Q

What is ovary and how they work? How they develop?

A

Ovary produces oocytes

Ovary produces hormones estrogens and progesterone, inhibin and small amount androgen

Remember that the Ovaries lay eggs one side in a month and other side in another month however if one ovary is absent then other ovary release eggs every months.

Q

What are the steps for ovary to produce eggs?

A

Primary follicles => oocyte+> Secondary follicle+> Mature follicle => burst or ovulated oocytes

Q

How Oocytes changes throughout the human entire life?

A

The human germ cell numbers changes in the overy with age.

Its stay in pick around 7 million in early fetal development period then decreases by apopotic cell death. At puberty they remain 400,000 and only about 10% of these will release through reproductive life.

Q

What does Uterine tube or fallopian tube work ?

A

Harbors the embryo

Provides nutrient

Expels the fetus at the end of its development

Produce vaginal and uterine secretion

Anatomically passes male sperm through to the fallopian tube

Q

What is Endometrium? what does it do?

A

Endometrium is a kind of mucous membrane, relatively protective.

It Becomes thicker gradually when eggs released from the ovary

Endometrium helps to Attach the fertilised eggs which then begins to develop

Note: If it not attached than we are not pregnant then body passes out during menstruation bleed

Q

What is vagina?

A

It is Stratified squamous epithelium (that they can change shape stretch ect without damaging the cells)

It’s very Low ph

Durig sex vagina Expands length and width

Lubricate by Bartholin’s glands near vaginal opening and in the cervix

Q

Brest or Mammary gland?

A

Brest or mammary gland is not reproductive tract but secondary sex characteristics in reproductive age female.

It has alveoli which joins up and creates a group known as lobules each of which has lactiferous duct that drains opening of nipple.

Secretory alveoli only develops in pregnancy and raise level lobules in the presence of prolactin estrogen progesterone and cause further branching with increase in adipose tissue and richer blood flow (ajonno bra size boro lagy)

Q

What hormones control the menstrual cycle?

A

By 5 hormones

1) GnRH: Gonadotropin releasing hormone (secrets from pituitary in hypothalamus)
2) FSH: Follicle stimulating hormone
3) LH: Luteinizing hormone
4) Estrogen
5) Progesterone

Q

Female sexual cycle?

A

In the presence of FSH(presence of estrogen), follicle grow and develop then=> in the presence of LH(presence of progesterone) here Follicles become mature,=> Then Early corpus luteum secret out

20
Q

How you identify the way of Mense or proliferative cycle?

A

By looking her body temperature increase ovulated

LH level test in urine can be done to understand ovulation

1-14 days follicular phase can varies

14 – 28 days luteal phase, it is always constant

21
Q

What is the process of implantation?

A

From ovary unfertilized egg=> 2 cell stage =>4 cell stage=> 8 cell stage=> 16 cell stage=> blastocyst (lot of cell)=> Endometrium(thick layer) then implantation

22
Q

What is the normal Gestation period?

A

Premature 30-32 weeks

37 weeks is 50% born

By 42 weeks 100%

Until before 23 weeks (resuscitate=near death) cant survive

30 weeks holy 99 percent baby beachy thaky but premature hoy

23
Q

What is fertilisation?

A

Union of egg and sperm which usually takes place in fallopian tubes

24
Q

What is Zygote?

A

When it gets fertilised. Conversion of unfertilised to fertilisation in fallopian tube

25
Q

What is Implantation?

A

Attachment of fertilised egg to the uterus usually 3-5 days after fertilisation.

If implantation done then we called pregnent

But hasn’t been attached then not be pregnant

26
Q

When we say zygote converted to embryo?

A

From week 3 to the end of week eight.

27
Q

In which week embryo converted to fetus?

A

From week 9 to onwards its called fetus

28
Q

What is Placenta? Function of placenta?

A

An organ which develops in uterus

Function:

Provide Nourishment and oxygen for growth of baby

Removes waste

It’s also called “afterbirth”

Most substances are passes from mother through placenta to baby.

Umbilical cord connects the baby and placenta

29
Q

What is Amniotic fluid?

A

Watery substance or fluid helps to cushion the baby

They surrounded into the growing fetus

Not too much or less

30
Q

What is amnocentesis?

A

Performed between 15 to 20 weeks to determine risk of child defects and it also help to determine gender of the baby. Usually done to elderly mother like near 40yrs

31
Q

Pregnency hormones?

A

After conception hCG increase in fist 3 months for development of placenta

Estrogen and progesterone increases from 3 months to onward to helps to support the growth of baby

32
Q

What might cause problem during pregnency?

A

If placenta got in near veginal opening, or bigger, it might rupture during labour and leads to haemorrhage.

33
Q

What is first trimester?

A

1st 14th weeks of pregnency

Very important time as vital structures are formed of baby

Cause embryo grows everything that time like brain lungs or eyes etc

Umbilical cord and placenta also form in this time

Miscarriage usually happen in fist trimester but 2nd and 3rd never usually happen.

34
Q

What usually happen in Second trimester of pregnency?

A

Organs starts to grow

Starts growing continue

4 to 6 months

Fetus is about 2 pounds and 14-15 inches long

35
Q

What usually happen in Third trimester of pregnancy?

A

7 to 9 months

Fetus (baby) gains most of its weight and is able to grasp objects and open and close eyes.

Considered most viable or Safest trimester for taking medicine

36
Q

Who is Neonate?

A

Called usually after the period immediately after the birth

37
Q

Caesarean birth? when?

A

Usually done if considered harm to the mother

Surgical incision is made through mother abdomen and uterus to deliver babyes

It has been performed upon request

38
Q

What is oxitosin?what is dose?

A

Labour. Increase oxytocin

During Baby born

39
Q

What is prolactin?

A

Milk let down. Increase prolactin

40
Q

What is the pathway of secretion of oxytocin?

A

Oxytocin secretes when baby is enough old or big in the fetus.

Uterine stretch => hypothalamus=>posterior pituitary=>Oxytocin=> starts uterus contracting

41
Q

What is the pathways of secretion of prolactin?

A

When baby born then Suckles helps PRF=> anterior pituitary=> prolactin=> Mammary flands=> promotes mammary tissue , milk production

42
Q

What then prolactin stops?

A

Dopamine stops then excessive secretion of prolactin

43
Q

What does bromocriptine?

A

It is a Medicine, called bromocriptine which stops Prolactin for mother whose child died

44
Q

What does oxytocin do in pregnancy?

A

Induction of labor(increase contraction during labor)

45
Q

What does prolactin do?

A

It reduces the secretion of LH and FSH

Inhibit Gonadotrophin release and prevent ovulation pathway
