38 weeks; 40 weeks
Premature refers to babies born before
37 weeks from the onset of the last menstraul period.
35 weeks from fertilization
Babe tween 37 and 40 weeks from the onset of LMP is known as

The development in the embryo is divided into 3 stages. What re they?
Germinal (pre embryonic)
Embryonic
Fetal
The germinal period lasts
2 Weeks
The embryonic period is between weeks
3-8
The organ systems begin to develop During the _______period
Embryonic
Formation of the bilaminar germ disk happens during the
Germinal period
The highest sensitivity of to congenital malformation (physical birth defect) is during which period
Embryonic
The cranial position of a fetus refers to
The head
The dorsal position refers to
The spine
The caudal position refers to the
Tail
The ventral position refers to the
Front
Fertilization usually occurs in the_______of the Fallopian tube
Ampullae region
With each mitotic division of the zygote, each divided cell and gets smaller and smaller and are called
Blastomeres
The membrane which keeps the zygote the same size despite the mitotic divisions is called the
Zoma pellucida
The blastomeres and the zona pellucida are collectively called
The morula
The outer cell mass of the morulais also called the_______and will give rise to the fetal portion of the
Trophoblasts
The inner cell mass of the morula is also called the______since it is where the embryo will form
Embryoblast
Prior to implantation, the trophoblasts (outer mass) differentiates into
Cystotrophoblasts
Syncytiotrophoblasts
The uterine epithelium is invaded by the________which initiates implantation
Syncytiotroblasts
The blastocyst will implant on the_______of the uterus by end of day 6

Ectopic pregnancy happens when when the fertilized egg
Grows outside of the uterus
The most common ectopic pregnancies is when the uterus grows in the
Fallopian tubes
Tubal pregnancies has signs similar to
Normal pregnancy
Tubal pregnancies if left untreated can cause the Fallopian tube to
Rupture
Early ectopic pregnancies can be treated with medication called methotrexate _______which essentially kills the zygote
Late diagnosis of ectopic pregnancies are treated
Surgically
The bilaminar germ disc is formed by
