HUman BIo Flashcards
A
Unassisted Fertilization: Surgery
Blocks uterine tubes & Vas deferens
Removal of Fibroids and endometrial cells
Unassisted Fertilization: Ovulation tracking
Tracks when LH lvls are high, usually meaning ovulation most likely to occur = best chance at conceiving
Unassisted Fertilization: Ovulation Induction
Use of hormones to trigger ovulation
FSH
HCG
Unassisted Fertilization: Artifical insemination
Sperm is released into the uterus. Sperm naturally move through fallopian tubes
Assisted Fertilization: Gameta intrafallopian transfer
- Hormones stimulate production of multiple eggs
- Sperm and egg collect & mixed in labortory
- Surgically injection into fallopian tubes
allowing natural fertilization and implantation
Assisted Fertilization: Surgical Sperm Retrieval
Use of surgery to collect sperm from epididymis or testes
Assisted Fertilization: Intracytoplasmic sperm injected
Same as IVF, but sperm is unfertilized and is injected into the ovum
Assisted Fertilization: In Vitro
- Hormones used to stimulate follicle maturation and endometrial build up
- Mature Ovum are collect via need
- Sperm and egg mixed to induce fertilization and creation of embryo
- Embryo inserted into cervix
Ultrasound
Uses inaudiable high frequency sound waves to produce an image of fetus
Amniocentesis
Uses ultrasound to guide needle through abdominal wall into amniotic cavity
Choroionic Villius Sampling
obtains specimen of foetal cells from chorion
Biochemical Analysis
Analyse of blood and urine , amniotic fluid
Foetel Blood Sampling
sample of blood taken from umbilical vein
Dna PRobes
Tests for genetic disorders
