Q

describe follicular phase

A
  • activin increases FSH release, causing increases follcilar and ovum development. reduces androgens in theca cells
  • theca interna develops which prooduces oestrogen and inhibin
  • dominant follicle selected
  • oestrogen begins to exert positive feedback as levels rise. increases FSH and LH, however presence of inhibin reduces FSH. causes LH surge and ovulation

Q

describe luteal phase

A
  • the egg is released. leaves behind corpus luteum
  • corupus luteum is leutinised and secretes oestrogen and progesterone.
  • oestrogen inhibits FSH and LH release, to prevent further follicle development
  • in no fertilisation, progesterone and oestrogen fall and corupus luteum becomes corpus albicans.

55
Q

describe adaptations to increase o2 suppyl to fetus

A
  • increases maternal 2,3BPG
  • HBF has lower affinity for 2,3BPG and so accepts O2 more readily
  • double bohr effect.

mother- as co2 passes into intervilloius blood from fetal circulation pH decreases. pushes curve to left. reduced o2 affinity so o2 given up

fetus- as co2 is given up into maternal circulation pH rises. this increases o2 affinity

56
Q

adaptations to incfrease co2 removal from fetus

A
  • progesterone driven hypeventillation reduces maternal pco2, and so increases upatake from fetus

65
Q

why does suckling stop menstruation

A

inhibits arcuate nucleus, no GnRH

66
Q

4 types of hormone affecting the breasy

A

Mammogenic (promote proliferation of alveolar & duct cells)

Lactogenic (promote initiation of milk production)

Galactokinetic (promote contraction of myoepithelial cells)

Galactopoietic (maintain milk production).

67
Q

effect of suckling on lactationm

A

suckling stimulates neurons from the spinal cord to inhibit dopamine release, and the levels of PRL therefore increase. This leads to stimulation of milk production by the breast. Suckling thus maintains milk production, i.e. suckling in one feed orders the next feed.

68
Q

describe Puerperal Mastitis

A

condition where milk accumulation in the breast can lead to inflammation, with or without infection.

occurs if the mother does not breastfeed with both breasts, and therefore milk can build up in the lactiferous ducts of the unused breast.

If infection is present, it is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus, and can lead to abscess formation.
