gestational age
assessed from fate of conception; avg pregnancy is 38 weeks
hormones made in placenta
estrogen (in ovaries but in pregnancy, placenta)
progesterone (both)
hCG
hCS / hPL (placebtal lactogen)
distinct btw prenatal / perinatal/ neonatal / postnatal
when body water increase fom 7L to 10L, where does the majority go to?
2/3 into intracellular expansion: blood and tissue
1/3 extracellular: space btw cell
what goes on with carb btw early and late pregnanxxy
early: high estro. progesteron < concersion glucose into glycogen ans fat
later: hCS & prolactin decrease it
fat stores in early va late pregnancy?
early: fat accumulate
late: enhanced fat mobilization
a double linign of cells that____ and act as a ____
placenta: divide blood btw fetus and the pregnant; barrier blocking harmful compounds (alcohol, excess cvit, virus)
placenta hmn: estrogen
increase lipid formation / protein synthesis/ uterine blood flow
placenta hmn: progesterone
maintain implanted embryos
stimulate endotremial growth + relax smokth muscle
placenta hmn: hCS
increase insulin resistance in pregamant/ protein synthesis/ fat mobilization
hyperplasia vs hypertrophy
(increase in cell multiplixation ) vs (vell growth)
(brain & CNS develop first) vs (cell accumulate lipid & protein)
zygote vs embro vs fetus
(conception-2wk) 2-8 startinng from 9th
cell dividr and form 2 layer (outermost and innermost ) vs 3 layer (ectoderm mesoderm endoderm)
