ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY FOR MIDWIFERY
QUESTIONS AND DETAILED ANSWERS|ALREADY GRADED
A
neonate Correct Ans- newborn baby
homeostatic systems. Correct Ans- use behavior to keep things balanced
spermatogenesis Correct Ans- the production of sperm cells
gamate formation Correct Ans- males: each haploid cell produced from
meiosis will form a sperm cell
female: usually only one out of the four haploid cells will form into a
female egg cell. The cytoplasm usually gets distributed unevenly
haploid cell Correct Ans- A cell containing only one set of chromosomes
(n).
Meiosis Correct Ans- Cell division that produces reproductive cells in
sexually reproducing organisms
Oogenesis Correct Ans- the production, growth, and maturation of an
egg, or ovum
,endometrium, myometrium, perimetrium Correct Ans- What are the 3
layers of the uterus?
Aetiology Correct Ans- the cause, set of causes, or manner of causation
of a disease or condition
assisted reproductive technologies (ART) Correct Ans- methods for
overcoming infertility that include intrauterine insemination, fertility
drugs, and IVF
Parurition Correct Ans- act of giving birth
puerperium. Correct Ans- period from delivery until the reproductive
organs return to normal
AII (angiotensin II) Correct Ans- increases blood pressure by
stimulating kidneys to reabsorb more water and by releasing aldosterone
AA arachidonic acid (or ARA) Correct Ans- an omega-6
polyunsaturated fatty acid with 20 carbons and four double bonds;
present in small amounts in meat and other animal products and
synthesized in the body from linoleic acid.
linolec acid Correct Ans- Omega 6 and essential fatty acid used to make
important hormones
, array comparative genomic hybridization Correct Ans- is a microarray-
based technique to detect alterations in Genomic DNA sequence. Array
CGH is widely used for clinical research into constitutional
cytogenetics, rare disease, cancer and reproductive health.
androgen-binding protein (ABP) Correct Ans- Binds to testosterone
(surrounds) to make water soluble. Increases concentration within
seminiferous tubules.
adrenocorticotrophic hormone Correct Ans- usually referred to as ACTH
and secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland; stimulates the
adrenal cortex to produce its characteristic hormones
Alzheimer's disease (AD) Correct Ans- A progressive disease that
destroys the brain's neurons, gradually impairing memory, thinking,
language, and other cognitive functions, resulting in the complete
inability to care for oneself; the most common cause of dementia.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, vasopressin) Correct Ans- Posterior
pituitary; peptide; causes the kidney to retain water
peptide Correct Ans- Short chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds
AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) Correct Ans- test measured at 16-18 weeks
gestation if serum increased indicates neural tube defects.
