Q

Oligohydramnios

A

17
Q

Formation of amniotic fluid

A

Phase I:

  • first 20 weeks of pregnancy
  • free diffusion of electrolytes through fetal ectoderm
  • secretion by amniotic membrane

Phase II:

  • contributions from fetal urine
  • filtration from vessels associated with chorion laevae
  • possible other sources
18
Q

Yolk sac ___ in size and exists ___ the amniotic cavity. Eventually degrading.

A

Decreases

Outside

19
Q

Yolk Sac Functions

A

May Concentrate:

  • folic acid
  • vitamins A, B, E

Site of origin of primordial germ cells

Location of blood islands (origin of initial blood cells)

Meckel’s diverticulum?

20
Q

Extraembryonic hematopoiesis

A

Formation of blood cells outside of embryo

Related to blood islands of yolk sac

21
Q

Meckel’s diverticulum

A

Blind sac/pouch

Leftover/rudimentary yolk

22
Q

Allantois

A

Umbilical vessels develop in mesoderm of allantois

Proximal part=urachus

  • associated with urinary bladder
  • becomes median umbilical ligament
23
Q

Placental Development

A
Previllous embryo
Primary Villous Stage
Secondary V Stage
Tertiary V Stage
Final Development
24
Q

Previllous Embryo

A

No villi have formed on trophoblast

25
Q

Primary Villous Stage

A

Solid, cytotrophoblastic, ectodermal primary villi appear

26
Q

Secondary Villous Stage

A

Mesodermal cores appear within the primary villi

27
Q

Tertiary Villous Stage

A

Characterized by the appearance of blood vessels within the mesenchymal core of the secondary villi

28
Q

Final Development

A

Cytotrophoblastic columns

Cytotrophoblastic shells
-formed by expansion of the cytotrophoblastic columns over th maternal decidual cells

Anchoring villi
-villi that are anchored to the cytotrophoblastic shell (as opposed to floating villi)

29
Q

Blood Flow Pathway (Maternal)

A
  • Maternal blood enters inter Villous spaces (trophoblastic lacunae) from spiral arteries
  • exchange of materials (resp gases, nutrients, waste products) between maternal blood in lacunae and fetal blood in capillaries in the villi
  • maternal blood returns to maternal veins in the decidua basalis
30
Q

Blood Flow Pathway (Fetal)

A
  • Fetal Blood is entirely enclosed within vessels
  • travels to capillary beds within placental villi via umbilical arteries (usually 2)
  • returns from cap beds within placental villi via umbilical vein (1)
31
Q

What is the purpose of villi in the placenta of a developing embryo?

A

Greatly increases surface area allowing for greater gas exchange and absorption of the placenta
