Mid cycle pain
Mittelschmerz caused by Corpus hemorrhagicum
Luteal cells of the corpus luteum
Theca cells and Granulosa cells
After ovulation we get 9 to 11 days of corpus luteum releasing progesterone to maintain anticipated pregnancy until
It notes the absence of pregnancy
earliest histological sign of progesterone action
BASAL VACUOLATION
Menstrual cycle phase with LOW progesteron SLOWLY RISING estrogen levels
early follicular phase
Menstrual cycle phase with LOW progesteron RAPIDLY RISING estrogen levels
Late follicular phase
Elevated level of progesterone
Luteal phase and pregnancy
PREOVULATORY PHASE of ovarian cycle
follicular
PREOVULATORY PHASE of endometrial cycle
proliferative
PREOVULATORY PHASE length
variable 7 to 21 days
PREOVULATORY PHASE beginning and end
day 1 to ovulation
PREOVULATORY PHASE basal body temp
low basal
PREOVULATORY PHASE dominant hormone and source
estrogen from Follicular granulosa cells
PREOVULATORY PHASE histology
straight tubular glands
PREOVULATORY PHASE cervical mucus
thin and watery
PREOVULATORY PHASE function
replacement of the endometrial cells lost during menses
POSTOVULATORY PHASE of ovarian cycle
Luteal phase
POSTOVULATORY PHASE of endometrial cycle
Secretory
POSTOVULATORY PHASE length
constant 14 days
POSTOVULATORY PHASE beginning and end
day of ovulation til start of menses
POSTOVULATORY PHASE basal body temp
elevated over baseline
POSTOVULATORY PHASE dominant hormone and source
progesterone from Corpus luteum
POSTOVULATORY PHASE histology
tortuosus glands with secretions
POSTOVULATORY PHASE cervical mucus
thick and sticky
POSTOVULATORY PHASE function
prepares the uterus for implantation
what happens to the endometrium when you get pregnant
secretory endometrium turn into the DECIDUA the endometrium of pregnancy
Layers of decidua
- decidua basalis 2 decidua capsularis 3 decidua parietalis
decidua that is part of the placenta invaded by trophoblasts with spiral arteries that are non responsive to vasoactive agents
Decidua basalis
decidua layer with spiral arteries and called the DECIDUA VERA lining the uterus
decidua parietalis
what enters uterine cavity blastocyst or morula
Morula on day 3 post conception AND this becomes the blastocyst
Blastocyst inner cell mass becomes
embryoblast
Blastocyst outer cell mass becomes
trophoblast with outer layer SYNCITIOTROPHOBLAST producing HCG and CYTOTROPHOBLAST
Implantation occurs on day ____ at _______________
day 7 at the posterior superior wall of uterus in the functional layer during the secretory phase
Embryoblast divides into ___ and ___ at week 2 post conception
EPIBLAST which will form the amniotic cavity and the HYPOBLAST which will form the yolk sac
Process establishing the 3 primary germ layers
gastrulation 1 ectoderm 2 endoderm 3 mesoderm
Ectoderm derivatives or outer layer
1 CNS neuroectoderm 2 PNS neural crest 3 SPECIAL SENSES hearing seeing 4 INTEGUMENT layer
Endoderm or internal layer
lining of Respiratory tract and Gastrointestinal tract
Mesoderm or middle layer 5
1 Muscles 2 Cartilages 3 CVS 4 Urogenital system 5 RBC
FDA category drug. Contraindicated in pregnancy. Fetal risk which outweighs any possible benefits
FDA CATEGORY X
FDA CATEGORY. No evidence of risk in humans. Controlled studies shows no risk to humans despite adverse findings in animals.
FDA CATEGORY B
FDA CATEGORY. Positive evidence of risk. Studies demonstrate risk but potential benefits may outweigh the risk.
FDA CATEGORY D
FDA CATEGORY. Controlled studies show no risk. Adequate studies show no risk to fetus in pregnancy.
FDA CATEGORY A
FDA CATEGORY. Risk cannot be ruled out. Control studies are lacking in humans and animals.
FDA CATEGORY C
Only part of fetus exposed to mothers blood
Syncitiotrophoblast
Abortion
20 weeks or less AOG with UTZ regardless of weight
What is the ovulation age of a fetus that is 8 weeks AOG
