Q

Blastocyst:

— is the outer layer of cells.

— is the inner layer of cells (baby)

A

Trophoblast

Blastocyst

25
Q

Cleavage is Mitosis or Meiosis?

A

Mitosis

26
Q

Which hormones are secreted by the Corpus Luteum?

A

Estrogen and Progesterone

***during first 2-3 mths of pregnancy

27
Q

During first 2-3 months of pregnancy, what produces Estrogen and Progesterone?

A

Corpus Luteum

28
Q

When is the Blastocyst implanted?

A

6-8 days after ovulation

**upper portion of uterus

29
Q

Chorionic Villi are developed from which layer of the Blastocyst?

A

Trophoblast (outer layer)

30
Q

What is the purpose of the Chorionic Villi?

A

extend into endometrium and tap into maternal blood supply for O2 and nutrients

31
Q

After implantation, the endometrium is called the —

A

decidua

32
Q

Where is the decidua basalis?

A

beneath the blastocyst

**decidua basalis is the area of endometrium between the implanted chorionic vesicle and the myometrium, which becomes the maternal part of the placenta.

33
Q

How can progesterone prevent fertilization?

A

changes cervical mucus and endometrium

*** IUDs are sometimes medicated w/ progesterone to prevent fertilization

34
Q

G and D of Baby:

—- is conception to day 14

—- is day 15 to 8 wks

—- is 8 wks to 40 wks

A

Ovum

Embryo

Fetus

35
Q

The — period is when organs are forming and is the time of greatest vulnerability.

A

Embryo (day 15 - 8 wks)

36
Q

Which period encompasses cellular replication (where zygote is formed into blastocyst)?

A

Ovum

37
Q

What are the three primary germ layers of the Blastocyst?

A

Ectoderm

Mesoderm

Endoderm

38
Q

Which germ layer of cell?

trophoblast (outer layer) develops into the placenta, integument, neural tissue and glands

A

Ectoderm

39
Q

Which germ layer of cell?

forms muscles, bones, connective tissue, circulatory system, and genitourinary system

A

Mesoderm

40
Q

Which germ layer of cell?

forms digestive, respiratory, and parts of the gu system

A

Endoderm

41
Q

—- stage is the most critical time in the development of the organ systems and the external features.

A

Embryonic (day 15 - 8 wks)

42
Q

The — assists in lung development.

A

amniotic fluid

43
Q

Normal volume of Amniotic Fluid:

A

800 - 1200 mL

***oligohydramnios = 2000 mL

44
Q

What is oligohydramnios and why can it be a problem?

A

AF

45
Q

What is polydramnios and why can it be a problem?

A

AF > 2000 mL

associated w/ esophageal atresia and w/ severe CNS anomalies

46
Q

— is the baby bouncing when examiner touches head and is a sign that baby is NOT ready to be born yet.

A

Ballottement

47
Q

At 16 weeks gestation, what is a sufficient amount of AF?

A

200-300 mL

***sufficient to perform an amniocentesis

48
Q

Why would the perform an amniocentesis?

A

too much AF slows down CNS development so they try to pull fluid off

49
Q

Amniotic Fluid is alkaline or acidic?

A

alkaline

50
Q

What is found in Amniotic Fluid that is essential in lung development?

A

Lecithin and Sphingomyelin

*** L/S ratio of 2:1 indicates fetal lung maturity

*** L/S is a major component of surfactant

51
Q

What color are we looking for when using nitrazine paper to test AF?

A

blue

*** acid would turn it red

52
Q

After ROM (Rupture of Membranes) what do we monitor?

A

fetal heart rate

we are looking for any decelerations in fetal HR

53
Q

During maitenance of pregnancy, what produces estrogen and progesterone?

A

Placenta

***provides O2 and removes CO2

***metabolizes drugs/substances

54
Q

Until 3rd month of pregnacy, the — is main source of estrogen and progesterone

After 3rd mth, the — is main source of estrogen and progesterone.
