3rd trimester is week _#_ to week _#_
week 28 - birth
26
Stage where there is a newly fertilized egg. 2 individual sets of 23 chromosomes are interchanged, one from each parent
Zygote Stage
27
Zygote stage's time frame ranges:
from conception to early implantation (week 1 and 2)
28
Stage where development includes: - umbilical cord - eyes, arms and legs - brain and nervous system - heart starts to beat around 4 weeks
Embryo stage
29
during the _____ stage, blood vessels allow exchange of nutrients, oxygen, vitamins, and waste products through the umbilical cord
Embryo Stage
30
_____ is most sensitive to environmental toxins
embryo
31
Stage where: - fetus starts weighing less than an ounce and gains about 7-8 pounds by the end of pregnancy - all regions of the brain grow - systems develop - movements are now obvious - sense begin to work - sensory experiences form memories
Fetal Stage
32
A fetus can survive outside the womb at _#_ - _#_weeks.
22-28
33
The fetal stage time frame:
9th week to birth
34
embryo stage time frame:
3 weeks through 8 weeks of pregnancy
35
There are _#_ stages of labor and delivery
3
36
Labor and delivery stage 1 may last:
12-24 hours. Contractions start
37
Labor and delivery stage 2:
when the baby passes through the cervix and enter the vagina
38
Labor and delivery stage 3:
after birth, placenta is delivered
39
Immediately after delivery 3 things happen to the mother:
- breasts begin to produce milk - uterus becomes smaller - female hormones drop
40
Roughly half of new mothers experience:
"baby blues"
41
After delivery excitement turns to irritability and crying spells. Lasts about a week or two
"baby blues"
42
about 10-15% of women experience
post-partum depression
43
irritability continues for months and is combined with feelings of low self worth, poor appetite, and disturbed sleep
post-partum depression
44
babies born before 36 weeks
preterm (premature)
45
low birth weight:
<5.5lbs

very low birth weight:
<3.3lbs
47
extremely low birth weight:
<2.2lbs
48
4 other common birth complications:
- cephalopelvic disproportion - irregular position, shoulder or breech - preeclampsia - prolapsed umbilical cord- can cause hypoxia
49
an agent that causes abnormal prenatal development (drugs, disease, environmental hazards)
teratogens
50
4 common examples of prenatal environmental influences:
- prescription drugs - illegal drugs - tobacco - alcohol
51
prenatal environmental influences are dependent on"
- dose - heredity - age
52
the impact of ______ change during different times of prenatal development
teratogens
53
____ do not effect all body systems, different forms warrant different damages
teratogens
54

evident and noticeable
55
_____ hormones cross placenta
stress
56
4 common maternal factors:
- nutrition - stress - Rh factor - Maternal age
57
sound waves introduced via transducer converted into images

58
______ determines fetus' growth; presence of developmental abnormalities
fetal ultrasound
59
amniotic fluid extracted used to identify chromosomal or genetic abnormalities
amniocentesis
60
diagnostic test from taking a sample of tissue from the chorion (part of the placenta)
CVS chorionic villus sampling
61
incomplete closure of neural tube early in pregnancy
spina bifida
62
disorder that slows physical growth. Leads to physical abnormalities, cardiac problems, decreased motor coordination, behavioral problems and poor cognitive functioning
FAS Fetal alcohol syndrome
63
____ constricts blood vessel and reduces oxygen and nutrients that can reach the fetus via placenta.
smoking
64
women who ____ are more likely to miscarry
smoke
65
babies born from smoking mothers are more likely to:
have low birth weight
66
