57
Decidual reaction.
Glands become Hypersecretory and stroma becomes edematous and rich in glycogen.
58
Arias- Stella Reaction.
Glands become hypersecretory and there are changes in nucleus.
59
Arias Stella Reaction is seen in
Intrauterine, Molar, and Ectopic Pregnancy.
60
Enzyme required for Estrogen Synthesis.
17-OH-Hydroxylase. | Req for Conversion of 17-OH progesterone to Androstenedione. A c21 steroid req for estrogen synthesis
61
Estrogen in Pregnancy.
Fetal ACTH converts DHEA-S to E2 by Sulphatase and Aromatase.
62
