Q

fertilization is never a certain occurrence because it depends on at least three separate factors, what are these factors?

A

-Equal maturation of both sperm and ovum

-Ability of the sperm to reach the ovum

-Ability of the sperm to penetrate the zona pellucida and cell membrane and achieve fertilization

23
Q

group of physiological & behavioral manifestation experienced by the husband, often the result of stress anxiety & empathy for the pregnant women

A

Couvade Syndrome

24
Q

A hormone secreted by the trophoblast cells which allows the corpus luteum to continue its function after fertilization

A

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)

25
Q

fingerlike projections that reach out from the trophoblast cells into the uterine endometrium to begin formation of the placenta.

A

Chorionic Villi

26
Q

These are the terms used when the blastocyst brushes against uterine endometrium, then attaches to indumentum, and finally settles down into soft folds of endometrium respectively.

A

Apposition, Adhesion, Invasion

27
Q

the process wherein the zygote burrows into the endometrium of the uterus

A

Implantation

28
Q

explain how implantation works.

A

-From zygote [takes 8-10 days after fertilization]
-Zygote migrates at 3-4 days to the body of the uterus
-Mitotic Cell Division Takes Place, from
[Cleavage]–[Blastomere]–[Morula]–[Blastocyst]–[Apposition]–[Adhesion]–[Invasion]

29
Q

How does the placenta come into existence?

A

It arises out of the trophoblast tissue (fusion of chorionic villi and decidua basalis

30
Q

is a connection between the umbilical vein & ascending vena cava, bypassing the fetal liver.

A

Ductus Venosus

31
Q

a connection between the pulmonary trunk & aorta, bypassing the fetal lungs.

A

Ductus Arteriosus

32
Q

is an opening between the right & left atria during fetal life, also bypassing the fetal lungs.

A

Foramen Ovale

33
Q

Hormone that maintains the endometrial lining for its growth reduce the contractility of the uterus during pregnancy, thus preventing premature labor.

A

Progesterone

34
Q

Hormone with both growth-promoting & w/ lactogenic properties (milk producing)
regulates maternal glucose, protein and fat levels to ensure adequate amount of these are always available to the fetus.

A

Estrogen

35
Q

What are the two parts of the amniotic membranes?

A

Chorion - outer part
Amnion - inner part

36
Q

dual-walled sac with the chorion as the outmost part and the amnion as the innermost part

A

The amniotic fluid

37
Q

formed from the fetal membranes, the amnion and chorion

A

The umbilical cord

38
Q

what is the normal length of the umbilical cord?

A

53 centimeters

39
Q

what does the umbilical cord contain(s)?

A

Arteries and Veins
Wharton’s Jelly
Amniotic Membrane
Rate of blood flow
Nerve supply

40
Q

insulate & protect umbilical cord in the womb

A

Wharton;s jelly
