What is the decidua reaction ?

Answer 7

with increasing levels of progesterone, the connective tissue cells of the decidua become enlarged and pale staining and help protect the uterus against complete invasion of the synctiotrophoblast

Answer 14

syncytiotrophoblast, cytotrophoblast, embryoonic ct, and endothelium of fetal vessels

Question 15

what does the fetal part of the placenta do ?

the intervilous space is drained by what veins

Answer 22

endometrial veins

Question 23

amniochorionic membrane

Answer 23

fusion of amniotic and chorionic sac (ruptures during labor) and membrane fuses with decidua capsularis and then adheres to decidua parietalis obliterating the uterine lumen

Answer 24

syncytiotrophoblast, cytotrophoblast, embryonic connective tissue, and endothelium of the fetal vessels

placenta percreta

Answer 29

penetrates the full thickness of the myometrium and fails to seperate from the uterine wall

Question 30

erythroblastosis fetalis

Answer 30

Rh incompatability between mother and fetus
mom has been exposed to fetal blood, makes antibodies IgG against fetal antigen and can cross the placenta, if there is a future pregnancy with Rh incompatability, antibodies can cross and attack fetal RBC’s causing anemia and edema

Answer 31

chorion
