Q

Luteal Phase

A

always 14 days (doesn’t vary)
old graafian follicle persists as corpus luteum. which secretes Estrogen and high progesterone to prep. uterus for implantation and preg.
Ovum fertilized-secretes HcG
not fertilized-estrogen and progesterone go down, endometrial lining falls and menses begins

Q

Endometrial cycle phase

A

Proliferative (cells multiply and form tissue: follicular phase of other)
Secretory (begins with ovulation-lutel phase. endometriu, thickens)
Menstrual phase: at end of luteal phase. vasospasm/ischemia and necrosis if not fertilized.

Q

Placenta functions

A

-metabolic: produces glycogen, cholesterol, fatty acids.
-Transfer functions: Gas exchange by diffusion; nutrient transfer across placenta- glucose, electrolytes pass through placenta to nourish the baby; removal of wastes (urea, uric acid, carbon dioxide, billirubin)
-Transfer of Antibodies.
Want women in 9th week of pregnancy to be vaccinated against Pertussis → so baby will get pertussis antibody
