    Study Notes

    • Mitosis is a process where cells divide to create two identical daughter cells, each with 46 duplicated chromosomes. This process is essential for growth, repair of wounds, and tumor formation.
    • Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and ova) with half the number of chromosomes (23) necessary for sexual reproduction.
    • Fertilization typically occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tube around day 14 of the menstrual cycle, resulting in the formation of a zygote with 46 chromosomes.
    • Implantation is when the blastocyst embeds into the endometrium, leading to the development of structures like the placenta and amnion important for fetal growth and oxygen supply.
    • During pregnancy, placental hormones like progesterone, estrogen, HCG, HPL, and inhibin A play crucial roles in maintaining the pregnancy, facilitating fetal development, and preparing the mother's body for childbirth.
    • Fetal circulation involves the transfer of oxygen and nutrients between the mother and fetus through the placenta and umbilical cord.
    • Signs of pregnancy can be presumptive (e.g., missed period, nausea) or probable (e.g., positive pregnancy test, uterine enlargement), with positive signs confirmed by visualization of the fetus, fetal heartbeat, or movement.
    • Prenatal care includes various tests and screenings such as genetic background checks, nuchal translucency tests, maternal serum screenings, and procedures like chorionic villus sampling to monitor the health of both the mother and fetus.
