    Study Notes

    Gestation

    • Time spent in prenatal development, split into trimesters.
    • First trimester: Includes pre-embryonic and early fetal development. Rudiments of all major organ systems begin to form.
    • Second trimester: Focused on development of organs and organ systems. Body shape and proportions change significantly.
    • Third trimester: Rapid fetal growth and deposition of adipose tissue occur. Most major organ systems become fully functional.

    Fertilization

    • The process begins with ovulation, where a secondary oocyte and a first polar body are released.
    • The oocyte is surrounded by the corona radiata and is suspended in metaphase II of meiosis.
    • Fertilization occurs when a single sperm makes contact with the oocyte membrane.
    • This triggers oocyte activation and the completion of meiosis.

    Gestation - First trimester

    • Four crucial processes occur during the first trimester:
      • Cleavage: The zygote undergoes repeated divisions, increasing the number of cells.
      • Implantation: The blastocyst attaches to the uterine lining, beginning around 7-10 days after fertilization.
      • Placentation: Blood vessels form around the periphery of the blastocyst, leading to the development of the placenta.
      • Embryogenesis: The formation of a viable embryo takes place, establishing the foundation for major organ systems.

    Implantation

    • Occurs approximately 7-10 days after fertilization.
    • The blastocyst adheres to the uterine lining.
    • Trophoblast cells divide quickly, creating layers that contribute to the placenta.

    Placentation and Embryogenesis

    • Placentation: The process of forming the placenta, enabling exchange between maternal and fetal blood.
    • Embryogenesis: The formation of the embryo, establishing the foundations for all major organ systems.

    Gestation - Second and Third trimester

    • Second trimester: Fetal growth surpasses the growth of the placenta.
    • Third trimester: Most organ systems become functional without maternal assistance.
    • Growth slows during the third trimester, but significant weight gain occurs.
    • The fetus and enlarged uterus displace many of the mother's abdominal organs.

    Maternal Changes

    • The fetus relies entirely on maternal organs.
    • Maternal changes include increases in:
      • Respiratory Rate
      • Tidal volume
      • Blood volume
      • Nutrient and vitamin intake
      • Kidney filtration rate.
