role of human placental lactogen during pregnacy-produced, similar to, metabolism effects (3)
secreted from syncytiotrophoblast
-similar to prolactin and growth hormone
increases insulin resistance (more glucose for baby), stimulate proteolysis and lipolysis (mother uses this as fuel=more glucose for baby), and inhibits gluconeogensis (more glucose for baby).
what pregnany hormones can cause maternal insulin resistance?
human placental lactogen (hPL), placental growth hormone, estrogens, progesterone, and glucocorticoids
nutrients not found in breast milk
vitamin D-give supplements
and vit K-injection at birth to prevent hemorrhagic diseaese
primary oocytes are in which stage before ovulation? after ovulation?
before- prophase of meiosis I
after- metaphase of meiosis II
which hormone stimulates the production of androgens? which cells respond to this?
LH, theca interna cells of ovarian follicle
LH, Leydig cells secrete testosterone regardless of temperature
androgens are converted to estradiol where? name enzyme? which hormone controls this?
granulosa cells with the enzyme aromatase FSH
theca externa cells
serve as connective tissue support structure for follicle
which hormones prevent lactogenesis during pregnancy? (2) what do they promote?
estrogen progesterone. inhibit role of prolactin and after birth their levels decrease and prolactin can have it’s effect.
breast growth
role of hCG in pregancy- levels fall when?
maintain corpus luteum until placenta can make estrogen and progesterone. levels fall by mid-pregnancy
role of LH during pregnancy
none- levels are low due to feedback inhibtion of anterior pituitary gland
pts with fetal mutations remember taking acetominaphen during preg and pt with baby w/o mutations do not remember taking actominaphen=this type of bias
recall bias
difference between primary amenorrhea causes by imperforate hymen, hyperprolactinemia, Kallmann syndrome, Turner syndrome, pregnancy
- fully developed secondary characteristics, cyclic abdominal pain, hematocolpos (vagina filled with menstrual blood-mass palpated anterior to rectum)
- an also present with oligomenorrhea in addition to abnormal hormone levels (i.e galactorrhea, hypoestrogenemia)
- absent secondary characteristics, an olfactory sensory defect
- short stature, webbed neck, shielded chest, fibrotic ovaries absent sexual characteristics
- increased hCG levels
does endometriosis cause amenorrhea?
no is causes dysmenorrhea, and dsyspareunia
nevi vs accessory nipples vs keloids
- both raised and hyperpigmented
- nevi and keloids do not influenced by menstrual cycle changes
- keloids are a result of trauma to skin.
define anti-Rh (D) immunoglobin (RhoGAM)-consist of, used for. given when (2)?
consists of IgG anti-Rh(D) antibodies. give to Rh-negative mothers at 28 wks and immediately postpartum. blocks maternal immune response to fetal Rh (D) antigens
epithelium in ovary, fallopian tube, uterus, cervix, vagina
- simple cuboidal
- simple columnar
- simple (pseudostratified) columnar
- simple columnar (endocervix); stratified squamous (ectocervix)
- stratified squamous (non-keratinized)
name organ associated with these epithelial features
-aka germinal epithelium, transitions to peritoneum at broad ligament of uterus
ovary
name organ associated with ciliated cells help transport egg/embryo; peg cells (secrete nutrients)
fallopian tube
name organ associated with tubular glands, a functional and basal layer, cyclic changes
uterus
name organ associated with cervical glands, cyclic changes allowing for less viscous mucus at time of ovulation
cervix
name organ associated with presence of glycogen
vagina
name associated epithelial tumors of
ovary, fallopian tube uterus, cervix, vagina
- serous,mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell, brenner (urothelial)
- rare
- endometrial CA
- condyloma acuminatun, squamous cell CA, adenocarcinoma
- squamous cell CA
when is beta-hCG production occur? detectable in maternal serum?
- after blastocyst successfully implants, usually 6 days after ovulation.
- 8-11 days
