Questions and Answers

What is hydatidiform mole?

  • A condition where the embryo develops outside the uterus
  • A condition where the trophoblast develops and forms placental membranes without embryonic tissue (correct)
  • A condition where the placenta is implanted too low in the uterus, causing bleeding
  • A condition where the trophoblast develops abnormally, leading to multiple embryos
  • When can hG be detected and what is it used for?

  • It can be detected at the end of the 2nd week and is used for pregnancy testing (correct)
  • It can be detected at the end of the 1st week and is used for pregnancy testing
  • It can be detected at the end of the 3rd week and is used for fetal development monitoring
  • It can be detected at the end of the 4th week and is used for predicting the gender of the baby
  • What is placenta previa and what are its consequences?

  • It is a condition where the embryo develops outside the uterus, causing life-threatening bleeding
  • It is a condition where the placenta is implanted too low in the uterus, causing bleeding (correct)
  • It is a condition where the embryo fails to implant, leading to miscarriage
  • It is a condition where the trophoblast develops abnormally, leading to multiple embryos
  • Study Notes

    • Days 9-10: formation of multinucleated trophoblastic mass, extroembryonic mesoderm, connection stalk, filling of lacunar spaces with maternal blood.
    • Day 13-14: continued development.
    • Abnormal implantation can cause placenta previa and life-threatening bleeding.
    • Ectopic pregnancy occurs when implantation happens outside the uterus, typically in the uterine tube.
    • Hydatidiform mole is a condition where the trophoblast develops and forms placental membranes without embryonic tissue.
    • hG can be detected at the end of the 2nd week and is used for pregnancy testing.
    • Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the uterine tube, with the embryo typically dying around the 2nd month of gestation.
    • Placenta previa can cause severe bleeding in the 2nd part of pregnancy.
    • Hydatidiform mole involves abnormal development of the trophoblast.
    • Continued development occurs throughout the described period.
