HS 5 CHAP 5 Flashcards
It begins with conception
GERMINAL PERIOD
It Ends when fertilized egg implants in uterine wall
GERMINAL PERIOD
Fertilized egg
Zygote
After five days of mitosis
100 cells = blastocyst
It last
Day 0- Day 14 or 2 weeks’ long
Cell division occurs
mitosis
Inner layer
Embryonic disk
(becomes the embryo)
Outer layer of cells
Trophoblast
organ that surrounds the developing embryo and is attached to the wall of the uterus
Development of the placenta
Begins duplication and division within hours of conception
Zygote
Developing organism burrows into the placenta that lines the uterus
Implantation (about 10 days after conception)
Pregnancy can be detected due to new chemicals in the mother’s urine
Organism grows rapidly
EMBRYONIC PERIOD
From 3-8 weeks after conception
Outer cell mass is called
PLACENTA
Structure attached to the uterus
Blood vessels from trophoblast form placenta
Major structures
(organs, limbs, brain)
Provides nourishment and oxygen from
Blood vessels from trophoblast form placenta
Vulnerable to damage from harmful agents
start to develop
From the midline outward
Proximodistal
From head to tail
Cephalocaudal
Developing human organism from about the______
3rd through the 8th week after conception
From 9 weeks post-conception until birth
FETAL PERIOD
Major structures continue to develop
FETAL PERIOD
Developing human organism from the start of the 9th week after conception until birth
Fetus
Age of viability
First chance of
survival outside uterus (24 weeks)
cephalocaudal and proximodistal growth
Fetus
Age at which a preterm newborn may survive outside the mother’s uterus if medical care is available
AGE OF VIABILITY
About 22 weeks after conception
AGE OF VIABILITY
Fetal stage begins
9 weeks
Sex organs differentiate
12 weeks
Finger and toes develop
16 weeks
Hearing begins
20 weeks
Bones fully develop
32 weeks

36 weeks
Lungs begins develop
24 weeks
Full term development
40 weeks
Neural groove appears during
3rd week
Mostly completed after five months of gestation
Neurogenesis (formation of neurons)
Responsible for movement and cognitive activity
Gray matter
Regions of brain that contain cell bodies
Gray matter
Axons that form neural pathways
White matter
Earlier is usually worse
Timing
Covered with myelin – Fatty substance
White matter
Environmental factors that can contribute to birth defects
TERATOGENS
Teratogens may interact
Number
More is usually worse
Exposure
Sex, genetic vulnerability
Genetics
Time When Teratogens Can Interfere With Recent Growth
Sensitive Period
Leading preventable cause of intellectual disability
ALCOHOL
Certain Teratogens Are Relatively Harmless Until Exposure Reaches a Certain Level
Threshold Effect
High Doses Can Be Harmful
Vitamin A
Caused by parasite in raw meat, cat feces, dirt
TOXOPLASMOSIS
mostly preventable through vaccination
RUBELLA (GERMAN MEASLES)
associated with increased risk of prematurity and low birthweight
Teenage
body can’t manage glucose appropriately.
Gestational diabetes
too much pressure on artery walls
Hypertension
type of anemia in baby
RH DISEASE
should be about 25 pounds
WEIGHT GAIN
feelings of sadness lasting about a week after birth
BABY BLUES
longer-lasting depression starting in first month after birth
POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION
sound waves used to examine the fetus
ULTRASOUND
sample amniotic fluid
AMNIOCENTESIS
inability to conceive within 12 months
INFERTILITY
implant both sperm and ova into the fallopian tube
GAMETE INTRA-FALLOPIAN TUBE TRANSFER (GIFT)
sample placenta
CHORIONIC VILLUS SAMPLING
infection of reproductive organs, often caused by std
PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE
remove eggs and fertilize outside the body
IN VITRO FERTILIZATION (IVF)
zygote implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus
ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
sperm and ova are fertilized outside of the body
ZYGOTE INTRA-FALLOPIAN TUBE TRANSFER (ZIFT)
increased blood pressure and leakage of protein in urine
PREECLAMPSIA (TOXEMIA)
when preeclampsia causes seizures
eclampsia
cervix dilates to
10cm (4 inches)
typically lasts
12-16 hours
incision made between the vaginal opening and anus to avoid tearing the tissue
EPISIOTOMY
Placenta delivered within ____ minutes of birth
20
surgical procedure to remove baby through abdomen
CESAREAN SECTION
local anesthetic injected in area around spine
EPIDURAL BLOCK
