*Environment
*socioeconomic factors
*health behaviors
Family systems theory
Views family as a complex system of interconnected and interdependent individuals
Types of families
Traditional, non-traditional
Traditional and legal family definition
Family mems are related by legal ties or genetic relationships
Non-traditional fam def

*Family is a developing group which goes through stages
*fam mems must perform certain time specific tasks
*disequilibrium is common when entering a new stage w/goal of hemostasis w/i stages
Family SYSTEMS theory (3 points) (the system IIB)
*Inter-related: a change in one member affects the whole family
*Interaction: “who am I” and “who I have become” depends on fam relations and interactions
*Boundaries: Lines between fam mems and between the fam and the outside world

Menstrual cycle: Endometrial development (4 points)
- Menstruation: surface of endometrium sheds resulting in menses
- Proliferative phase (follicular phase): endometrial cells proliferate and lining thickens
- Secretory phase (Luteal phase): egg is expelled from ovary (ovulation) into the pelvic cavity
- Premenstrual phase: Endometrium continues to mature until a sudden drop in hormone levels triggers menstruation (Week b4 period typically)
Ovarian cycle (3 points)
- follicular phase
- ovulation
- luteal phase
Follicular phase: Where, when, hormones
*Hormones: FSH stims graafian follicles (up to 20) which prepares egg for ovulation
*Where: Nerve cells in hypothalamus release GnRH into blood -> this stims the pituitary gland to make/release FSH and LH
*When: From start of period until ovulation
Ovulation: What
*Egg released into pelvic cavity -> fimbriae of fallopian tubes bring egg into tube
Luteal phase: Hormone, Where, Job (Lut the pro, the pre-placenta)
*Hormone: Progesterone
*Where: corpus luteum produces progesterone
*Job: if preg occurs, corpus luteum maintains pregnancy until placenta is mature enough to take over at 12 wks

*2nd year of life in increments of 6 mon
*after 2 yrs, in increments on a year
