maternal mortality rate | per 100,000 LB 13.1 in US |
preterm | before 37 weeks |
low birth wt | under 2500 grams |
clinical nurse specialists (CNS)require a .... | master's degree |
false pelvis | above pelvic brim, supports wt of prego uterus, directs fetus ito true pelvis |
inlet | upper border of pelvis |
pelvic cavity | curved canal w/longer posterior than anterior wall |
pelvic outlet | lower border of true pelvis |
other divisions of pelvis | gynecoid, android, anthropoid, platypelloid |
estrogen | secondary sex characteristics, maturation of ovarian follicles, causes endometrial mucousa to proliferate after menstruation, uterus inc in sz & wt, inc myometrial contractility in uterus & FT, inc sensitivity to oxytocin |
estrogen inhibits ________ and stimulates ___________ | FSH, LH |
progesterone | dec uterine motility & contractility, fascilitates vag epthelium proliferation, secretes thick viscous cervical mucous, inc breast glandular tissue in preparation for breast feeding |
prostaglandins | increases during follicuar maturation (needed to release egg) |
follicular phase | hypothalamus releases GnRH-> FSH, LH; FSH responsible for maturation of ovarian follicle, then secrete estrogen. Final maturation by LH which results in ovulation |
luteal phase | release of ovum; LH: corpus luteum develops from ruptured follicle, secretion of progesterone increases, fertilized ovum able to implant into endometrium, secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)- that's how u know you're prego |
absence of fertilization in luteal phase | the c. luteum degenerates, dec amts estrogen & progesterone (which causes neg feedback)--> inc in LH and FSH |
Menstrual phase | shedding of endometrial lining, low estrogen |
proliferative phase | enlargement of endometrial glands, changes in cervical mucous, increases in estrogen levels |
secretory phase | follows ovulation, inc in vascularity in uterus (for fetus), inc in myometrial glandular secretions |
ischemic phase | if fertilization does not occur, this phase begins. The c.luteum degenerates, both estrogen & progesterone levels fall, escape of blood into the stromal cells of the endometrium |
meiosis | produce gametes (haploid) |
mitosis | 2 identical diploid (46) daughter cells |
oogenesis | process that produces female egg, begins as a fetus, are all present @ birth, during puberty, mature primary oocyte goes through 1st mitotic division |
oogenesis, the 1st meitotic division | 2 cells of unequal size, same # 22 double-structured autosomal chromosomes and 1 double-structured (x)-sex chromosome, one is the polar body, the other is the secondary oocyte |
meiosis | go over |
SPERMATOGENESIS | begins w/a set/diploid chromosomes which replicate- this cell is now primary spermatocyte.1st meiotic division-form 2 secondary spermatocytes w/haploid 22 autosomal chrommosomes & 1 x or y. During second meiotic divison, they become 4 spermatids |
ovum released into FT is viable for __________ | 24 hours |
sperm in vagina viable for _________ | 24- 48 hrs (highly viable for 24 hours) |
sperm must undergo ______ & ________ reaction, which is what | capacitation & acrosomal reaction. Capacitation; sperm must lose it's plasma coating w/in 7 hours, acrosomal rx is when the acrosomes of the the sperms surrounding ovum release enzymed to to break down the hylaluronic acid surrounding corona radiata |
blastomeres grow into a _________ of how many cells? | morula of 12-16 cells |
morula becomes a _____________ surrounded by an outer layer called a __________ | blastocyst, trophoblast |
implantation occurs in how many days | 7 |
cell differentiation; the ___________ differentiates into the________, _________, &_______ in how many days | blastocyst into the endoderm, ectoderm, & mesoderm in 10-14 days |
what embryonic membranes form at implantation? | the chorion & amnion |
amniotic fluid | created when amniotic and chorionic grow & connect to produce fluid |
yolk sac | develop as part of the blastocyst, produces primitive RBC, soon incorporated into umbilical cord |
endoderm | results in formation of epithelial lining of respiratory & digestive tract |
umbilical cord | provides circulatory pathway- developed from amnion, body stalk attaches embryo to yolk sac, fuses w/embryonic portion of placenta. Provides pathway from chorionic villi to embryo, surrounded by wharton's jelly. |
placenta | begins 3rd week for metabolic & nutrient exchange- has 2 parts, maternal & fetal |
maternal portion of placenta | consists of decidua basalis 7 it's circulation- red & fleshlike |
fetal portion of placenta | consists of chorionic villi & circulation, fetal surface covered by amnion, shiny and gray |
identical twins | sing fetilized ovum, same sex/genotype, common placenta, # amnions & chorions depends on # of divisions. |
monozygosity is not affected by | environment, race, fertility, physical characteristics |
identical twins, division within 3 days= | 2 embryos, 2 amnions, 2 chorions |
identical twins, division within 5 days= | 2 embryos, 2 amniotic sacs, common chorion-- so it's a monochorionic-diamniotic placenta |
fraternal twins/dizygotic | from 2 seperate ova fertilized by 2 seperate spermatazoa, 2 placentas (sometimes fuse), 2 chorions, 2 amnions, same sex or different |
