Conception • About every 28 days, an ovum is released by one of the woman’s ovaries. • Ovum: is an egg cell • This release is part of the woman’s menstrual cycle and is called ovulation. • Uterus:is the organ in a woman’s body in which a baby develops • It is pair shaped and is able to expand during pregnancy. • Inner lining of the uterus grows and thickens, if the ovum is not fertilized, the lining breaks and passes through the body • Bleeding that woman experience during menstrual cycle. • When an ovum is released it moves through the fallopian tube into the uterus. • Fallopian Tube: is a tube that connects the ovary to the uterus. (2-3 days)
Conception continued • The male cell is known as sperm. • When the sperm reach the fallopian tube, it may penetrate and fertilize the ovum. • This process of the sperm fertilizing the ovum is known as conception. • Ovum usually live to 12 to 24 hours; while sperm can live up to 72 hours. • Pregnancy begins at this time; and lasts up to 9 months. • Ectopic Pregnancy- is one which the baby starts to grow somewhere other than the uterus. (Fallopian Tube). • Very dangerous for mother; do not end in live birth.

Role of genetics • At the moment of conception; every human baby receives 46 chromosomes • Chromosome is a tiny threadlike structure in the nucleus of every cell. • Come in 23 pairs. • Mother and Father contribute 1 pair to each chromosome • Gene: is a unit that determines a humans inherited characteristics • The complete blueprint for the creation of a person is called genome. • The complex molecules that make up genes are called DNA.
DOMINANT / RECESSIVE GENES • For each inherited characteristic, a person receives 2 copies of a gene. • One copy from the mother • One copy from the father • When both genes are the same, the child automatically has that characteristic. • Many times, a person receives 2 different genes. • Characteristic is determined by the dominant gene. • Dominant Gene: is a stronger gene • Recessive Gene: is a weaker gene. • The recessive gene will not be expressed. • Recessive genes are only expressed when they are received from both parents. • Red Hair
Making a unique person • The gender of the child is determined at conception. • The sex chromosomes come in 2 types: X and Y. • Each ovum carries an X chromosome • Each sperm carry either an X or Y. • XX= Female • XY= Male
Multiple births • The most common form of multiple birth is twins. • Identical • When a sperm fertilized the ovum; cells begin to divide right away. The cells then split in half creating 2 separate masses. Each cell begins to grow into a separate embryo. • One Sperm and One Ovum that divide • Fraternal • Two eggs are released from the ovaries at the same time, and fertilized by different sperm. • Can be opposite gender
Infertility • Not all couples who want to become parents are able to have children. • Infertility: is the inability to conceive a child. • About 40% of cases are due to female infertility • 40% are due to male infertility • 20% have unknown causes or are linked to both partners. • How might the make someone feel? • How might a couple react to this kind of news? • Steps they can take?
Options for infertile couples • Adoption • Artificial Insemination • Doctor injects sperm into the woman’s ovaries. Husband is usually the donor. • In Vitro Fertilization • Sperm is injected into the ovum outside of the body. Once it has been fertilized, it is then placed in the woman’s ovary. • Ovum Transfer • Similar to In Vitro; except the ovum has been donated from another woman. • Surrogate Mother • Is a woman who becomes pregnant to have another woman’s baby with one of the above procedures.
Three stages of pregnancy • Prenatal Development • Is the baby’s development during pregnancy • Consists of 3 Stages • Germinal Stage • Embryonic Stage • The Fetal Stage
The germinal Stage • The first stage in a baby’s development. • Zygote: is the fertilized egg. • Lasts only 2 weeks • Includes the key steps in establishing a pregnancy • Cell Division • Zygote grows by cell division. • Within a few days, the zygote has about 500 living cells. • Implantation • The lining of the uterus has now thickened. • Zygote implants itself on the lining of the uterus.
The embryonic stage • Second Stage of Development • The Embryo is what the developing baby is called from the 3rd to the 8th week. • During these 8 weeks: the face, eyes, ears, limbs, and bones begin to form • Organs and Body Systems • Cells begin to separate into the major systems • The heart, lungs, bones, and muscles. • After 27 days the neural tube has closed ( brain and spinal cord) • Amniotic Sac • Sac filled with fluid forms around the embryo • Amniotic Fluid: liquid that surrounds and protects the developing baby in the uterus. • Cushions the embryo from bumps or falls
