the uterus during pregnancy;
it is shed after giving birth

Embryo the developing human

organism from about 2 weeks
after fertilization through the
second month

EDB, EDC, EDD ...

Fertilization process in sexual

reproduction in which male
and female reproductive
cells join to form a new cell

Fetus the developing human

organism from 9 weeks after
conception to birth

Foramen ovale penetrates interatrial septum

from fifth week of embryonic
development until birth

Hydramnios more than 2000 ml of

amniotic fluid in the uterus.
can cause maternal diabetes;
esophageal atresia
(diminishes or prevents fetal
swallowing); and kidney
disorders that affect kidney
output.

Implantation (embryology) the organic

process whereby a fertilized
egg becomes implanted in
the lining of the uterus of
placental mammals

MdDonald' rule ...

Meconium thick dark green mucoid

material that is the first feces
of a newborn child

Nonstress test test to identify fetal

compromise in conditions
with poor placenta function,
such as hypertension,
diabetes mellitus, or postterm
gestation (pregnancy last
beyond 42 weeks), this test
determines the fetal well-
being, measured by the
ability of the fetus to respond
to its bodymovement by
accelerations of the heart
rate.

Oligohydramnio decreased amniotic fluid.

s increased risk of fetus
because the umbilical cord
does not have enough fluid
to float and may become
compressed.

Surfactant a substance capable of

reducing the surface tension
of a liquid in which it is
dissolved, An amphipathic
molecule secreted by cells in
the alveoli (type 2 alveolar
cells) tha reducs surface
tension on the inside of the
alveolar walls. This prevents
the alveoli from collapsing
upon exhale and sticking
together, thus reducing the
effort required for inspiration.

Trophoblast The outer ring of cells of a

blastocyst. The trophoblast
takes part in the formation of
the placenta.

Umbilical cord a cord or funicle connecting

the embryo or fetus with the
placenta of the mother and
transporting nourishment
from the mother and wastes
from the fetus

survive in the event of a
premature birth., Age at
which a preterm newborn
can survive, about 22 weeks,
weight and maturity are
crucial

Amniocentesis (pregnancy) extraction by

centesis of amniotic fluid
from a pregnant woman
(after the 15th week of
pregnancy) to aid in the
diagnosis of fetal
abnormalities

Amniotic The innermost layer which

membrane encloses the fetus and
produces amniotic fluid

Chorionic surround the gestational sac

membrane and extends up and migrates
into the placenta. Outer fetal
membrane

Chorionic villi a procedure in which the

sampling (CVS) chorionic villi to are analyzed
to diagnose fetal genotypes

Zygote the cell resulting from the

union of an ovum and a
spermatozoon (including the
organism that develops from
that cell)
