Reproductive Flashcards
week heart begins to beat & have upper & lower limb buds
week 4
gene involved in CNS development & assoc with holoprosencephaly
Sonic hedghog
Feature of holoprosencephaly: hypotelorism (eyes close together)
gene for proper organization along dorsal-ventral axis (limb development)
Wnt-7
gene for mitosis of underlying mesoderm = lengthens limbs
FGF
gene implicated if limbs are in wrong locations
Homeobox = Hox
When does hCG secretion begin?
implantation of blastocyst = 1 week
neural tube formed from what? closes when?
neuroectoderm
by week 4
when do external genitalia show male/female characteristics?
week 10
when gastrulation occurs
week 3 = 3 layers
ectoderm + mesoderm + endoderm
embryologic derivative of muscle, bone, CT, serous linings of body cavities, lymphatics, blood, wall of gut (muscle?), vagina, kidneys adrenal cortex, dermis, testes, ovaries, nucleus pulposus of IV disc
mesoderm
embryologic derivative of gut epithelium, urethra, luminal epithelium of lungs, liver, GB, pancreas, eustachian tube, thymus, parathyroid, thyroid follicular cells
endoderm
teratogen effect of aminoglycosides (gentamycin)
CN VIII toxicity (hearing loss)
teratogen that can cause vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma
diethylstilbestrol (DES)
teratogen that discolors teeth
tetracycline
anticonvulsant that inhibits folate absorption therefore can cause neural tube defects
valproate
what medication can be used to avoid blood clots in pregnancy but not cross the placenta
heparin
Do not use warfarin because it can cause fetal abortion, hemorrhage, eye & bone abnormalities
excess of this vitamin can cause spont abortion, cleft palate, cardiac abnormalities
vit A
forms outer layer of chorionic villi and secretes hCG
syncytiotrophoblast
how many umbilical vessels are there? type of blood transported?
2 UAs -> low O2
1 UV -> high O2
think of the baby as the heart of mama to remember circulation
duct between fetal bladder and yolk sac
urachus
If this stays patent: urine discharge from umbilicus
associated with ectopic gastric mucosa & is from partial closure of vitelline duct
Meckel diverticulum
aortic arch derivative that becomes common carotid & proximal internal carotid
3rd aortic arch
3rd arch = 3rd letter of alphabet (“c”)
persistent cervical sinus
branchial cleft cyst within lateral neck
which branchial arch makes no significant developmental contributions?
5th arch
thymic aplasia (deficiency of T cells) hypocalcemia (no parathyoid glands) cardiac defects
DiGeorge syndrome
mutation of germline RET gene resulting in the 3 P’s:
pheochromocytoma
parathyroid tumor
parafollicular cell cancer (medullary cancer of thyroid)
MEN 2A
from failure of fusion of maxillary & medial nasal prominences
cleft lip
from failure of fusion of the lateral palatine processes or fusion of the lateral palatine processes with nasal septum and/or median palatine process
cleft palate
Gene on Y chromosome that produces testis determining factor (TDF)
SRY
develops into internal male structures (SEED): Seminal vesicals, Epididymis, Ejaculatory duct, Ductus Deferens
Wolffian duct (mesonephric duct)
embryologic structures that becomes male external genitalia & prostate
genital tubercle & urogenital sinus
placenta implants in lower uterus and partially or completely covers the internal os -> requires c-section delivery
placenta previa
See a “preview” of the placenta (or can feel it)
What does the placenta normally attach to?
decidua
Absence results in placenta accreta -> can’t deliver the placenta since it’s stuck -> hysterectomy
classic presentation: fibrinoid necrosis of the placental vessels
preeclampsia
