Placenta

Cuban American Sunny bright clear beaches with white soft sand, that is what comes to my head when I remember about Cuba Placentas, and when I think about Miami in the United States. I was born in Cuba but I move to Miami when I was 8 years old. I can’t tell you there has been some major changes in my life but I still keep my background. This experience for me has may me see how different is Cuba from America, yet at the same time I have seen similarities. I can say I have more experience in…

Ethics Behind Embryonic Research Roger Wicker, the representative of Mississippi in the U.S. Senate, said, “The choice is not between conducting the stem cell research or not conducting it. That is not the choice”. The ethical and moral debate surrounding stem cell research is not the research itself; it is how these stem cells are acquired. There is little doubt within the scientific community that stem cell research will result in many medical breakthroughs, much like the discovery of…

this is the start of pregnancy. Fertilisation occurs when the sperm cell enters the uterus and moves towards the egg tube. The first trimester which is between 0-12 weeks, occurs at the embryonic stage. On week 3, women will miss their period, the placenta is formed and it will “act as the liver, lungs and kidneys for the embryo and the foetus” Squire (2007) and the amnion sac is also formed where it floats in a liquid called the amniotic fluid around the embryo. An amniotic sac contains and…

Stepheny Saavedra Anthropology 340 Dec. 1, 2016 “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down” is one of the many cases that exemplify the barriers and obstacles people from distinct cultures encounter due to their ethnocentrism and lack of cultural relativism. After escaping to the U.S., a place completely different from what they called home, the Lees had to adapt and place their trust on strangers (to save their daughter) who viewed a condition with spiritual origin to the Hmong as a…

For this paper I will be arguing my views and opinions about abortion. Abortion is one thing I am strongly against. It is taking a baby’s life that doesn’t even get a say in if they live or not. Nobody should be able to have an abortion, if they don’t want the kid then they should just put it up for adoption or take the certain measures to make sure they don’t get pregnant in the first place. There are a lot of factors that go with abortion. Not all women that are pregnant and don’t want the…

Zika will show an array of non-emergent symptoms. Hallmark symptoms of this virus are: A mild fever, headache, conjunctivitis, rash, and joint pain (Gourinat, et al., 2014). In pregnant women the symptoms can become sever when they spread, via the placenta, to the fetsu. An infected fetus can be born with many birth defects. These defects range from autoimmune disorders, fetal microcephaly, and death (Fernandez Turienzo, 2016).…

There is no clear predetermined linkage between a specific subtype and a unique mode of transmission. Therefore, different subtypes could have been influenced by a combination of different genetic, demographic, economic and social factors that separate the different risk groups for HIV-1. HIV is not an airborne virus and cannot be transmitted through casual contact, kissing, urine or even insect vectors [17]. The transmission is only possible if bodily fluids come in contact with a mucous…

Adolescent mothers, or mothers who give birth and raise a child while being a teenager, have triple the regular amount of stress.

The term Siamese twins is used on individuals that are of a single gestation . Those twins whose bodies are still conjoined after birth. This tends to occur in one of every 200,000 births, 50% of the cases are born dead and 75% belong to the female gender . The percentage of survival in Siamese twins ranges between 5% and 25%. The origin is not yet well defined, but it is thought that Siamese twins are the result of an aberration in the process of the formation of monozygotic twins, i.e. twins…

in starts at 8 inches. By 10 cm you are fully dilated and may have the feeling to push. This happens in the second stage of labor. When the widest part of the baby’s head is visible your baby is crowning. In the third and final stage of labor your placenta detaches and is expelled.
