Pregnancy And Development Flashcards
(35 cards)
Differenation
One cell becomes trillions = different cell types
Development can be broken down into two different segments
Prenatal development
Post natal development
Prenatal development
Fertilization = zygote
Uterus 0-8 = embryo
Uterus 9-40 = fetus
Postnatal development
Birth > maturity
Development
Gradual modification of anatomical structures and physiologic characteristics from conception to maturity.
Zygote
1cell
As soon as it becomes 2 cells > blastomere
Morula
Solid ball of cells after 3 days of cleavage (diuding)
Blastula
Inner cell mass - will feed embryo
Trophoblast - will feed embryo
Hollow
( 2 days only)
Implantation
Days 7-10
Ball of cells must borrow into endometrium and plant roots in order to obtain nutrients and 02
Gastrulation
Formation of ger in layers (rearrangement of cells)
Extra embryonic structures
1) Yolk Sac
2) Amnion
3) Alantois
4) Chorion
Yolk Sac
Will be important site of blood formation
Amnion
Encloses amniotic fluid that surrounds and cushion embryo
Alantois
Gives rise to urinary bladder, accumulates urine from embryo
Chorion
Rapid transit system linking embryo trophoblast (provides nutrition to embryo)
Place ration
Formation of placenta ( derived from the Chiron) beginning in week 3.
*as the embryo enlarges, it further separates from the uterine wall > umbilical cord begins to form
Ectoderm
Nervous System , skin
Mesoderm
Circulatory, musculoskeletal, kidneys
Endoderm
Digestive structures, lungs
Placental Hormones
HCG = human chorionic gonadotropin
Released into blood stream after implantation, similar to LH, maintains corpus Luteum until placenta manufactures own progesterone (3-4mos)
Umbilical cord contains
1) Allantois
2) Yolk sac
3) Blood Vessels
* One umbilical vein
* Two umbilical arteries
Second Trimester
Rapid growth
Third Trimester
Fully functional organs
Maternal Changes in Pregnancy
1) Increased RR and Tidal Volume
2) Increased Blood Volume by 50% by end of gestation
3) Increased requirement for nutrients and vitamins by 10-30%
4) Increased GFR by 50%
5) Increased size of uterus and mammary glands
