How many days after conception can a pregnancy test detect a result?
7-10 days
1 of 69
Which hormone is found when detecting pregnancy?
Beta - human chorionic gonadotrophin (B-hCG)
2 of 69
What is amenorrhea ?
is the absence of menstruation — one or more missed menstrual periods.
3 of 69
What is micturition ?
Increased urination - The micturition reflex normally produces a series of contractions of the urinary bladder.
4 of 69
What is oedma ?
Excess fluid which causes swelling. During pregnancy the body makes approx 50% more blood & body fluids to meet the needs of a developing baby.
5 of 69
What is Corpus Luteum?
a hormone-secreting structure that develops in an ovary after an ovum has been discharged but degenerates after a few days unless pregnancy has begun.
6 of 69
What releases relaxin?
Corpus Luteum
7 of 69
What is Pica?
the practice of craving substances with little or no nutritional value. Most pregnancy and pica related cravings involve non-food substances such as dirt or chalk. The word pica is Latin for magpie which is a bird notorious for eating almost anything

10 of 69
At what pH is the fluid secreted to keep the vagina moist?
3.8-4.5
11 of 69
What protects the vagina from infections?
Lactic acid - formed from commensals feeding on glycogen.
12 of 69
Which hormone is predominantly the lowest at the beginning of the menstrual cycle?
oestrogen
13 of 69
In response to low levels of oestrogen and progesterone what happens?
The hypothalamus produces GnRH
14 of 69
What is GnRH?
Gonadatrophin releasing hormone
15 of 69
What do rising levels of GnRH stimulate?
The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland secretes FSH
16 of 69
What is FSH?
Follicle Stimulating Hormone
17 of 69
Where is the pituitary gland located?
In the brain - between the hypothalamus and the pineal gland
18 of 69
Which 2 hormones are involved follicle growth?
FSH and Oestrogen
19 of 69
As the follicle grows which hormone is secreted ?
Oestrogen
20 of 69
How many follicles will become dominant & reach maturity?
1
21 of 69
Which hormone is inhibited once oestrogen levels become too high ?
FSH
22 of 69
Why is FSH inhibited ?
Because as the follicle gets bigger more oestrogen is secreted, therefore once fully grown there is no need for FSH
23 of 69
Which hormone is there a sudden surge in after FSH has been inhibited?
LH-lutenising hormone
24 of 69
What does the sudden surge in LH do ?
Allows the graafian follicle to rupture to release the ova into the fallopian tubes
25 of 69
What happens to cells once the graafian follicle ruptures?
They proliferate to form the corpus luteum
26 of 69
Which hormones does the corpus luteum produces?
Oestrogen and Progesterone
27 of 69
WHich hormone suppresses growth of new follicles?
Progesterone
28 of 69
If fertilatision doesnt occur, what happens to the corpus luteum?
It degenerates - breaks down
29 of 69
What occurs between day 1-5?
Menstrual Phase
30 of 69
What occurs between dat 1-13?
Follicular phase
31 of 69
What occurs around day 14?
Ovulation
32 of 69
What occurs between 15-28 days?
Luteal Phase
33 of 69
What hormones affect the endometrium?
Varying levels of oestrogen and progesterone
34 of 69
What is the endometrium composed of and what does it do?
The basal layer which produces cells that give a thick temporary functional layer.
35 of 69
What does the thickened vascular endometrium provide?
Nourishment for the fertilised ova or sheds as the menstrual flow.
36 of 69
How many stages does the endometrium have?
3
37 of 69
What happens during the first stage (menstruation) ?
The endometrium sheds to its basal layer. Spiral arteries of endometrium go into spasm leading to blood loss.
38 of 69
What is the average blood loss during the menstrual cycle ?
50-150mls
39 of 69
What happens during the second stage (proliferation) ?
The endometrium thickens due to oestrogen from the Graafian Follicle
40 of 69
What happens during the third stage (secretion) ?
The lining becomes vascular due to the release of oestrogen and progesterone. These are the optimal conditions for a fertilised ova to embed.
41 of 69
What is oogenesis?
The process by which mature ova are formed
42 of 69
When does oogenesis occur?
Before birth
43 of 69
Which cells migrate from the yolk sac and where do they go to?
Primordial germline cells migrate to the ovaries
44 of 69
What do the primordial germline cells develop into?
Oogonia
45 of 69
What do Oogonia contain?
46 chromosomes / 23 homologous pairs
46 of 69
What happens to the oogonia during the 3rd month of fetal life?
They divide by mitosis to form larger primary oocytes containing 46 chromosomes.
47 of 69
What happens to the oocytes after 5 months of fetal life?
They begin the stages of reduction division of meiosis
48 of 69
What forms a primordial follicle?
The primary oocytes being surrounded by a single layer of cells
49 of 69
What happens to the primordial follicles from puberty?
Several of the follicles respond to FSH by enlarging and maturing
50 of 69
What happens to the non dominant cells during each cycle?
They degenerate
51 of 69
What is involution?
The process by which the uterus returns to its normal size, tone and position
52 of 69
What is Ischaemia?
An inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body
53 of 69
What is autolysis?
The destruction of cells or tissues by their own enzymes, espcially those released by lysosomes.
54 of 69
What is phagocytosis?
The ingestion of bacteria
55 of 69
Where should the uterus be 5-1- days after birth?
Below the umbilicus
56 of 69
Where should the uterus be 2 days after birth?
At the umbilicus
57 of 69
Which type of pregnant women take longer for their uterus to return to normal - multips or primips?
Multips
58 of 69
What do the enzymes of autolysis digest?
The excess uterine muscle fibres that are increased in pregnancy
59 of 69
What happens to the waste products of autolysis?
They pass into the bloodstream and are excreted in the urine.
60 of 69
What happens to the decidua?
It is shed as lochia which is made up of blood clots, tissues and leucocytes
61 of 69
Once debris is removed by autolysis what remains so that the uterus never completely regains pre-pregnany state?
Fibrous and elastic tissue
62 of 69
What are the 2 proteins involved in blood clotting?
Thromboplastic and Fibrin
63 of 69
What may effect the position of the uterus?
A full bladder
64 of 69
What is Lochia Rubra?
Red liquid containing blood, decidua, lanugo, vernix, shreds of chrion and amnion
65 of 69
What is Lochia Serosa?
Pink/Brown liquid containing decidua, altered blood andserum, mucous and leucocytes
66 of 69
What is Lochia Alba?
White/yellow discharge containing mucous, leucocytes and organisms
67 of 69
What must the maternal observations be at for there to be concern?
Temp - above 37.5, Pulse above 80 and BP above 120/80
68 of 69
Once the placenta is delivered, what happens to the placental hormones?
They fall
