PRENATAL DEVELOPMENT

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Period involves growth and development of these organ systems   fetal period  
🗑
Fetus is now viable – it has chance of surviving outside the womb, although under intensive care as it will need help breathing   6 months  
🗑
Fatty tissues develop, functioning of organ systems steps up (heart and kidneys)   Last two months  
🗑
handle information processing at the cellular level in the brain   Neurons  
🗑
Neural tube   formation of the nervous system  
🗑
Neurogenesis   generation of new neurons  
🗑
Neural migration   cells moving outward from their point of origin to their appropriate locations  
🗑
Neural connectivity   connections between neurons begins to occur (continues postnatally)  
🗑
Teratology   field of study that investigates the causes of birth defects  
🗑
Teratogens   agent that causes a birth defect  
🗑
Dose, Genetic susceptibility, Time of exposure   Teratogen Exposure  
🗑
probability of structural defect is greatest when exposed to teratogens   Embryonic Period  
🗑
problems in how organs functions and may result in stunted growth rather than structural damage when infant is exposed to teratogens in this prenatal stage   Fetal Period  
🗑
In prohibited list of teratogens that should never be taken during first trimester   Accutane  
🗑
exposure of mothers to this results in lower birth weight and babies being born small for gestational age   Caffeine  
🗑
cluster of abnormalities and problems that appear in the offspring of mothers who drink alcohol heavily during pregnancy   Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder  
🗑
Preterm births and low birth weights, fetal and neonatal deaths, respiratory problems (asthma), sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS or crib death) + Risk factor for ADHD   Nicotine  
🗑
is linked to impaired connectivity of thalamus and prefrontal cortex in newborns. exposure to this leads to an increased risk of baby being born stillborn   Environmental tobacco smoke  
🗑
Reduced birth weight, length, and head circumference; Impaired motor development at 2 years of age and slower rate of growth through 10 years of age, and executive functions deficits   Cocaine  
🗑
- Lower intelligence in children - Alters brain functioning in the fetus - Low birth weight and greater likelihood of being placed in a neonatal intensive care unit - Stillbirth   Marijuana  
🗑
Withdrawal symptoms – tremors, irritability, abnormal crying, disturbed sleep, impaired motor control   Heroin  
🗑
-> increased risk of preterm birth, increased stillbirth and increased likelihood of newborn needing to be in ICU   Maternal obesity  
🗑
70% lower risk of delivering between 20-28 weeks and 50% lower risk of delivering between 28-32 weeks; leads to neural tube defects   Folic Acid  
🗑
sensitive to developing brain and nervous system; reduced placental and fetal growth, miscarriage, preterm birth, lower intelligence   Mercury in fish  
🗑
Longest of the three stages Uterine contractions are 15-20 minutes apart and last up to 1 minute   First Stage  
🗑
When baby’s head starts to move through the cervix and the birth canal Ends when baby completely emerges from the mother’s body   Second Stage  
🗑
Afterbirth Placenta, umbilical cord, and other membranes are detached and expelled   Third Stage  
🗑
Used to assess health of newborns at 1 to 5 minutes after birth   Apgar Scale  
🗑
Performed within 24-36 hours after birth Assesses neurological development, reflexes, and reactions to people and objects   Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale  
🗑
"offspring" of the NBAS Another assessment of newborn’s behavior, neurological and stress responses, and regulatory capacities   Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
