possible pregnancies
What are the numbers representing in the parity numeric system? -
ANSWER>>>>>1. Full term pregnancies
2. Premature births and stillborns
3. Miscarriages or termination
4. Living children
What is the standard way to date a pregnancy? - ANSWER>>>>>LMP

gestation until term.
What is Nagele's rule? - ANSWER>>>>>EDD (Estimated Due Date) = 3
months from LMP + 7 days
What fetal biometry is used in the estimate in fetal weight? -
ANSWER>>>>>AC (Abdominal Circumference)
What is conceptual age also known as? - ANSWER>>>>>Embryonic age
What is conceptual age? - ANSWER>>>>>With conception as the first
day of pregnancy
What is gestational age? - ANSWER>>>>>Considers the first day of the
last menstrual period as the beginning of gestation
What is gestational age also known as? - ANSWER>>>>>Menstrual age
What is the conceptus called during the implantation process? -
ANSWER>>>>>A zygote
What is the zygote called from the implantation to 10 weeks? -
ANSWER>>>>>An embryo
What is the embryo called after the 10 weeks? - ANSWER>>>>>A fetus
What is the cell division process of a zygote? - ANSWER>>>>>1.Rapid
cellular division forms the 16-cell morula
2.Further division brings the morula to the blastocyst stage
3.The blastocyst contains trophoblastic calls.
,4.The trophoblastic cells begin to secrete hCG
True or False
hCG levels plateau and decline while normal gestation continues. -
ANSWER>>>>>True
Increased hCG levels can be used s a screening marker for Down
syndrome during the first and second trimester.
What does the anechoic center is the first trimester represent? -
ANSWER>>>>>Chorionic cavity

ANSWER>>>>>The secondary yolk sac
What are the functions of the secondary yolk sac? - ANSWER>>>>>1.
Provision of nutrients to the embryo
2. Hematopoiesis (the formation of blood or of blood cells)
3. Development of the embryonic endoderm
What should a talk sac NOT exceed? - ANSWER>>>>>6mm
*Enlarged yolk sacs may have threatening outcomes
True or False
The number of yolk sacs are not consistent with the number of amnion
membranes - ANSWER>>>>>False
It is very consistent with the number amnion membranes
When is the yolk sac reabsorbed and never seen again? -
ANSWER>>>>>12 weeks
Define chorioamniotic fusion - ANSWER>>>>>Fusion of the membranes
When does chorioamniotic fusion occur? - ANSWER>>>>>14-15 weeks
, What creates the yolk stalk? - ANSWER>>>>>Narrowing between the
embryo and the yolk sac
The dorsal portion of the yolk sac is incorporated into the embryo and
gives rise to what structures? - ANSWER>>>>>-Foregut, midgut, and
hindgut
