Phisiology Flashcards
Until ovulation, oocytes are arrested in which phase
Prophase 1
Until fertilization, secondary oocytes are arrested in which phase
Metaphase 2
Follicular cell that produces androgen
Theca cells
Hormone that stimulates secretion of FSH and LH at time of ovulation
High levels of estrogen
When is the blastocyst formed
Day 5 after fertilization
How long after fertilization can beta-hCG be detected in blood
6 days
How long after fertilization can beta-hCG be detected in urine
2 weeks
Day at which cleavage of the zygote takes place to produce dichorionic diamniotic twins
Days 0 to 4
Day at which cleavage of the zygote takes place to produce monochorionic diamniotic twins
Days 4 to 8 (morula stage)
Day at which cleavage of the zygote takes place to produce monochorionic monoamniotic twins
Days 8 to 12 (blastocyst stage)
Conjoined twins develop due to cleavage at which developmental date
Around 2 weeks
Most common chorionicity and amnionicity seen in twins
Monochorionic diamniotic
When can chorionic villi sampling be performed safely
10 to 14 weeks gestation
