OB Flashcards
Where is the site of implantation in the female reproductive system
endometrium
Where is the site of fertilization in the female reproductive system
ampulla
What hormones does the ovaries make
Progesterone
Estrogen
Hormone of pregnancy
Progesterone
Onset of manarche
9-17 yrs old (aver of 11-13 yrs old)
Interval of menses
23-35 days (aver of 28 days)
Duration of bleeding in menses
2-9 days
Normal amount of blood in menses
30-80ml (1/3 cup)
Odor of menses
marigold
Phases of Menstrual Cycle
1st Phase: Follicular, Proliperative Stage
2nd Phase: Luteal, Progestational Stage
3rd Phase: Ischemic Stage
4th Phase: Menstrual Bleeding
What hormones are released by the anterior pituitary gland during the physiology of menses
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Lutenizing Hormone (LH)
What does FSH do in the physiology of menses
Increase estrogen -> thicken endometrium
Increase Follicular Fluid -> rupture Graafian Follicle -> OVULATION (stop release of FSH)
What does LH do in the physiology of menses
Formation of corpus luteum -> progesterone -> maintain the thickness of the endometrium (for implantation of fertilized egg)
What would happen if there is no fertilization of the egg
ovum will atrophy and corpus luteum will remain in 10 days
What would happen if there is fertilization of the egg
Pregnancy where the corpus luteum will remain for 16 wks where later on the placenta will take over the production of estrogen and progesterone
When is the fertile period
3-4 days before and after period
When is the ovulation stage
Interval of Menses - 14
S/Sx of of Ovulation
Increased body temperature (increase of 0.07-0.08 degrees C for 3 full days)
Mittelschmerz
(+) Spinbarkeit
(+) Ferning
Clear, Elastic, Thin, Slippery, and Egg White Colored Cervical Mucus
Mittelsch\merz Sign
Unilateral lower abdominal discomfort (one sided)
Spinbarkeit Sign
elasticity of cervical mucus
Ferning Sign
Palm leaf pattern under the microscope
Stages of Fetal Development
Ovum: fertilization (24hrs after sex)
Zygote: Implementation (after 1 wk)
Embryo: Organogenesis (5th-8th week of pregnancy)
Fetus: 8th week to TERM
Lecithin Sphingomyelin Ratio
Lung surfactant that matures at 36th week of gestation
2:1 for fetal lung maturity
Placenta
serves as the fetal lungs, kidneys and GIT
True or False: There is direct sharing of blood flow between mother and fetus
False
Hormones released by placenta
Estrogen
Progesterone
Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG)
