18
Q
is the release of eggs from the ovaries
also known as the fertile stage

19
Q
ovulation occurs when the ovarian follicles rupture and release the secondary _____________ cells
A
oocytes ovarian
20
Q
After ovulation, during the ________, the egg will be available to be fertilized by sperm
A
luteal phase
21
Q
what happens during the follicular phase?
A
estrogen stimulates the hypothalamus to secrete gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRh) which causes the pituitary gland to release:
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
22

A
6-20
23
Q

24
Q
On day 14 of the menstrual cycle, blood levels of ____ and ___ peak.

Ovarian follicle
26
Women begin puberty with about ________ follicles, each with the potential to release an egg cell (ovum) at ovulation for fertilization
400,000
27
cause the cells within the follicles to secrete progesterone
Luteinizing hormone
28
______ and _______ promt endometrium (uterine wall) to store nutrients and expand the growth of blood vessels and connective tissues
fuq: baquette
Estrogen, progesterone
to store nutrients, ready the uterus for possible pregnancy
29
begins after ovulation
Luteal phase
30
develops from the follicle that contained the ovum
his tissue secretes large amounts of progesterone and estrogen - further develops the endometrium
Corpus Luteum
31
what happens if the egg isn't fertilized
- The production of hormones by the corpus luteum declines, and blood levels of progesterone and estrogen fall
- GnRH is able to stimulate FSH and LH for the next cycle
- Blood vessels in the endometrium constrict, allowing the uterine wall to release its outer layer in the menstrual flow.
- If hindi fertilize and nagka mens, that's menstruation
32
what happens if the egg is fertilized
The ovum will implant in the lining of the uterus within 8 to 10 days
(although di naiimplant lahat)
33
Approximately ________ ova or primordial follicles are formed during early fetal development

34
During a woman’s fertile years, only ______ ova will mature and be released for possible fertilization
400-500
35
degeneration of those ovarian follicles which do not ovulate during the menstrual cycle
the rest are lost in a process called
atresia
36
At birth, approximately _______ of eggs are produced and during the time of puberty, only about ______ will remain. Out of these, only ____ to ____ will be ovulated during a woman's reproductive lifetime
1 million
300,000
300 to 400
37
what happens during fraternal pregnancy
A fraternal twin pregnancy will happen when two eggs are released during ovulation, and if both eggs are fertilized. Most of the time, only one egg is released during ovulation. It is also possible that the ovaries will release two eggs at once.
38
what happens during identical pregnancy
To form identical or monozygotic twins, one fertilized egg (ovum) splits and develops into two babies with exactly the same genetic information. On the other hand, to form fraternal or dizygotic twins, two eggs (ova) are fertilized by two sperm to produce two genetically unique children
39
The ______________ are two tubes where the eggs travel through from the ovaries to the uterus. Each month, during a process called ovulation, one of the ovaries releases an egg that travels down one of the fallopian tubes, where it may or may not be fertilized by a sperm.
fallopian tubes
40
physiologogical stages
implantation

growth
41
develops from the follicle that contained the ovum

Implantation
43
A newly fertilized ovum is called ________. Less than 1 week of fertilization.
zygote
44
embryo undergoes rapid cell division. Generally completed 60 days after conception
Organogenesis
45
A newly fertilized ovum is called a zygote. Less than 1 week after fertilization, the cell has rapidly divided multiple times to become a ______ ready for implantation
.
blastocyst
46
After implantation, the placenta develops and
begins to provide nourishment to the developing ________
embryo
47
The ______ continues to grow during
the next 7 months. Each organ
grows to maturity according to its
own schedule, with greater intensity
at some times than at others.
fetus
48
remaining seven months characterized
by growth in the number of cells and size of
organs until it can support extra-uterine life.
Growth (7 months)
49
times of intense development and rapid cell division.
Critical period –
50
The word placenta
came from the latin
word for
cake
51
“_______” in the sense that these cellular
activities can occur only at those times.
The development of each organ and tissue
is most vulnerable to adverse influences
(such as nutrient deficiencies) during its
own critical period.
Critical/Critical period
52
Development of the placenta precedes ________
fetal development.
53
what happens to the placenta by week 12
By week 12, the placenta is formed. It will
be responsible for the nourishment of the
baby. It continues to grow throughout
pregnancy. It is considered mature by 34
weeks. Under normal conditions,
the placenta will attach to the wall of the
uterus.
54
What is the role of the placenta
A disc shaped organ through which nutrients,
oxygen, and waste products can be
exchanged in the fetus. It is also the
principal site of production of several
hormones that regulate maternal growth and
development.
55
1st trimester weight gain
4.4 pounds
56
Placental transport mechanisms
passive diffusion
facilitated diffusion
active transport
Endocytosis
57
Substances transported by passive diffusion
Water, oxygen, CO2, fatty
acids, glucose, vitamins E
and K, sodium, chloride
58
Substances transported by Facilitated diffusion
Most monosaccharides
59
Substances transported by active diffusion
Amino acids, calcium, iron, iodine, phosphate, water soluble vitamins
60
Substances transported by endocytosis
Immunoglobulins(glycoprotein
molecules produced by WHC)
61
What is facilitated diffusion
is a form of facilitated transport involving the passive movement of molecules along their concentration gradient, guided by the presence of another molecule – usually an integral membrane protein forming a pore or channel. Facilitated diffusion is the passive movement of molecules
across the cell membrane via the aid of a membrane protein
62
What is diffusion
Diffusion is a passive process of transport. A single substance tends to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
until the concentration is equal across the space
63
What is active transport
In cellular biology, active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration—against the concentration gradient. Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this movement.
64
what is endocytosis
is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell.
The material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of cell membrane,
which then buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing the ingested
material. Endocytosis includes pinocytosis and phagocytosis.
65
All women need to _______ during
pregnancy. It is a physiological result to
foster fetal growth and maternal health.
