast and forms large tumor. choriocarcinoma if malignant. Elevated hCG.
epiblast cavitation forms what cavity? What is the bilaminar disk?
amniotic cavity. embryoblast divides into hypoblast and epiblast then cavity forms in epiblast to form amniotic cavity. hypoblast becomes PYS.
Hypoblast development? PYS,EM,CC,SYS
hypoblast migrates out to line the primary yoke sac, then differentiates further to form the EM: extraembryonic mesoderm. Cavitation of the EM creates a CC: Chorionic cavity which compresses the primary yolk sac into becoming a secondary yolk sac.
Ectoderm gives rise to what?
Surface ectoderm-> epidermis (hair, nails, glands)
Neuro ectoderm -> NEURAL TUBE-> CNS
NEURAL CREST->PNS and more
Endoderm turns into what organs?
epithelial lining of GI & respiratory systems
Mesoderm turns into what ?
Paraxial, intermediate, lateral plate Turn into what?
Paraxial (somites)-
- Sclerotome -> vertebrae & ribs
- Dermatome -> dermis
- Myotome -> skeletal muscle
Intermediate -> Urinary & reproductive systems
Lateral Plate
- Parietal –> CT, Cartilage, bones & limbs
- Visceral –>Gi & Respiratory organs (except epithelium)
Identify Neural fold, Neural Groove, Neural tube, notochord, somites
Neural fold- speed humps
Neural groove almost barreled
Neural Tube- doughnut
H&E, PAS, Trichrome, silver, orcein, Sudan red, osmic acid Stains
HE- Hematoxylin blue, eosin red PAS-carbs magenta TRICHROME- Collagen fibers blue/green SILVER- reticular fibers/collagen- BLACK ORCEIN- Elastic fibers brown/black SudanRED-lipids red, OSMIC ACID-lipids Black
What happens at week 10, 12, 15, and 24-28 weeks?
10- swallowing & urine formation (important for GI)
12- long bone ossification centers formed
12- external genitals visible w/ ultrasound
15- respiratory movements
24-28- sound & light recognition
What do you use Ultrasound for monitoring? What measurements made? when can you use it?
Fetal weight, size, age, developmental defects, nutritional deficiencies.circulation. CRL, Biparietal diameter (around crown), AC, (ab circ). FL. use it after 5 weeks
EFW? SGA?
Estimated Fetal Weight
Small for Gestational Age-> low EFW for age but normal weight for the size of fetus
Low EFW for age, low EFW for size is a result of what two possible things? how much more likely is mortality?
Intrauterine growth restriction
or
In utero growth retardation (IUGR)
30X more likely mortality
fFN Test? what does it assess? how? when?
fetal fibronectin test. Assesses preterm delivery risk. by taking vaginal swab for placental adhesive glycoproteins and is reliable between weeks 22-34. Preterm skin is red/wrinkled paucity of dermal ct
