24
Q

A cluster of cells that surrounds an immature egg cell and provides it with nutrients and protection.

A

Follicle

25
Q

When does the follicular phase begin?

A

It begins when the anterior pituitary gland releases the FSH and LH into the bloodstream.

26
Q

The two hormones that cause the follicle to produce estrogen.

A

FSH and LH

27
Q

A sex hormone that aids the growth of the ovarian follicle in the ovary.

A

Estrogen

28
Q

When does ovulation occur?

A

When the follicle bursts.

29
Q

After ovulation, what phase begins?

A

Luteal Phase

30
Q

It causes the cells of the ruptured follicle to grow, forming a corpus luteum.

A

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

31
Q

It is a yellowish mass of follicular cells.

A

Corpus Luteum

32
Q

This hormone causes the corpus luteum to secrete both estrogen and progesterone.

A

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

33
Q

A sex hormone that signals the body to prepare for fertilization.

A

Progesterone

34
Q

This female reproductive cycle involves the uterus, grooms the uterus for possible implantation and later on pregnancy.

A

Menstrual Cycle

35
Q

How long does a normal menstrual cycle last?

A

28 days

36
Q

The events in the menstrual cycle are controlled by?

A

estrogen and progesterone

37
Q

What will happen if pregnancy does not occur?

A

The levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease, causing the lining of the uterus to be shed.

When this happens, the blood vessels break and bleeding occurs.

38
Q

Stages of Human Development (Before Birth)

A
  1. Fertilization of the Ovum
  2. Embryonic Development
  3. Fetal Development
  4. Birth
39
Q

Fertilization: Generalized Acrosomal Process

A
  1. Sperm makes contact with egg
  2. Acrosome reacts with zona pellucida
  3. Acrosome reacts with perivitelline space
  4. Plasma membranes of sperm and egg fuss
  5. Sperm nucleus enters egg
  6. Cortical granules fuse with egg plasma membrane, which renders the vitelline layer impenetrable to sperm
40
Q

Nine month period.

A

Pregnancy

41
Q

Starting from implantation of the zygote up to the first two months of pregnancy, the developing child is termed _.

A

Embryo

42
Q

It forms and connects the placenta to the embryo.

A

Umbilical cord

43
Q

It is a temporary organ that forms in the uterus during pregnancy. It attaches to the uterus wall and provides nutrients and oxygen.

A

Placenta

44
Q

During the 3rd week of pregnancy, this thin membrane begins to form around the embryo,

A

Amniotic sac

45
Q

A clear liquid which help cushion and protect the embryo.

A

Amniotic fluid

46
Q

During the 3rd month of pregnancy (1st to 12 weeks).

A

Fetal Development

47
Q

The developing embryo begins to look more human (eyes, fingers, toes, arms, and legs developed) is now called a _.

A

fetus

48
Q
  • Fetal heart can be heard beating

  • hair forms on body and head
  • facial features are obvious
  • baby’s lungs develop
  • baby responds to your voice
  • baby’s skin is wrinkled
  • baby’s hair becomes visible
  • fingerprints and footprints form
A

2nd Trimester (Fetal Development)

50
Q

In this trimester, baby will open his/her eyes, gain more weight and prepare for delivery.

  • baby kicks and stretches
  • baby’s hair grows
  • baby practices breathing
  • baby detects light
  • baby’s fingernails grow
  • baby’s skin is smooth
  • baby’s toenails grow
  • baby might turn head down
  • baby’s chest is prominent
A

3rd/Last Trimester

51
Q

At what week is a pregnant woman’s expected due date?

A

38 weeks or .40 weeks.

52
Q

The expected date of delivery or expected due date/estimated due date.

A

EDD

53
Q

In the 9th month, the fetus has usually rotated to a head-down position inside the uterus.

A

Birth

54
Q

It begins with the onset of labor.

A

Birth process

55
Q

Muscular contraction of the uterus.

A

Labor

56
Q

The fetus exits through the vagina during a normal delivery.

A

Childbirth

57
Q

Different stages in Birth.

A

Stage 1: Dilation
Stage 2: Birth
- 1.) Preservation of head
- 2.) Rotation and delivery of anterior shoulder
- 3.) Delivery of posterior shoulder
- 4.) Delivery of lower body and umbilical cord
Stage 3: Afterbirth delivery

58
Q

Journey of an Egg

A

Step 1: Egg leaves ovary and enters the fallopian tube
Step 2: Sperm enters egg and unites with nucleus
Step 3: Fertilized egg divides
Step 4: Cells attach to uterus
