Ovarian Cycle
Associated with the maturation and release of an oocyte
Uterine Cycle
describes the regular, recurring changes in the uterine lining that conclude with bleeding
Average reproductive cycle
28 days
Day 1
Bleeding Begins, FSH, LH, estrogen at its lowest
Day 2 or 3
The hypothalamus produces and releases sufficient GnRH to stimulate pituitary gland to release FSH to initiate the new cycle
Pre-Ovulatory Period: Day 6-Day 13
Rising levels of FSH develop several primary follicles. Rising levels of estradiol exert positive feedback causing more production of GnRH which leads to more LH
Post ovulatory Period: Day 15-28
Rising levels of progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum exert negative feedback inhibiting GnRH.
Menstruation
from day 1 to day 5. sharp decline of estradiol and progesterone constrict the blood vessels that supply the endometrium which removes negative feedback
Amenorrhea
Absence of menstrual periods in post-pubescent women that aren't pregnant
Primary Amenorrhea
Failure to menstruate by age 18.
caused by chromosomal abnormalties or endocrine disorders
Secondary Amenorrhea
absence if menstrual periods for six months or more. May be caused by significant reduction in weight, pituatary ghlands or tumors that decrease FSH or LH
Mittelschmerz
pain in the abdomen at the time of ovulation
PreMenstrual Syndrome
Physiological, physical, and emotional symptoms that appear in a large number of women between 3 and 10 days prior to the start of menses
PMS treatment
low dose anti-depressants, calcium, aspirin or ibuprofen, changes in diet
Dysmenorrhea
pelvic pain and painful menstrual cramps during menstruation.
Dysmenorrhea Treatment
Ibuprofen or Aspirin
Toxic Shock Syndrome
Caused by Staph bacteria that invade the blood stream from the skin and produce deadly toxins
Symptoms of TSS
high fever, rash, peeling skin, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, and dangerous drops in blood pressure
Cause of Menopause
between 40-55 woman produce declining amounts of estrogen and progesterone. As she grows older her ovaries become less and less responsive to FSH and LH.
Effects of Menopause
Changes in hormonal levels cause: dizziness headaches insomnia anxiety or depression
Osteoporosis
Progressive loss of bone mass due to demineralization of bone tissue. which causes easy bone fractures.
Preventing Osteoporosis
Calcium and vitamins especially D, reduce alcohol and Stop Smoking
Hormone Replacement therapy
main risk is increase breast, uterine and ovarian cancers
Sexual Response Cycles
Excitement,Plateau, Orgasm, Resolution
Excitement (male)
Sexual Desire is controlled by the limbic system.
Plateau (male)
Sex Flush occurs, testes are drawn closer to the body and become larger, bulbourethral gland secretes mucus, emission of ejaculate, muscle tension
Orgasm (male)
release of muscle tension usually accompanied by discharge of semen. nerve signals to the prostate cause them to release fluid to the urethra
Resolution (male)
Starts immediately after orgasm, blood flow to penis is reduced
Excitement (female)
Limbic System, increased blood flow to vagina, vaginal sweating, mucus. Labia increases in size, clitoris becomes erect, nipples become erect
Plateau (female)
Sex Flush, uterus vertical
Cleavage
30-36 hours post implantation, the zygote divides by mitosis to form blastomeres. cell division occurs the next 72 hours and produce a solid ball of cells called a morula. at day 4-5 blastomeres produce a hollow ball of cells called blastocysts.
Cleavage: caviation
produces a fluid filled cavity called blastocoels
Cleavage: compaction
creates an outer layer of small cells called a trophoblast
Embryoblast
larger cells inside the trophoblast form an inner cell mass that eventually becomes the embryo
Implantation
Between day 6-8 fertilization the blastocyst makes contact with the wall of the uterus.
Once made contact with uterine wall, forms...
cytotrophoblast inner layer
Synctiotropblast outer layer
Ectopic Pregnancy
The blastocyst implants outside the uterus in 1/300 pregnancies.
Embryogenesis
9 days after fertilization, the embryoblast slightly separates from the trophoblast creating an amniotic cavity
Embryonic disc
when the embryoblasts flatten
12 days post fert. the embryonic disc elongats and..
a thick primitive streak forms along the midline containing the primitive groove
Primary germ layers are formed durign
Gastrulation
Gastrulation: Endoderm
Linings and glands of digestive tract, respiratory system,
Gastrualtion: Mesoderm
Muscle. bone, cartilage, blood
Gastrualtion: Ectoderm
skin, hair, nails, much of nervous system
Amnion
develops from the ectoderm and mesoderm and completely surrounds the embryo. produces amniotic fluid.
Yolk Sac
Develops from embryonic disc form a pouch that hangs below the embryo. produces first blood cells
Allantois
develops from the endoderm that forms a small pouch a the end of the yolk. forms foundation for umbilical cord
Chorion
develops from mesoderm that was produced from trophoblasts. Forms finger like projections chronic villi
Placentation
Placenta begins to form during the second week following fertilization. As chronic Villi grow they develop many new blood cells an become surrounded by spaces that will fill with maternal blood.
Sexually indifferent stage
the first 6 weeks of development is sexually bipotential. has a pair of wolffian ducts and mullerian ducts
Hox Genes
control embryonic cell differentiation. changes in retonic acid will produce changes. may affect face and head.
Medications that are bad
Thalidomine, Bendectin, asprin, accutane marijuana cocaine alcohol
Rubella Virus
affects 15-20% of born to women with german measels. need vaccnation
Amniocentesis
amniotic fluid tested
Chronic villus
remove small amount of tissue with catheter
Multiple serum tests
High HCG/low MAFSP/ low estriol = down
