Q

Placenta

A

Structure that provides nutrients and oxygen to and removes waste from the developing offspring. Secretes estrogen and progesterone to maintain the endometrium. Rich in blood vessels, that attaches to the embryo and fetus to the uterine wall where metabolic change can take place

25
Morphogenesis
Series of events that form distinct structures of the developing organism
26
Differentiation
Cellular process that enables a cell to develop a particular shape, and to perform specific functions that are different from the functions of other cells
27
Notochord
Rod like structure that will form the basic framework of the skeleton
28
Neurulation
Process of forming the neural tube which develops into the brain and spinal cord
29
Extra-embryonic membranes
Any membrane external to the embryo, responsible for the protection, nutrition, respiration and excretion of the embryo and fetus
30
Afterbirth
Expelled membranes and structure during childbirth
31
Chorion
First membrane to form, is the outermost membrane that encloses all other membranes and the embryo. Forms from the trophoblast
32
Amnion
Second membrane to form, filled with fluid that acts as a constant temperature incubator and protects the embryo from jarring
33
Yolk sac
Source of nourishment for vertebrates (not for humans), contributed to the digestive tract and produces the first blood cells
34
Allantois
Small pouch that forms from the intestinal tract that contributes to the formation of the umbilical cord
35
Umbilical cord
Rod like structure that leads from the navel area of the fetus to the center of the placenta. Contains two arteries that transport oxygen depleted blood from the fetus to the placenta, and one vein to bring oxygen rich blood to the fetus
36
First trimester
Weeks 1-12, growth in body length and cartilage of skeleton begins to harden
37
Second trimester
Weeks 13-24
38
Third trimester
Weeks 25-38
39
Teratogen
Any agent that causes a structural abnormality due to exposure during pregnancy
40
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
Described all the disorders related to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Alcohol is the most damaging teratogen, affects the brain, nervous system and physical development
41
Nutrients as a teratogen
If ingested in large amounts the baby becomes accustomed to large doses and after birth the supply drops, so the baby has a deficiency
42
Parturition
Birthing process, commonly referred to as labour. Events begin with uterine contractions
43
Onset of labour
Marked by uterine contractions occurring every 15-20 minutes and lasting 40 seconds or longer.
44
Contractions
Induced by a stretching of the cervix and brings about the release of oxytocin from the posterior pituitary gland
45
Caesarean Section
Incision in the mothers abdomen and uterus, the baby is delivered through the incision
46
Dilation stage
Uterine contractions and oxytocin cause the cervix to open or dilate. Amniotic sac breaks releasing fluid from the vagkna
47
Expulsion stage
Forceful contractions push the baby through the cervix to the birth canal
48
Placental Stage
10-15 minutes after the baby is born, the placenta and umbilical cord are expelled from the uterus called after birth
49
Lactation
Secretion and formation of breast milk in the mother. Baby suckles stimulating nerve endings in nipple and Areola, travels to the hypothalamus, stimulates posterior pituitary to release oxytocin. Oxytocin causes contraction of mammary lobules and produces milk.
50
Prolactin
Hormone needed for milk production
51
Sterile
Describes men and women who are unable to have any children
52
Infertile
Difficulty conceiving children, after unsuccessfully trying to have children for a year or more
53
Artificial insemination
Sperm are collected and concentrated before being placed in the woman's vagina
54
In vitro fertilization
Ultrasound machines are used to identify specific follicles that are close to ovulation eggs can be retrieved from these follicles. Combined with sperm in glassware. Fertilization occurs and then the embryo is placed in the uterus
55
Surrogate mothers
Infertile couple has another woman carry their baby, one or both gametes may be contributed by the couple
56
Super ovulation
Production of multiple eggs as a result of hormone treatment used by women who ovulate rarely or not at all
57
Abstinence
Not having sexual intercourse, cannot contact stis
58
Tubal ligation
In women, involves cutting the oviducts and tying off the cut ends. Ensures ovum never reached the uterus or encounters sperm
59
Vasectomy
Ductus Deferens is cut and tied, man still has an erection and ejaculates but semen does not contain any sperm
60
Contraceptive technologies
Changed the balance of reproductive hormones in a women's body. Mimics the effect of progesterone and inhibits the release of FSH and LH from anterior pituitary. Women does not ovulate
61
Morning after pill
Emergency hormone treatment after unprotected sexual intercourse, release high levels of estrogen and progesterone that disrupt or delay the ovarian cycle
62
Physical or Chemical Barriers
Include condoms, latex cap, and contraceptive sponge. Spermicides (kills sperm) can be used together to increase effectiveness
63
Natural Family planning
Refrain from intercourse when a women is most fertile (week before ovulation to a day or two after)
