In the days after conception, the fertilized egg begins to form a mass of cells called a blastocyst. It is from this mass of cells that all of the human body originates from. The nuclei of all of the cells in the blastocyst contain genes that turn some cells into bone cells and others into skin cells. The cells found in the inner mass of the blastocyst are called embryonic stem cells and have the potential to differentiate into almost all other cells in the body; the pluripotency of these cells…

The overall purpose of the Stages of Embryonic Development of Zebrafish experiment was to provide in-depth documentation on the different stages that a zebrafish undergoes throughout its growth as an embryo. The main idea of the article is to propose the embryonic development of zebrafish in an efficient and intuitive manner known as stages. In this case Kimmel et al didn’t look to resolve any questions, but sought to improve the current portrayal of the zebrafish embryonic development. In the…

Another reason, by 22 weeks the baby is technically able to live outside the womb. The baby will struggle if born at 20 weeks because he/she isn’t ready to live outside of the womb yet. But 9 out of 10 of the babies born at 20 weeks survive. At 24 weeks all of the baby’s organs are fully developed. By 18 weeks he or she can hear the mother’s heartbeat and sounds outside of the body. How could someone kill a fully developed baby, let alone one at all? However, there are many different procedures…

Uterine contractions mark the beginning of the first stage and cause the cervix to become effaced and dilated, or thinned and widened to enable the baby to pass through the birth canal. In order for the baby to pass through the birth canal, the cervix needs to be widened to approximately 10 centimeters. The first uterine contractions are not very painful and typically occur every…

Melinda is a 21yo G1 P0 who was seen for a follow-up assessment. She has been followed for fetal IUGR and the presence of a small fetal stomach. She overall has no obstetrical complaints and has positive fetal movement. She also underwent noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) that returned low-risk male. On today’s evaluation, she is 29 2/7 weeks by dates and the fetal measurements lag by about 2 weeks with an EFW at the 5%ile by the Hadlock scale. In looking at the individual parameters,…

Prenatal stress is important to study, due to research findings that suggest stress levels are associated with negative consequences in fetal and infant development. (1) The relationship between exposure to prenatal stress with increased reactivity to stress and cognitive problems in adulthood, indicating that the stress can effect on person at different periods of life.(3,4p+ nature) Stress has high prevalence during pregnancy .(2) When a person is exposed to stressful events , the brain…
