Human Anatomy & Physiology: Pregnancy and Human development Flashcards

somite

implantation is usually completed after

the blastocyst is entirely surrounded by endometrium

the chorionic membrane forms by which of the following layers in a
developing embryo?

cytotrophoblast and syncitiotrophoblast
both B and C

which structure represents the remnant of the right to left atrial
fetal shunt

fossa ovalis

which structure below is formed from endodermal tissue

esophagus

which structure below is formed from ectodermal tissues

brain

raised edged dorsal groove on early embryonic disc that establishes
the longitudinal axis of the embryo is

primitive streak

which of the following is not a function of the placenta

urine formation

embryonic period from 2 to ___ weeks

8 weeks

the process which transforms the embryo into a three-layered stage is called

gastrulation

rod of mesodermal cells that serves as axial support is

notocord

abortion

expulsion of fetus before 20 weeks of gestation

hypoblast cells that form a sac on the ventral surface of the embryo called

yolk sac

the function of the ductus arteriosus is to

bypass the pulmonary circuit

following fertilization the zygote goes through a rapid period of
cell division called

cleavage

allantois

Which trimester is for weight gain

3rd trimester

Secondary oocyte completes the first meiotic division

at the time of ovulation

The second polar body forms from the secondary oocyte

after fertilization by sperm cell

the 16 or more cell stage (72 hours old)

morula

the cell layer which looses their plasma membranes and invade the
endometrium is

syncitiotrophoblast

placenta forms from

embryonic trophoblasts and maternal endometrium
both A and B

Teratogenic (leading to structural deformity in newborn) drug such as
thalidomide or phenothiazine mostly affect which stage of pregnancy
and development

1st trimester

implantation is usually completed after

the blastocyst is entirely surrounded by endometrium

the outermost embryonic membrane is the

chorion

the process which transforms the embryo into a three-layered stage is called

gastrulation

How many weeks does the embryonic period last

8 weeks

epiblast cells on the dorsal surface of embryonic disc form a
transparent membrane filled with fluid called

amnion

a small outpocketing at the caudal end of the yolk sac

allantois

organogenesis occurs during

1st trimester

raised edged dorsal groove on early embryonic disc that establishes
the longitudinal axis of the embryo is

primitive streak

by the fourth or fifth day the pre-embryo consists of 100 cells
called ____ stage

blastocyst

implantation is completed by the ___ day after ovulation

5th

allantois provides structural base for the ____

umbilical cord

there are ___ pairs of somites

40

somites have three functional parts

sclerotome, dermatome, myotome

Embryonic development of the digestive system (3rd week)

endoderm has folded and foregut and hindgut have formed
the midgut is open and continuous with the yolk sac
mouth and anal openings are nearly formed

8th week

accessory organs are budding from endoderm

rooting reflex

helps infants find the nipple

suckling reflex

aids in swallowing

morula

the 16 or more cells stage (72 hours old). By the fourth or fifth day
the pre embryo consists of 100 or so cells

ectoderm

forms structures of the nervous system and skin epidermis

endoderm

forms epithelial linings of the digestive, respiratory and urogenital systems

mesoderm

forms all the other tissues

sclerotome

produce the vertebrae and ribs

dermatome

help form the dermis of the skin on the dorsal part of the body

myotome

form the skeletal muscles of the neck, trunk, and limbs

ductus venosus

venous shunt that by passes the liver

foramen ovale

opening in the interatrial septa to bypass pulmonary circulation

the chorionic membrane is formed by which of the following layers in
a developing embryo?

cytotrophoblast and syncitiotrophoblast
both B and C

the umbilica cords becomes

ligamentum teres

ductus venosus becomes

ligamentum venosum

umbilical arteries becomes

medial umbilical ligaments

the foramen ovale becomes

fossa ovalis

ductus arteriosus becomes

ligamentum arteriosum

vasectomy

cutting and ligating the ducdtus deferens

ejaculation

propulsion of semen from the male duct system

suspensory

anchors the ovary laterally to the pelvic wall

mesovarium

suspends the ovary in between

broad ligament

contains the suspensory ligament and mesovarium

mittelschmerz

a twinge of pain sometimes felt at ovulation

Days 1-5

menstrual phase. uterus sheds all but the deepest part of the endometrium

days 6-14

proliferative (preovulatory) phase. endometrium rebuilds itself

Days 15-28

secretory (postovulatory) phase. endometrium prepares for
implantation of the embryo

implantation of a blastocyst
inner cell mass
trophoblast
blastocyst activity
syncytiotrophoblast
cytotrophoblast

hormonal changes during pregnancy
hCG
estrogen
pregesterone

events of placentation

circulation in fetus and newborn

chadwick's signs

the female reproductive organs become increasingly vascular and
engorged with blood, and the vagina develops a purplish hue

relaxin

causes pelvic ligaments and pubic symphysis to relax, widen, and
becomes more flexible

stages of labor

dilation stage
expulsion stage
placental stage

dilation stage

time from labor's onset until the cervix is fully dilated by the
baby's head ( about 10cm in diameter). last about 6-12 hours or more.

expulsion stage

lasts from full dilation to delivery of the infant or actual birth

placental stage

delivery of the placenta

engagement

occurs when the infant's head enters the true pelvis

crowning

occurs when the largest dimension of the baby's head distends the vulva
