Pregnancy Test Flashcards
identify:
A.Sac that contains the ovum.
B.Differentiate corpus hemorrhageum from corpus luteum.
A. Graafian follicle
B. Once the ovum is extruded, what is left is a clot of blood called corpus hemorrhageum. Corpus hemorrhageum is then replaced by yellow
viscous fluid, the luteal cells, and gradually this will be
called the corpus luteum.
A. Ectopic Pregnancy - what is its most common cause?
B. enum 3 layers of uterus
A. implantation in the fallopian tube
B. Peritoneal Ligament, Myometrium & Endometrium
A. Organ source of gonadotropin-releasing hormone
B. Releases luteinizing hormone & follicle-stimulating hormone, c/o GnRH
A. hypothalamus
B. anterior pituitary gland
identify
A.hormone released after FSH reaches target. takes c/o female secondary sexual char
B.hormone released after LH reaches target. takes c/o final preparation of the uterus for pregnancy and breast for lactation.
A.estrogen
B.progesterone
A.During the growth of follicles, what hormone is secreted?
B.When does the new follicle ovulate @ menstrual cycle?
A)estorgen
B)14th day
A.After ovulation of follicle, its secretory cells become ____
B.If ovum is not fertilized, what happens to A?
A)corpus luteum
B)the corpus luteum degenerates whereupon the ovarian hormones estrogen and progesterone decreases greatly and menstruation begins
Enumerate 2 main functions of human choriogonadotropin (HCG)
1) To prevent normal involution of the corpus luteum at the end of the female sexual cycle
2) Causes the corpus luteum to secrete large amounts of sexual hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.
false about human choriogonadotropin
A.Coincidentally with the development of the trophocyte cells of an early fertilized ovum
B. The secretion of this hormone can first be measured shortly after the blastocyst implants in the endometrium.
C. Then the rate of secretion rises rapidly to reach a maximum about 10-12 weeks after ovulation and decreases to a much lower value by 16-20 weeks after ovulation.
A. why? because trophoblast dapat. the hormone HCG is secreted by syncytial trophoblast cells into the fluids of the mother
All are reasons for studying HCG except
A. Confirm diagnosis of normal early pregnancy
B. Know response of individual to surgical or hormonal intervention
C. Evaluation of abnormal pregnancy
D. Fertility test
E. Studies of trophoblastic diseases & tumors
D
False about specimen collection for HCG study:
A.Midstream urine is most acceptable
B.Suprapubic puncture is less acceptable than midstream
C.NOTA
B - suprapubic puncture is better because sample is sterile. but it involves bladder puncture, so it is harder to collect.
False about pregnancy test
A. no fasting for water, only for food
B. sample usually collected in the morning
C. sample must be without preservative
D. no medications must be taken before collection
A. bawal tubig fr 8PM until morning
A.Which hormone relaxes the various pelvic ligaments for easier passage of the fetus through the birth canal?
B.Which joints does A act on?
A) estrogen
B) so that the sacroiliac joints become limber and the symphysis pubis becomes elastic for
not a function of progesterone
A. causes decidual cells to develop in the uterine endometrium
B. increasing contractility of the pregnant uterus
C. Helps estrogen prepare the mother’s breast for lactation
B - decrease dapat
Which is false about HCG?
A. Peak levels in the latter part of the first trimester of pregnancy
B. Not stored but distributed in circulation
C. Generally lower in the mother than in the fetus
C - higher dapat
enumerate 4 general ways to measure HCG
- Bioassay
- Immunoassay
- Radioimmunoassay
- Immunometric assay
