Down: 2) an abnormal implantation of the placenta near to or covering the cervical opening3) the shortening of the vaginal part of the cervix and the thinning of its walls during labor. It is expressed as a percent.4) any substance or agent that interferes with normal fetal development and causes one or more developmental abnormalities in the fetus.6) refers to the expansion of the cervix in preparation for delivery. It is measured from 1 to 10 cms7) soft, downy hair that covers the normal fetus from approx. the 5th gestational month until term,(at which point it is nearly gone).8) a combination of lipoproteins found in mature alveoli that reduces the surface tension of pulmonary fluids.14) this a delivery that occurs under non-aseptic conditions. It usually follows a rapid labor and may occur before reaching the delivery room15) the use of a high intensity light passing through body tissues for the purpose of examining a strucutre interposed between the observer and the light source.17) a condition in the newborn, characterized by a cyanotic discoloration of the hands and feet.20) the premature separation of the normally implanted placenta from the uterine wall in a pregnancy of 20 weeks or more, occuring before the delivery of the fetus. It may lead to neonatal and maternal shock. An emergency c-section is needed.22) a protein normally synthesized by the liver, yolk sac and GI tract of the fetus. Elevated levels of AFB in the amniotic fluid help to diagnose neural tube defects such as spina bifida.26) the act of giving birth29) a women who has had more than one pregnancy31) an abnormal condition occurring during pregnancy in which the maternal blood pressure elevates after week 24 of gestation. Hypertension is accompanied by proteinuria and edema.33) rupture of membranes38) the number of live births Across: 1) this refers to a woman who has produced one infant of 500 grams or 20 weeks gestation, regardless of wheter or not the infant is alive or dead5) the umbilical cord is pushed by the amniotic fluid through the cervix.When the infant begins to descend, the head compresses the cord.9) severe hypoxia, which leads to hypoxemia, hypercapnia,acidosis and eventual death if not corrected10) prolonged rupture of membranes11) a type of sphingolipid found in steady quantities in amniotic fluid. Compared with the concentration of lecithin, it is part of the determination of lung maturation during L/S RATIO test.12) abnormal fetal delivery in which the fetus emerges feet, knees or buttocks first13) a type of fat found in newborns. Due to its unique thermogenic activity, it is a unique source of heat energy for the newborn.16) ridges or folds of skin found in the stomach and on mature male scrotum18) the vascular channel that connects the pulmonary artery to the descending aorta in fetal circulation.19) the fixation of the presenting part of the fetus in the maternal pelvis.21) an opening in the septum separating the atria of the heart. It is found in fetal circulation.23) the level of the biparietal plane of the fetal head in relation to the level of the ischial spines on the maternal pelvis, measured in negative cms above the spines and positive cms below the spines24) the number of pregnancies25) the transfer of heat from a warm object in direct contact with a cooler object27) a sunken anterior abdominal wall28) a procedure in which a small amount of amniotic fluid is removed from the uterus. The needle used to extract the fluid is guided by ultrasound to locate a suitable pocket of fluid. The amniotic fluid is then analyzed for numerous fetal genetic defects and for fetal maturity.30) the transfer of heat from a warm object, to cooler air circulating over or around the object.32) this is composed of maternal serum and fetal urine. It is normally approx. 1000ml at birth. It allows for fetal movement, protection from trauma, and temperature control.34) uterine relaxation resulting in a postponement of labor35) a thick, dark green, sticky material which collects in the intestines of the fetus and becomes the material expelled during the first bowel movements. It is comprised of intestinal secretions, epithelial cells, amniotic fluid, and intrauterine debris.36) the vascular channel in fetal circulation that bypasses the liver and connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava37) an off-white, cheese-like substance that covers the skin of the fetus and newborn. It is composed of sebaceous gland secretions, lanugo, and epithelial cells. It aids in thermoregulation and delivery39) the embryologic structure of the developing heart which eventually becomes the aorta and pulmonary artery.40) a condition in which the blood flow continues to follow the fetal pattern after delivery. The shunts involved include the ductus arteriosus and the foramen ovale.41) a women during her first pregnancy
