correct answers
zygotic stage - ANSWERS✔✔fertilization of sperm and egg through the second week
Blastocyst stage - ANSWERS✔✔zygote divides into a solid ball of cells which attaches to the uterus
Embryonic stage - ANSWERS✔✔major organs and structures begin to emerge by end of the second
week through the eighth week
fetal stage - ANSWERS✔✔differentiation and structures specialize by end of the eighth week until
birth
fertilization - ANSWERS✔✔fusing of ovum and sperm, which is the starting point of pregnancy
in the outer third of the ampulla of the fallopian tube - ANSWERS✔✔where does fertilization take
place?
what does the inner surface of the blastocyst become? - ANSWERS✔✔the embryo and amnion
what does the outer layer of the blastocyst become? - ANSWERS✔✔trophoblast
this develops into one of the embryonic membranes, the chorion, and helps to form the placenta
where is the best place for implantation? - ANSWERS✔✔the fundus or upper part of the uterus
there is a rich blood supply in this area
implantation - ANSWERS✔✔complex interaction between the trophoblasts and the maternal
decidua. Medically a pregnancy has not happened if implantation has not happened
,ectoderm - ANSWERS✔✔forms the central nervous system, special senses, skin and glands
mesoderm - ANSWERS✔✔forms the skeletal, urinary, circulatory, and reproductive organs
Endoderm - ANSWERS✔✔forms the respiratory system, liver, pancreas, and digestive system
amniotic fluid sources - ANSWERS✔✔fluid transported from the maternal blood across the amnion
and fetal urine
amniotic fluid function - ANSWERS✔✔- maintain constant body temperature
- permit symmetric growth and development
- cushion the fetus from trauma
- keeps the umbilical cord free of compression
- promotes fetal movement to enhance musculoskeletal development
Oligohydramnios - ANSWERS✔✔too little amniotic fluid (<500 mL at term)
cause of Oligohydramnios - ANSWERS✔✔uteroplacental insufficiency
fetal renal abnormalities
higher risk of surgical birth and low-birth-weight infants
Hydramnios - ANSWERS✔✔too much amniotic fluid (>2,000 mL at term)
may threaten premature rupture of membranes due to uterine over-distention
Hydramnios is associated with - ANSWERS✔✔maternal diabetes
neural tube defects
chromosomal deviations
malformations of the central nervous system and/or GI tract
,Chorionic gonadotropin (CG) - ANSWERS✔✔preserves the corpus luteum and its progesterone
production so that the endometrial lining of the uterus is maintained; this is the basis for pregnancy
tests
Prolactin - ANSWERS✔✔mediates maternal metabolic adaptations to pregnancy by regulating
