Lecture 1 Flashcards
pre-embryonic stage
secondary oocyte–> sperm cells–> fertilization–> second polar body –> zygote–> cleavage from 2 celled to 8 celled (this is at hour 30) –> morula (hour 72) –> blastocyst –> implanted blastocyst (day 6)
zygote
the moment the ovum is fertilized and has chromosomes from the mother and father
After zygote stage
cell division then mitosis and during this it is travelling down fallopian tube to uterus
* hour 72 is morula
between day 6 and 10
cells of pre-embryonic stage
blastocyst implants to uterus
placental cells
outer cells of blastocyst called trophoblast
embryo cells
inner cells of blastocyst
function of progesterone in pre-embryonic stage
allows for strong blastocyst implantation and more vascular endometrial lining
embryonic stage
10-12 days after fertilization until 8 weeks
- organogenesis occurs (formation of organs)
First system created in embryo stage
cardiovascular
embryonic period
organ development, abortion is common at this point, highly susceptible to teratogens
fetal stage
11 weeks gestation to birth
- officially a fetus
week 3 organ
heart and CNS
week 4-5 organ
eyes, arms, legs
week 6 organ
teeth and ears
week 7 organ
palate
week 8-9 organ
external genitals
week 9-16 organ
brain
placental development
occurs when
occurs with first contact of outer shell of developing blastocyst with the uterine mucosa
3 functions of placenta
circulation, protection, hormone production
Hcg
production location and what it is
produced by placenta; value looked at in pregnancy test
estrogen
purpose for pregnancy
allows for growth of uterus and growth and development of mammary glands for breastfeeding
fetal circulation
pathway
placenta accepts deoxygenated blood via umbilical arteries then blood flowing through placenta picks up oxygen and is brought to fetus via umbilical vein then to the liver then to right side of heart
patent foramen ovale
hole between right and left atrium that allows oxygen rich blood to go from right to left atrium –> ventricle –> then aorta
ductus arteriosus
sends oxygen poor blood to organs in lower half of fetal body
prenatal care during first trimester
1-2 visits
- bloodwork, assessment, dating ultrasound
prenatal care during second trimester
3-4 visits
- ongoing assessments, fetal assessment, anatomy ultrasound at week 18/20, GDM
prenatal care during third trimester
3-5 vitis
- maternal and fetal assessments, GBS swab at 35 weeks
