Questions
- During which days of a typical 28 day menstrual cycle does the follicular phase occur?
- If the ovum is to be fertilised, where is the most common site of fertilisation?
- What hormone is released from the pituitary gland and stimulates the follicles in the ovary to mature?
- If the ovum is not fertilised, what causes the cycle to end and menstruation to start?

Slide 3 - Slide

Learning objectives
  • You can describe the hormonal changes that occur after fertilisation happens
  • You can describe the hormones involved in pregnancy

Fertilisation
  • Sperm cells carry enzymes

  • Egg cell puts up permanent block

  • Egg cell completes meiosis 2

Slide 10 - Slide

First period of pregnancy
  • Completion meiosis
  • Cleavage divisions
    - No growth
  • Blastocyst
    - First structures
  • Implantation

Slide 11 - Slide

First period of pregnancy
  • Cleavage divisions
    - No growth
  • Blastocyst
    - First structures
  • Implantation

Slide 12 - Slide

Implantation
  • Embryo gets nutrients from the endometrium
  • The trophoblast invades the endometrium
  • The placenta is being formed

Slide 13 - Slide

Placenta development
  • Formed by embryo and mother together
  • Exchange of nutrients and waste
  • No direct blood contact!

Slide 14 - Slide

Exchange of nutrients/ waste/O2
  • O2, CO2 , nutrients  and wastes via diffusion, selective absorption and active transport
  • between the fetal capillary beds and the maternal blood spaces
  • No mixing of blood!

Slide 15 - Slide

What arteries and veins?
  • One umbilical vein containing O2 rich, CO2 poor, nutrient rich blood
  • Two umbilical arteries containing O2 poor, CO2 rich, nutrient poor and waste rich blood

Slide 17 - Slide

The Cuddle Hormone Oxytocin
- Okytokos: Greek for quick birth
- stimulates the contractions
-made by the posterior lob of the pituitary gland
- is being released by both men and women when they cuddle and or have sex
-increases chances on fertilization
- helps parents to bond with their child


Slide 18 - Slide

Birth
  • First stage
    - Cervix expands
    - Amniotic fluid released
  • Second stage: delivery
    - Actual birth
  • Third stage
    - Expulsion of the placenta

Slide 19 - Slide

Lactation
  • Nourishment after birth
  • Hormones
    - Prolactin: promotes milk production
    - Oxytocin: stimulates release milk
  • Drinking baby promotes release of prolactin and oxytocin, but inhibits release LH and FSH
    - Lactational anovulation
  • Colostrum: first milk contains many antibodies
