STAGES OF PRENATAL DEVELOPMENT Preembryonic stage - first 2
weeks. Products of conception are called as conceptus.
Embryonic stage - from the third week until the end of the eight week. From this period conceptus is called embryo.
Fetal period starts from the beginning of the ninth week through the full 41 weeks of development. Products of conception are called as fetus.

Preembryonic Stage fertilization zygote formation division of fertilized ovum morula formatiom formation of free blastocyst implantation of the ovum in
the uterine wall Primitive chorionic villi
formation Initial folding into layers –
gastrulation beginning.
Chorion and amnion begin to form during this period also.

Formation of free blastocyst
Morula
From outer layer - trophoblast
From inner layer - embryoblast

Implantation- attachment of the blastocyst on the 7th day into uterine wall
called implantation.

EMBRYONIC STAGE Formation of supportive structures - include the placenta, umbilical
cord, and certain extraembryonic membranes. The yolk sac forms early and manufactures blood cells until the liver
takes over at 6 week. The allantois forms the part of the yolk sac; it produces blood cells and
eventually forms the umbilical arteries and veins. During the third week the primitive streak appears, and then, other
rudiments of organs form, including the central nervous system, notochord, neural tube, heart, limbs, finger, toes, eyes, ears, and nose.

Placenta at section
Fetal and maternal parts.
Cotyledon –
is a small
compound of placenta.
![Page 26: Physiology of pregnancy. The perinatal care of the fetus. Prepared by N. Bahniy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52aa8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Placental villi
At term, the placenta contains approximately 12 m2 of villous surface area for maternofetal exchange.
![Page 27: Physiology of pregnancy. The perinatal care of the fetus. Prepared by N. Bahniy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52aa8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Placental functions
Endocrine Transfer of nutrients Excretory - removal
of the products of fetal catabolism
Barrier Oxygen-transport
![Page 28: Physiology of pregnancy. The perinatal care of the fetus. Prepared by N. Bahniy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52aa8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Placental hormones1. Protein hormones of the placenta: chorionic gonadotropin (cHG)– it is maintain the function of the corpus
luteum during early gestation, promote uterine vascular vasodilation and myometrial smooth muscle relaxation, relaxin secretion by the corpus luteum, stimulate thyroid activity, and some more basic forms also stimulate iodine uptake
human lactogen – its actions include lipolisis and an increase in the levels of circulating free fatty acids, thus providing a source of energy for maternal metabolism and fetal nutrition
2. Steroid hormones of the placenta: estrogens; progesterone.3. Chorionic adrenocorticotropin and thyrotropin, growth hormone
variant, parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-rP), calcitonin, and relaxin – no significant role has been established for this substance in normal human pregnancy.
4. Hypothalamic-like-releasing hormones of the placenta
![Page 29: Physiology of pregnancy. The perinatal care of the fetus. Prepared by N. Bahniy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52aa8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Type of human placentation - hemochorioendothelial
![Page 30: Physiology of pregnancy. The perinatal care of the fetus. Prepared by N. Bahniy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52aa8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Role of Estrogen in Pregnancy:
Increasing blood flow to the uterus by promoting vasodilation.
Changing the sensitivity of the respiratory system to carbon dioxide.
Softening of the cervix, initiating uterine activity, and maintaining labor.
Developing the breasts in preparation for lactation and secretion of prolactin by the pituitary gland.
![Page 31: Physiology of pregnancy. The perinatal care of the fetus. Prepared by N. Bahniy.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d705503460f94a52aa8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Role of Progesterone in Pregnancy:
Ready the uterus for implantation. Relaxes smooth muscle to prevent
spontaneous abortion. Works to prevent a maternal immunologic
response to the fetus. Relaxes smooth muscle
– to decrease motility & improve absorption of nutrients.
– Enlarges the ureters & bladder to increase capacity.
Plays a role in development of the alveoli & ductal system to prepare for lactation.
