Study Notes
DNA, Genes, and Chromosomes
- DNA is a double helix structure.
- Chromosomes are long strings of DNA.
- Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total).
- Chromosomes are made up of 4 parts: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
- Males have XY chromosomes, females have XX chromosomes.
Pregnancy Complications
- Pregnancy-related hypertension (pre-eclampsia) can impact a pregnant woman's health.
- Several factors influence pregnancy complications, including pre-existing conditions, age, lifestyle, and current pregnancy issues.
- Complications may impact the developing fetus.
- Monitoring and management of complications during pregnancy are crucial.
Gestational Trophoblastic Disease
- Gestational trophoblastic disease is a condition where abnormal cells grow in the uterus during pregnancy.
- It's a type of abnormal uterine growth during pregnancy.
Ovulation and Fertilization
- Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary.
- The nearest day of ovulation is important in determining conception.
- Factors like foreplay time, position during sex can alter conception prospects.
Prenatal Conditions and Health
- Pre-existing health conditions can impact pregnancy.
- Lifestyle choices also affect pregnancy's health outcome.
- Age plays a role in the likelihood of pregnancy complications.
Monitoring Pregnancy
- HCG levels can be measured throughout pregnancy.
- HCG levels may differ between the first and last trimesters.
- Changes in HCG levels could signal various conditions.
Pregnancy Hypertension
- Conditions like pregnancy-induced hypertension could impact the mother's well-being.
- Various factors contribute to the potential for this condition.
