three types of prenatal ultrasound, amniocentesis, and chorionic villus
diagnostic tests sampling (CVA)

prenatal diagnostic technique that uses high
ultrasound
frequency sounds to create an image of the baby

Prenatal diagnostic technique involving needle
puncture of the amniotic sac to withdraw amniotic
amniocentesis
fluid for analysis; looks for chromosomal and genetic
abnormalities

Prenatal diagnostic technique in which a small sample
chorionic villus sampling of the fetal portion of the placenta is removed for
(CVS) analysis to detect certain genetic and congenital
defects in the fetus.

what are the three types passive, evocative, and active
of genetic-environment
interactions?

passive genotype- parents provide genetic disposition and nurturing
environment interaction context to foster certain qualities

parents provide genetic predisposition for a child to
evocative genotype-
evoke certain reactions in others that will influence
environment interaction
their development

parents provide genetic predisposition that results in
active genotype-
a child actively seeking out environmental conditions
environment interaction
that foster development of certain qualities

three periods of neonatal germinal, embryonic, and fetal
development

week 0-2
germinal period
zygote created, attaches to uterus wall

, week 2-8
embryonic period layers of cells form that later develop into organs and
systems

month 2-9
fetal period
major growth and development

agents that interfere with natural growth and produce
teratogens
a birth defect

which three variables - gestational age
determine a teratogen's - amount of teratogen
effect? - susceptibility

When does Around week 3 through week 8
organogenesis begin?

stress causes blood to be directed away from fetus
why is stress a teratogen? and towards mother's brain, limbs, heart. Cortisol can
cross placenta and increase fetal HR

why is cognitive brain develops all throughout pregnancy
development more
susceptible?

- early & active labor
what are the three phases
- delivery of baby
of childbirth?
- delivery of the placenta

- longest stage
- starts at onset of true labor
early labor and active - ends when cervix completely dilated
labor - 30-45 sec contractions w 5-30 min between
- 45-60 sec contractions w 3-5 min between
- amniotic sac may rupture

- begins when cervix dilated
delivery of baby
- 20 min-2 hrs

- 5-10 min
delivery of placenta - contractions again
- placenta separates from uterine wall

, three drugs used in analgesia, anesthesia, oxytocics
childbirth

drugs that relieve pain; includes narcotics,
Analgesia vs Anesthesia
tranquilizers, and barbiturates

anesthesia drugs that blocks pain, can be general or epidural

oxytocics drugs that stimulate contractions and induce labor

postpartum biological involution, sleep adjustments, physical healing
adjustments

postpartum psychological coordinating schedules, readjusting social
adjustments relationships, bonding with baby

pro: can observe natural behavior
pros and cons of
naturalistic observation
con: can only study what you can see

pro: rich and detailed info, especially in a rare case
pros and cons of case
study
con: may not be applicable to other cases

pro: a lot of info, large sample, easy
pros and cons of surveys
con: self-reporting

pro: investigate relationships
pros and cons of
correlational study
con: correlation does not equal causation

pro: can determine causation
pros and cons of
experiment
con: Hawthorne effect

what information can you position, gender, age, brain defects
get from an US?

pro: noninvasive
pros and cons of
ultrasound con: imaging only, 5 or more associated with lower
birth weight
