Cards

Term
What is obstetrics?
Definition
Management of pregnancy/birth/neonatology
Term
What is a zygote?
Definition
A single cell
Term
What is a morula?
Definition
Solid ball of cells
Term
What is a blastocyst?
Definition
Ball with fluid-filled cavity
Term
When is the embryo phase?
Definition
First 8 weeks of development
Term
When does the fetus begin/end?
Definition
9 weeks until birth
Term
When is the neonatal phase?
Definition
Days 1-28 after birth
Term
What is fertilization?
Definition
Genetic material from haploid sperm merges with genetic material from haploid secondary oocyte forming a single diploid nucleus
Term
Where does fertilization occur and how long does it take?
Definition
Fallopian tubes, 12-24 hours after ovulation
Term
How long is the sperm viable in the vagina?
Definition
48 hours
Term
What is syngamy?
Definition
Fusion of sperm and secondary oocyte, sperm penetrates secondary oocyte
Term
What does fertilization result in?
Definition
Zygote, diploid nucleus
Term
What are dizygotic twins?
Definition
Fraternal, two separate oocytes, genetically different siblings
Term
What are monozygotic twins?
Definition
Identical, one fertilized egg, split early in development (up to 8 days after fertilization), genetically identical
Term
How do congoined twins form?
Definition
Fertilized egg splits more than 8 days after fertilization
Term
What is cleavage?
Definition
Mitosis, begin 24 hours after fertilization, begins with blastomere then morula then blastocyst
Term
What is a blastomere?
Definition
Cells produced by cleavage
Term
What is a blastocyst?
Definition
Hollow ball of cells, stage when enters uterus
Term
What is the trophoblast?
Definition
Outer layer of blastocyst
Term
What is the inner cell mass?
Definition
Inner layer of blastocyst
Term
What is the blastocele?
Definition
Cavity of the blastocyst
Term
Where and when does implantation occur?
Definition
Fundus or body of uterus, two days after entering uterus
Term
What is an ectopic pregnancy?
Definition
Implantation in fallopian tubes or outer surface of tubes or uterus, can lead to bleeding and acute abdominal and pelvic pain, can result in missed periods, life-threatening to mother
Term
What is in vitro fertilization(IVF)?
Definition
Fertilization outside body, morula inserted into uterus
Term
What is gamete intrafallopian transfer(GIFT)?
Definition
Sperm and eggs transferred laprascopically into fallopian tube, fertilization in fallopian tube
Term
What is intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI)?
Definition
Sperm injected into secondary oocyte's cytoplasm, then IVF procedure following
Term
What are IVF, GIFT, and ICSI?
Definition
Alternative methods of fertilization
Term
What is the purpose of amniotic fluid?
Definition
Protection
Term
What structures develop during the second week of development?
Definition
Amnion, yolk sac, chorion
Term
What occurs in the third week of development?
Definition
Gastrulation = development of endoderm/mesoderm/ectoderm, development of notochord which will become backbone, neurulation = development of nervous system, beginnings of muscles/bones, beginnings of heart development
Term
What occurs in the fourth week of development?
Definition
Organogenesis = all major organs start to develop, beginnings of upper and lower limb buds,eyes and ear begin to develop, lungs begin to develop, tail appears
Term
What occurs doing the fifth week of development?
Definition
Rapid development of brain, head grows
Term
What occurs during the sixth week of development?
Definition
Limbs show much development, heart now has 4 chambers
Term
What happens during the seventh week of development?
Definition
Regions of limb become distinct, fingers and toes begin to appear
Term
What happens during the eighth week of development?
Definition
Tail starting to disappear, eyes now open, fingers and toes now distinct, external genitals begin to differentiate, embryo looks human
Term
What are teratogens?
Definition
Substances that are harmful to developing fetus, examples are: chemicals and drugs, ionizing radiation, alcohol, cigarette smoking
Term
What roles do progetserone and estrogens play in pregnancy?
Definition
Maintains endometrium during pregnancy, helps prepare mammary glands for lactation, prepares mother's body for birth
Term
What does the human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG) hormone do?
Definition
Stimulates estrogen and progesterone secretion by corpus luteum, peaks during 9th week
Term
What does relaxin hormone do?
Definition
Increases flexibility of pubic symphysis/ligaments/joints, helps dilate uterine cervix during labor
Term
What are some general maternal changes during pregnancy?
Definition
Weight gain, breast enlargement, lower back pain
Term
What are cardiovascular maternal changes during pregnancy?
Definition
SV/CO/HR and blood volume all increase
Term
What are some pulmonary maternal changes during pregnancy?
Definition
Increased respiratory volumes, increased O2 demand
Term
What are some digestive maternal changes during pregnancy?
Definition
Increased appetite, nausea, vomiting, constipation
Term
What are some urinary maternal changes during pregnancy?
Definition
Frequent urination
Term
What are some integumentary maternal changes during pregnancy?
Definition
Stretch marks(striae), increased pigmentation, hair loss increases
Term
What are some reproductive maternal changes during pregnancy?
Definition
Uterus enlarges, vagina more pliable
Term
What is true labor?
Definition
Regular uterine contractions, oxytocin and relaxin released, interval shortens, strength increases, blood in cervical mucus, cervical dilation
Term
What is false labor?
Definition
Irregular abdominal pain, no show, no cervical dilation
Term
What is the first stage of labor?
Definition
Dilation: time from onset of labor to complete dilation of cervix, longest stage typically 6-12 hours, water breaks (amniotic fluid)
Term
What is the second stage of labor?
Definition
Expulsion: contractions force fetal head into cervix stretching it, stretch receptors cause release of more oxytocin which causes stronger more frequent contractions, cycle broken when delivery accomplished and all stimuli cease
Term
What is dystocia?
Definition
Difficult birth, may require cesarean section
Term
What is the third stage of labor?
Definition
Placental: 5-30 minutes after delivery until placenta expelled
Term
What is lumbar epidural?
Definition
Most widely used method in childbirth for pain relief, only technique that gives complete pain relief while patient is awake and alert, catheter inserted into epidural space
Term
What is a saddle block?
Definition
Somewhat common, affects part of body touching saddle, given when patient is ready to deliver, injected into fluid around spinal cord
Term
What 3 respiratry adjustments must occur together within the infant at birth?
Definition

Medulllary respiratory center: responds to high carbon dioxide level to stimulate respiratory muscles

Respiratory muscles: contract to draw in first breath

Lungs: vaginal delivery squeezes fluid out of lungs

Term
What cardiovascular adjustments occur at birth?
Definition
Foramen ovale closes at moment of birth, ductus arteriosus is shut by muscular contractions when lungs are used, ductus venosus closes when umbilical cord is severed
