First Trimester Flashcards
Gravid (G)
the number of times a women is pregnant,
regardless of delivery
Para (P)
refers to a delivery of a fetus weighing 500 grams
or more and is over 20 weeks gestation regardless if fetus is alive at birth. Multiple births are considered a single para event
Fetus
a developing young in the human uterus > 8 weeks
menstrual age
Embryo
period is from 2nd through 8th menstrual weeks
Menstrual age or Gestational age
refers to the age of the pregnancy calculated from the first day of the LM
Conceptual age
refers to the age of the pregnancy from the calculated ovulation
Conceptual age used by who
Embryologist
Early embryology Step 1
Zygote
Ovum and sperm join in the distal fallopian tube (ampullary portion)
Early embryology Step 2
Morula
Cells of the zygote multiply, cluster
Early embryology Step 3
Blastocyte
enters uterus and fluid rapidly enters forming a blastocyst
Early embryology Step 4
Blastocyst implants into
endo
After 9 menstrual weeks, the embryo is called
a fetus
1st 9 menstrual w is called an
embyro
During a _____ day cycle, a mature ovum is realed at day ____
28
14
Fimbriae
ovum is swept into teh distal fallopian tube
Fertilizationg occurs
1-2 days after ovulation
hCG is produced by
trophoblastic cells of developing chorionic villa
hCG doubles every
30-48 hours
hCG peaks at
10th gest w
hCG declines
after 10th w and levels out at 18 w
hCG
GS should be identified TV at
1000 mIU/mL
hCG allows the
corpus luteum to continue to secrete progesterone
causes ut to not shed endo lining
Decidual reaction
- 3 layers
- double decidua sign
- help defferentiate an IUP from ectopic
Deciduas capsularies
covers the surface of the blastocyte
Decidual basalis
located between the conceptus and the uterine wall
Decidual parietalis (or decidua vera)
covers the remainder of the uterus
Neural Plate begins to form around
- 4th w
- when closes, forms neural tube
- if fails, result is neural tube defect
Primitive heart develops
- 5th w
- by 8th should have definite form
vascular network begins to develop by the end of
8th w
peripheral vascular system is completed by end of
10th w
Kidneys ascend from pelvis starting at
8 w
When do the kidneys get into their final position
11th w
All limbs formed by
- 10 w
almost all congenital abnormalities occur before or during
embryonic period
normal sac can be identified by
5 menstural weeks TA
Implantation implants in the ___ of the uterus
fundus
low implantation in ut has increased risk of
abortion
GS shape
starts out round and becomes kidney shaped
Secondary Yolk Sac present by
5.5 menstrual w
secondary yolk sac appears
round w. echogenic wall and sonolucent center
