TEST 2 OB
what is artificial insemination (AI) ? - ANS sperm that has been removed from semen is deposited
directly into the cervix using a plastic catheter
what fertility conditions indicates AI to be used? - ANS -poor mucus production due to previous
surgery of the cervix
-anti-sperm antibodies
-diminished amount of sperm
-diminished sperm motility
what is testicular sperm aspiration? - ANS Sperm aspirated from testicles and then injected into
harvested eggs
what is testicular sperm aspiration used for? - ANS - unsuccessful vasectomy reversal, absence of vas
deferens, low sperm count
what is IVF? - ANS procedure in which oocytes are harvested and fertilization occurs outside the
female body in a lab
What is zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT)? - ANS zygote is placed into the fallopian tube and IVF is
used
What is gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT)? - ANS sperm and oocyte are mixed outside the
woman's body and then placed into the fallopian tube, fertilization takes place inside the fallopian
tube
what is GIFT used for? - ANS -history of failed infertility treatment
-unexplained infertility
-low sperm count
What is embryo transfer? - ANS through IVF an embryo is placed in the uterine cavity via catheter,
used when fallopian tubes are blocked
what are risk factors for infertility in women? - ANS -diabetes
, -autoimmune disease
-eating disorders
-alcohol
-STIs
-excessive exercising
-older age
-cancer
-obesity
what are risk factors for infertility in men? - ANS -environmental pollutants
-alcohol
-smoking
-cocaine use
-older age
-STIs
-smoking
genotype - ANS a person's genetic makeup
phenotype - ANS ways in which genes are outwardly expressed (eye color, hair color)
what is carrier testing? - ANS used to identify individuals who carry one copy of a gene mutation
when there is a family history of a genetic disorder
what is preimplantation testing? - ANS used to detect genetic issues in embryos that were created
using assistive reproductive technology
what is prenatal testing? - ANS allows for the early detection of genetic disorders such as trisomy 21,
hemophilia, and tay-sachs disease
what is newborn screening? - ANS used to detect genetic disorders that can be treated early in life
