| | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
increases 60-80% |
,Placental transport of oxygen and glucose - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Transported
| | | | | | | | |
across the placenta via facilitated diffusion
| | | | |
Amniotic fluid production - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Produced by the amniotic
| | | | | | | | |
epithelium; water transfers across the amnion and through the fetal skin
| | | | | | | | | |
-in the 2nd trimester, the fetus starts to swallow, urinate, and inspire amniotic

| | | | | | | | | | |
during extension |
Used to expedite the delivery of the fetal head when necessary
| | | | | | | | | |
It involves applying upward pressure from the coccygeal region to extend the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
head during actual delivery, thereby protecting the musculature of the perineum.
| | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | |
and untreated
|
Active TB |
Illicit drug use
| |
Take prescribed chemotherapy agents
| | |

caused by reduced peripheral circulation.
| | | |
, Normal within first 24-48 hours after birth
| | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Anterior asynclitism - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-exists when the sagittal suture is
| | | | | | | | | |
closer to the sacrum and the anterior parietal bone is presenting first
| | | | | | | | | | |

genitourinary abnormalities in the fetus | | | |
Midplane Definition/Elements - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Ischial spines distance and
| | | | | | |
sacrum
|
Distance b/w the ischial spines normally measures 10 cm
| | | | | | | |
Smallest diameter of the pelvis
| | | |
Chorionic Villi - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The chorionic villi develop from the outer
| | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | |
endometrium and gives rise to the placenta | | | | | |
Blood in the chorionic villi pertains to the circulation of the fetus
| | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | |
deoxygenated blood to the placenta, smaller in diameter | | | | | | |
1 vein that carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus; characterized
