Q

How does the number of sperm produced differ from the number of ova?

A

sperm: many millions, ongoing process after puberty
eggs: 2.5 million at birth (already have all you will make at this point), most degenerate, left with about 400 ova in reproductive years

  5. when is meiosis II complete
A
  1. month 3 of embryonic development

Q

What separates?
Are the products identical or different (ignoring recombination)?
What would be the chromosome result be if nondisjunction occurred and a trisomy child was born?
1. Meiosis I
2. Meiosis II

A
  1. homologs; different; all 3 chromosomes are different
  2. sister chromatids; identical; 2 chromosomes match (look at centromeric DNA that is not involved in crossing over), 1 is different

  6. nexplanon
    LARCs work better
74
Q

condoms

A

only contraception that protects against STI
ALWAYS use
user failure: 21%

75
Q

combination OCs

A

estrogen: stabilize endometrium for regular menses
progesterone: neg. feedback prevents pregnancy (AE vary according to progestin)
non-contraceptive benefits: treat cramps, acne, heavy bleeding; prevent PID (but more likely to have cervicitis) and CA (endometrial, ovarian, colon; NO increase in breast CA)
AE: nausea, irregular bleeding, thromboembolic
user failure: 9%

76
Q

depo provera

A

medroxyprogesterone: neg. feedback on FSH,LH
IM every 12 weeks
user failure: 6%
benefits: no menses
AE: weight gain, more likely to contract HIV from partner (thins vagina)
BBW: bone loss: must come off in 3 years

77
Q

skyla

A

like mirena but for 3 years

for nulliparous, younger patients

78
Q

past IUD concerns vs. current

A

PAST: risk of infections, PID with infertility
braided string, left in for decades
CURRENT: slick string so bacteria can’t get up: SAFE, can give to nulliparous women, teens, those with past Hx of STI and PID
still have to culture for GC and chlamydia (don’t take it out, just Tx infection)

79
Q

nexplanon

A

3 years
failure: 0.05%
AE: irregular menses

80
Q

long acting reversible contraception (LARC) benefits

A

IUD, implant
insert and forget it
highly effective few CI
decrease unwanted pregnancy rates in teens and medicaid

81
Q

contraception preference for someone with previous DVT

A

progestin only: mirena or depo

82
Q

CI for estrogen contraceptives like OCs

A
  1. smoking and over 35 years (in younger patient give it to them and tell them to quit smoking)
  2. liver disease
  3. cardiac disease
  4. breast CA
  5. irregular undiagnosed bleeding
83
Q

How does estrogen cause clots?

Highest risks?

A

increase platelets and decreases ATIII

highest risk: PREGNANCY, oral contraceptives

84
Q

tubal ligation

A 
req. hospital and anesthesia 
sterilization
between pregnancies: laparoscopic
during Cesarean
vaginal birth: umbilical incision
failure: 0.5% first year; 1/100 pregnancy if follow out 10 years and include ectopic
85
Q

tubal occlusion (essure)

A

can be done in clinic
scarring causes occlusion
new AE: rash, hair falling out, bleeding

86
Q

Plan B

A

levonorgestral
must be 16 years or older, expensive
within 72 hours of unprotected sex
decrease risk for 8% to 2%

87
Q

male sterilization

A

office visit
ligation of vas deferent
failure: 0.15%
more easily reversed than female sterilization

88
Q

zona pelucida

A

becomes impenetrable after fertilization so no other sperm can get in

89
Q

blastocyst
fate of
1. inner cell mass
2. outer layer of cells

A

morula cavitates

  1. becomes fetus
  2. become trophoblasts
90
Q

implantation of embryo

A

travels thru uterine cavity and hatches
implants: day 8-9
trophoblastic cells invade decidua

91
Q

trophoblast

A

invades decidua

produces hCG

92
Q

decidua

A

promoted by progesterone produced by corpus luteum

glycogen and lipid rich layer of endometrium

93
Q

estimated due date/date of delivery: EDD

A
