Placenta - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Antepartum Haemorrhage and Placenta Praevia

Antepartum haemorrhage, especially in cases of placenta praevia, can present challenges in pregnancy. This condition, where the placenta covers or is near the cervix, requires careful monitoring and may necessitate interventions like ultrasound scans and potential hospital admissions. Risk factors f

Placenta Accreta Syndrome: Definition, Risk Factors, Diagnosis, and Management

Placenta Accreta Syndrome (PAS) is characterized by abnormal placental implantation with firm adherence to the uterine muscle due to the absence of certain layers. Risk factors include previous cesarean section, placenta previa, advanced maternal age, and uterine anomalies. Diagnosis involves ultras

Endocrinological Aspects of Pregnancy: Hormones, Functions, and Synthesis

During pregnancy, endocrinological structures like the corpus luteum and placenta play vital roles in the production of hormones such as progesterone and estrogens. Progesterone maintains pregnancy by controlling essential functions like endometrial differentiation, myometrial quiescence, and local

Comprehensive Overview of Caesarean Section and Uterine Anatomy

Caesarean section (C/S) is an operative procedure done under anesthesia to deliver the fetus, placenta, and membranes through an incision in the abdominal wall and uterus. The history of C-section dates back to the 17th century, with significant advancements in the modern era. Understanding the anat

Understanding the Impact of Drugs on Pregnancy Development

This lecture covers factors influencing placental transfer, harmful effects of drugs at different developmental stages, FDA classifications of drugs, and teratogenic drugs. It explains how drugs cross the placenta, including physiochemical properties and stage of development affecting transfer. The

Extra Embryonic Membrane Formation in Chick and Their Functions

The development of extra embryonic membranes in chick embryos plays a crucial role in their growth and protection. These membranes, including the amnion and chorion, serve various functions such as providing protection, facilitating gas exchange, and supporting the formation of the placenta. Underst

Development of Extraembryonic Membranes in Frog Embryos

The developmental stages of extraembryonic membranes in frog embryos are visually illustrated in a series of images. These images showcase the intricate processes involved in the formation of structures such as the amnion, chorion, yolk sac, and allantois, leading up to the development of the placen

Understanding Ecology and Biodiversity

Ecology explores the dynamic interactions between living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) factors in ecosystems. It delves into selective breeding, protein structure, hormones, placenta function, and the vulnerability of embryos during early development. Meiosis, mRNA translation, feedback mechanis

Types of Placenta in Embryology: Classification and Structure

The lecture discusses the classification of placenta based on the mode of attachment and distribution of chorionic villi. It covers folded, villous, and labyrinthine placenta along with diffuse, cotyledonary, zonary, and discoidal placenta types in different species. The structure of placenta involv
