riod
2. Approximately 30mL
_______ of
amniotic fluid is
forced out of the
lungs in the
delivery process.
3. Ductus venous Clamping of the cord causes constriction of the vessels
and closure of the ductus venous immediately.
- closes by the 3rd day of life
4. Foramen ovale opening between the right atrium and the left atrium
- closes when the left atrial pressure is higher than the
right atrial pressure
5. Ductus arterio- connects the pulmonary artery with the descending aorta

7. Apgar scoring Taken at 1 and 5 minutes after birth
8. Neutral ther- An environment that maintains body temperature with min-
mal environment imal metabolic changes and /or oxygen consumption.
[NTE]
9. Factors that Decreased subcutaneous fat

fect thermoregu- Large body surface
lation Loss of heat from convection, radiation, conduction,
and/or evaporation
10. Brown fat Located in the neck, thorax, axilla, scapular areas, around
/ Non-shivering adrenal glands and kidneys. It increases metabolism, heat
thermogenesis production once used it is not replenished. Neonates are
at higher risk of thermoregulatory issues because of high-
er body surface area to body mass ratio, higher metabolic
rates, and immature thermoregulatory abilities.
11. Evaporation Loss of heat through conversion of liquid to vapor
Directly after birth or bathing
12. Convection
