Midterm: wk 2, 3, 4 Flashcards
Probable causes of health disparities (4)
*Race: shorter life expectancy, higher infant/maternal mortality, more birth defects, more STDs
*Environment
*socioeconomic factors
*health behaviors
Family systems theory
Views family as a complex system of interconnected and interdependent individuals
Types of families
Traditional, non-traditional
Traditional and legal family definition
Family mems are related by legal ties or genetic relationships
Non-traditional fam def
2 people who say they are “family” and are bound by emotional ties
Family DEVELOPMENT theory (3 points) (think development stages)
*Family is a developing group which goes through stages
*fam mems must perform certain time specific tasks
*disequilibrium is common when entering a new stage w/goal of hemostasis w/i stages
Family SYSTEMS theory (3 points) (the system IIB)
*Inter-related: a change in one member affects the whole family
*Interaction: “who am I” and “who I have become” depends on fam relations and interactions
*Boundaries: Lines between fam mems and between the fam and the outside world
family STRESS theory (3 points)
*stress is a definite part of fam life
*one fam’s crisis is another fam’s challenge

*Reconsider: reframe issues/view
*Restart: move forward in a positive way
Menstrual cycle: Endometrial development (4 points)
- Menstruation: surface of endometrium sheds resulting in menses
- Proliferative phase (follicular phase): endometrial cells proliferate and lining thickens
- Secretory phase (Luteal phase): egg is expelled from ovary (ovulation) into the pelvic cavity
- Premenstrual phase: Endometrium continues to mature until a sudden drop in hormone levels triggers menstruation (Week b4 period typically)
Ovarian cycle (3 points)
- follicular phase
- ovulation
- luteal phase
Follicular phase: Where, when, hormones
*Hormones: FSH stims graafian follicles (up to 20) which prepares egg for ovulation
*Where: Nerve cells in hypothalamus release GnRH into blood -> this stims the pituitary gland to make/release FSH and LH
*When: From start of period until ovulation
Ovulation: What
*Egg released into pelvic cavity -> fimbriae of fallopian tubes bring egg into tube
Luteal phase: Hormone, Where, Job (Lut the pro, the pre-placenta)
*Hormone: Progesterone
*Where: corpus luteum produces progesterone
*Job: if preg occurs, corpus luteum maintains pregnancy until placenta is mature enough to take over at 12 wks

Sigmund Freud’s Psychosexual development theory
personality developed through a series of childhood stages in which pleasure seeking energies from the child became focused on certain erogenous areas.

Traits
*A gene is a segment of DNA that determines a trait
