Q

Dominant vs. Recessive Alleles:

2 copies needed
25% chance

only one copy needed
50% chance

A

Dominant vs. Recessive Alleles:
* Dominant: In autosomal dominant inheritance, only one copy of the altered gene (dominant allele) is needed from a parent to cause the trait or condition to appear in the offspring. 50%
* Recessive: In autosomal recessive inheritance, two copies of the altered gene (recessive allele) are needed, one from each parent, for the trait or condition to manifest. A normal gene (dominant allele) will mask the effect of the recessive allele. 25%

  • 25% chance of having the recessive disorder
  • 50% chance of being a healthy carrier
  • 25% chance of being healthy and not a carrier
  • Example – Cystic fibrosis
  • BOTH PARENT MUST BE CARRIERS – if one parent is carrier and other parent is not a carrier/doesn’t have CF = there is a 0% chance the child will have CF bc it needs the gene from both parents

Q

Uterine size - Fundal height AKA McDonald’s method
for EDB

A
  • It measures the distance from the top of the mother’s pubic symphysis (the bony junction in the front of the pelvis) to the top of her uterus.
  • The rule states that the fundal height should be roughly equal to the number of weeks pregnant, with a plus or minus 2 cm allowance for some variation.
  • Can only use this method 20 weeks or later
  • If there is more than a 2cm difference = investigate!

96
Q

GU changes

urination frequence i/d
why?
kidneys dilate/constrict
uterus dilate/constrict
GFR i/d
renal plasma flow i/d
residual volume i/d
urine stasis i/d
why is urine stasis a concern?

A
  • pressure on bladder = frequency
  • dilatation of kidneys and ureters
  • increased GFR and renal plasma flow
  • increased residual volume and urine stasis = increased risk for bladder/kidney infection = increased risk for preterm labor
97
Q

98
Q

Menstrual cycle
1.
2.
3.
4.

what days are ovulation

A
  1. menstrual - period bleeding
  2. proliferative - preparing for egg,
    - increased estrogen = endometrial cells enlarge
    - cervical mucus more elastic, thin and clear which is better for sperm
  3. secretory
    - Egg is traveling
    - Progesterone = swelling of epithelium
    - Vascularity of uterus increases in preparation for implantation
  4. ischemic
    - If there is no implantation = estrogen and progesterone levels decrease
    - Corpus luteum degenerates
    - Menstrual phase begins and bleeding occurs

ovulation days 13-15
between proliferative and secretory
