accuracy) (Questions + Answers) Solved 100% Correct!!
three types of prenatal diagnostic tests - (ANSWER)ultrasound, amniocentesis, and chorionic villus
sampling (CVA)
ultrasound - (ANSWER)prenatal diagnostic technique that uses high frequency sounds to create an image
of the baby
amniocentesis - (ANSWER)Prenatal diagnostic technique involving needle puncture of the amniotic sac
to withdraw amniotic fluid for analysis; looks for chromosomal and genetic abnormalities
chorionic villus sampling (CVS) - (ANSWER)Prenatal diagnostic technique in which a small sample of the
fetal portion of the placenta is removed for analysis to detect certain genetic and congenital defects in
the fetus.
what are the three types of genetic-environment interactions? - (ANSWER)passive, evocative, and active
passive genotype-environment interaction - (ANSWER)parents provide genetic disposition and nurturing
context to foster certain qualities
evocative genotype-environment interaction - (ANSWER)parents provide genetic predisposition for a
child to evoke certain reactions in others that will influence their development
active genotype-environment interaction - (ANSWER)parents provide genetic predisposition that results
in a child actively seeking out environmental conditions that foster development of certain qualities
three periods of neonatal development - (ANSWER)germinal, embryonic, and fetal
germinal period - (ANSWER)week 0-2
zygote created, attaches to uterus wall

embryonic period - (ANSWER)week 2-8
layers of cells form that later develop into organs and systems
fetal period - (ANSWER)month 2-9
major growth and development
teratogens - (ANSWER)agents that interfere with natural growth and produce a birth defect
which three variables determine a teratogen's effect? - (ANSWER)- gestational age
- amount of teratogen
- susceptibility
When does organogenesis begin? - (ANSWER)Around week 3 through week 8
why is stress a teratogen? - (ANSWER)stress causes blood to be directed away from fetus and towards
mother's brain, limbs, heart. Cortisol can cross placenta and increase fetal HR
why is cognitive development more susceptible? - (ANSWER)brain develops all throughout pregnancy
what are the three phases of childbirth? - (ANSWER)- early & active labor
- delivery of baby
- delivery of the placenta
early labor and active labor - (ANSWER)- longest stage
- starts at onset of true labor
- ends when cervix completely dilated

- 30-45 sec contractions w 5-30 min between
- 45-60 sec contractions w 3-5 min between
- amniotic sac may rupture
delivery of baby - (ANSWER)- begins when cervix dilated
- 20 min-2 hrs
delivery of placenta - (ANSWER)- 5-10 min
- contractions again
- placenta separates from uterine wall
three drugs used in childbirth - (ANSWER)analgesia, anesthesia, oxytocics
Analgesia vs Anesthesia - (ANSWER)drugs that relieve pain; includes narcotics, tranquilizers, and
barbiturates
anesthesia - (ANSWER)drugs that blocks pain, can be general or epidural
oxytocics - (ANSWER)drugs that stimulate contractions and induce labor
postpartum biological adjustments - (ANSWER)involution, sleep adjustments, physical healing
postpartum psychological adjustments - (ANSWER)coordinating schedules, readjusting social
relationships, bonding with baby
pros and cons of naturalistic observation - (ANSWER)pro: can observe natural behavior
