S&S of polyhydramnios?
malformations of esophagus and upper GI, inhibited fetal swallowing, aneuploidy, intermittent renal obstruction, MD, TTTS
Chronic Villi Sampling risk?
limb abnormalities
what is the difference between DNA, gene, chromosome?
DNA-double stranded nucleoid acid build of nucleotides (A, T, G, C) and sugar deoxyribose
Chromosome- structural unit composed of DNA on a framework of proteins, carry genetic information, each human cell has 23 chromosomes
Gene-a sequence of chromosomal DNA that can specify the sequence of amino acids in a particular polypeptide
Chromosome carries genes
genes carry DNA
maternal DM causes what?
TGA, VSD, cardiomyopathy, renal abnormalities, NTDs
who has Wolf and Mull ducts?
Wolffian and Müllerian ducts, also known as mesonephric and paramesonephric ducts, respectively. The Wolffian duct remains in males and the Müllerian duct persists in females
variable decels are caused by?
compression of the umbilical cord and represent physiologic changes in response to alternations in vascular resistance and preload

zygotic development pattern
cranio-caudal?
best predictor of premature labor
cervical length
Fetal fibronectin fFN
noise exposure for the fetus

Amniotic band sequence
group of birth defects that result when strands of the amniotic sac detach and wrap around parts of the baby in the womb. The defects may affect the face, arms, legs, fingers, or toes
