92
Q

Spiral arteries-

A

the maternal blood enters the intervillous space from these in the deciduas basalis

93
Q

Amniochorionic membrane

A
  • amnion and smooth chorion fuse to form, this is what ruptures during labor
94
Q

A

protein hormones don’t reach the embryo or fetus in significant amounts except for slow transfer of thryroxine and triodothyronie. Steroid hormones pass the placental membrane freely

103
Q

Antibodies

A

maternal antibodies confer fetal immunity for diseases such as diptheria, smallpox and measles. No immunity for whooping cough or chickenpox

104
Q

Waste products

A

urea and uric acid pass through the placental membrane by simple diffusion and bilirubin is quickly cleared.

105

fetal drug addiction may occur after maternal use of drugs such as heroin and newborn infants may experience withdrawal symptoms

106
Q

Fetal infection

A

infectious agents may pass through the placental membrane and cause this

107
Q

Rubella virus

A

severe congenital anomalies may result

108
Q

Microorganisms

A

can cross the plasma membrane and enter the fetal blood (treponema pallidum- causes syphilis and toxoplasma gondii- produces destructive changes in the brain and eyes)

109
Q

Hormones for parturition

A

corticotrophin, adrenocortiotropin (ACTH), cortisol, oxytocin

110
Q

1st stage of labor

A

dilation stage begins with objective evidence of progressive dilation of the cervix, average duration of the first stages about 12 hrs for the first pregnancies and about 7 for women who had a kid already

111
Q

3rd stage of labor

A

begins as soon as baby is born and ends when the placenta and membranes are expelled – 15 min in most pregnancies, retraction of the uterus and manual compression of the abdomen reduce the area of placental attachment

112
Q

2nd stage of labor

A

cervix is fully dilated and ends with delivery of baby- 50 min for first kid 20 for having previous kid

113
Q

4th stage of labor

A

recovery stage, begins as soon as the placenta and fetal membranes are expelled- 2 hrs, contractions of the uterus constrict the spiral arteries, preventing excessive bleeding.

114
Q

Umbilical cord

A

the cord usually has 2 arteries and 1 vein that are surrounded by mucoid connective tissue (Wharton’s Jelly). True knots may tighten the cord and cause fetal death secondary to fetal anoxia

115
Q

Amnion, amniotic sac, amniotic fluid

A

amnion forms a fluid filled membranous amniotic sac that surrounds the embryo and fetus, amniotic fluid plays a major role in fetal growth and development.

116
Q

Yolk sac

A
  • by 20 wks the sac is very small and usually not visible, recognizable in ultrasound until end of first trimester
117
Q

Fate of yolk sac

A

usually detaches from the midgut loop by the end of 6th week. In about 2 percent of the adults, the proximal intra-abdominal part of the yolk stalk persists as an ileas diverticulum, known clinically as a Meckel’s diverticulum

118
Q

Allantois

A

during 2nd moth of development, the extraembryonic part of the allantois degenerates, its blood vessels become umbilical vein and arteries, as bladder enlarges, the allantois involutes to form a thick tube (urachus), after birth the urachus becomes the median umbilical ligament which extends from the apex of the urinary bladder to the umbilicus

119
Q

Dizygotic twins

A
  • result from fertilization of 2 oocytes by 2 different sperm. They always have 2 amnions and 2 chorions, but the chorions and placentas may be fused
120
Q

Monozygotic twins

A

develop from the fertilization of one oocyte and develop from 1 zygote, same sex and look almost the same, share a common placenta, a monochorionic diamniotic twin placenta

121
Q

Other types of multiple births

A
  • triplets may be derived from 1 zygote and be identical 2 zygotes and consist of identical twins and a singleton, 3 zygote an may be of same or different sex, in which case the infants are no more similar than infants from 3 different pregnancies. Similar in quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets, etc
122
Q

Teratology

Q

Mosaicism
