EXAM
The first stage, dilation of the cervix, is the time it takes for the mother's cervix
to dilate to ten centimeters. During this stage the uterus contracts, which pushes
the baby's head against the cervix causing it to dilate (widen). This stage of
labor is the longest, lasting, on average 6-10 hours. Oxytocin is a hormone that
is released from the posterior pituitary gland to stimulate contractions in the
myometrium of the uterus. As contractions continue, oxytocin is increasingly
released until the baby is born.
During which trimester does the Lanugo develops
2nd trimester
During which trimester is first fetal movements felt
2nd trimester
During which trimester is Neurulation
1st trimester
During which trimester do the testes descend to scrotum
3rd trimester
All the following are functions of the ovaries EXCEPT:
Maintaining the development of a fetus
, Which of the following statements is true concerning oogenesis?
The primary oocyte divides to produce a secondary oocyte.
Ovulation occurs when an egg is released from the ______________ .
Ovarian follicle
Fimbriae (infundibulum)
This layer of the uterus contracts during labor.
Myometrium
Which of the following statements is false concerning the vagina?
The fundus is made of elastic fibers, blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves.
Describe the purpose of the cervix prior to ovulation.
Just prior to ovulation, the cervix swells, softens and secretes mucus
allowing sperm better access to and viability within the uterus.
A: Prepuce
B: Urethral orifice
C: Vestibule
True or False: Each mammary gland contains 12- 24 lobules.
True
