40

41
Umbilical arteries
Artery found in the abdominal and pelvic regions in the fetus, it extends into the umbilical cord to the placenta.
42
Umbilical vein
o Carries Oxygen and nutrient rich blood from placenta to the fetus.
43
Ductus veinosus
o Shunt that bypasses the liver, because it is not yet developed.
44
Foramen ovale
o A shunt in the heart of the fetus that allows blood to enter the left atrium from the right atruim
45
Ductus arteriosus
o A duct in a fetus heart that connects the pulmonary artery to the proximal descending aorta. It allows most of the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the lungs.
46
Fetal alcohol syndrome
``` o Includeing facila o Heart o Skeletal defects o Behavioral problems o Learning disabilities ```
47
Lactation
o Milk production
48
Relaxin
o Hormone produced by the ovary and placenta at the end of the gestation. Softens the pelvic bone to widen and cervix allowing it to expand to let the baby through.
49
Episiotomy
ncision that will enlarge the vaginal orifice to prevent a lager baby from tearing the vagina during child birth.
50
Breech birth
o Baby comes out butt first
51
Cesarean section
o Incision at pubic hair line
52
Epidural anesthesia
o Anesthetic agent that temporarily deadens the sensory nerves in the vagina. It is injected in the bony canal that houses the spinal cord
53
Suckling reflex
o Will be able to suckle the breast or anything put in its mouth
54
Rooting reflex
o Baby will latch to breast and suck | o Also helps them find the nipple
55
Implantation
o Is the process of the blastocyst attaching to the uterine lining and digesting its way into the endometrium. It begins 6 to 7 days after fertilization.
56
Placenta formation
o Invasion of the maternal tissue by the outer layer of the trophoblast o Cavities form o Inner layer of the trophoblast and blood vessels invade, forming placental villi o Fully formed placenta showing rich vascular supply
57
Placenta
o Organ that supplies nutrients to and removes waste from the growing embryo.
58

62
oxytocin
o A hormone that is produced by protuatary that causes contractions
63
Vagina
Thin-walled but strong muscular chamber that serves as a birth canal through which the baby is expelled. It is also accommodates the penis and acts as a repository for sperm during copulation.
64
Urethra
A tube that connects to the urinary bladder to the Genitals for the removal of fluid from the body A. In males it travels through the penis and carries semen as well as urine. B. Is shorter in females and emerges above the vagina opening. Only used for urination.
65
Labia Minors

66
Labia Majora
There is thick fatty ridges protect the entire genital region of a female
67
Hyman
A thin membrane that ruptures after sexual intercourse. Has no known purpose.
68
Bartholin Gland
Is found near the vagina opening and secretes lubrication fluid during sexual arousal helping the sperm move through it.
69
Clitoris
Sole function of the clitoris is for sexual arousal it consist of a short shaft surrounding rounded glands covered by small hood of skin called prepuse.
70
Epididymis
Coiled tube that sperm passes from the testicles. The tube connecting the efferent ducts from the rear each testicle to its vas deferens. Store sperm 2 to 3 months while it develops because at the time it enters the sperm is not able to swim forward.
71
Seminole Vesicle
A pair of simple tubular glands near the rear of the bladder. Secretes a thick clear fluid that protects and nourishes the sperm
72
Prostate gland
Is a gland near the rear bottom of the bladder it will secrete a milky alkaline fluid that balances the acidity of any traces of urine in the urethra and helps protect the sperm form the natural acidity of the vagina.
73
Semen
Is made up of sperm and the secretions of the seminal gland prostate gland and bulbourethral glands
74
Hypothalamus
Part of brain that secretes a releasing hormone that regulates FSH and luteinizing hormone by the Anterior Pituitary. FSH promotes sperm production by testes. LH promotes secretion of testosterone.
75
Overies
1. An inch long 2. Bumpy Surface A. Follicles 3. Also produces egg cells and hormones
76
Follicles
A. each cell surrounded by one or more layers of follicles cells that nourish and protect the developing egg cell B. Produces female hormone "estrogen"
77
Ovulation
The process of the egg cells being ejected from the follicles
78
Corpus Luteum
A. The remaining follicular tissue that released the egg will grow within the ovary to form a solid mass which secretes progesterone in the hormone that helps maintain the uterine lining during pregnancy and additional estrogen B. If the egg is not fertilized the corpus lute degenerates and a new follicle matures during the next cycle
79
Overduct
Fallopian tube and it is also where fertilization usually occurs in the upper third of the oviduct
80
Uterus
A. Is known as the womb is the actual site of pregnancy | B. 3 inches long but yet can grow to accommodate an 8.8 pound baby
81
Endometrium
A thick muscular wall that lines the uterus is richly supplied with blood vesicles. The embryo implants itself here and will develop completely.
82
Embryo
The stage in development from the first division of zygote until body structures begin to appear about the ninth week and humans
83
Fetus
Developing human baby after ninth week until birth
84
Ectopic pregnancy
An out of place pregnancy usually in the oviduct called a tubule pregnancy this will need to be removed surgically otherwise it can cause rupture in surrounding tissues causing severe bleeding and even death.
85
Cervix
The narrow neck of the uterus which opens into the vagina. Doctors will check the cervix for dilation before childbirth to see if the cervix has expanded large enough for the baby to move through
