Child Development Chapter 4 Prenatal Development
Chapter 4 Section 1 The Developing Baby
1. Explain the process of conception using the following terms: Fallopian tube, uterus, sperm, ovum. An ovum is released from the ovary. u It travels through the Fallopian tube to the uterus. u Conception occurs if sperm reach the Fallopian tube and penetrate and fertilize the ovum. u
2. Prenatal Development Stage Time Span Development Germinal Conception to 2 weeks Zygote forms/grows by cell division; zygote implants in uterus Embryonic 3 rd thru 8 th week Embryo develops rapidly; major body systems form; brain begins to control body systems. Fetal 8 th or 9 th week thru birth Teeth/vocal cord buds develop; digestive/kidney system develops; movement begins; major organs become ready to function; gains weight
3. Explain each of the following: u Amniotic fluid – Liquid that fills the sac that forms around the developing baby to protect it.
u Placenta – Tissue rich in blood vessels that forms in the uterus – Absorbs oxygen and nourishment from mother to pass to baby.
u Umbilical cord – Tube that carries nourishment and oxygen from the placenta to the baby
4. Changes in mother during first 2 months of pregnancy u Menstrual period stops u Breasts swell u Frequent urination u Possible nausea u Fatigue (tiredness)
5. What is lightening and when does it occur? Baby shifts downward into the birth canal. u It occurs near the end of the 40 weeks of pregnancy. u
Chapter 4 Section 2 A Closer Look at Conception
6. What is heredity? Name 3 characteristics that can be hereditary. u Heredity – the passing of characteristics from parents to children through genes. – Hair color – Eye color – Blood type
7. Summarize the relationship between chromosomes, genomes, and DNA. u u DNA – a complex molecule that makes up genes Genes – the units that determine a person’s inherited characteristics Chromosomes – tiny threadlike structures that are made up of hundreds or thousands of genes Genome – the complete genetic blueprint for the creation of a person
8. Explain the difference between dominant and recessive genes. u Dominant – The stronger of the pair of genes – The characteristic it determines will be expressed when it is paired with a recessive gene u Recessive – the weaker of the pair of genes – The characteristic it determines will only be expressed IF the person has a second recessive gene for that characteristic
9. Which parent can provide either an X or a Y to the baby? Which chromosome must come from this parent for the child to be female? The father u The X chromosome u
10. Explain how each of the following occurs: u Identical twins – Fertilized egg develops into cell mass – Cell mass splits in two – Each part develops into separate embryo u Fraternal twins – Two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm – Two embryos form
11. What is the ONLY guaranteed way to avoid pregnancy? ABSTINENCE!!!!
A couple of definitions… u Infertility pregnant – the inability to become – Can occur in both men and women u Surrogate – a substitute mother who becomes pregnant to have a baby for another woman
12. Complete the following chart about options for infertility. Options Description Adoption A child who is not biologically the couple’s child becomes a part of the family. Artificial insemination Sperm is injected into a woman’s uterus. In vitro fertilization An egg from the woman is removed and fertilized with sperm from the man and then placed in the woman’s uterus. Ovum transfer A fertilized egg from a donor is placed in the woman’s uterus. Surrogate mother A woman become pregnant for a woman who cannot have a baby.
13. What are 3 reasons a couple who want children might not use these options? u Personal beliefs u No specialists nearby u Too expensive
Chapter 4 Section 3 Problems in Prenatal Development
14. u Miscarriage – loss of a baby prior to 20 th week u Stillbirth – death of a baby after the 20 th week of pregnancy
15. Birth Defects u u PKU – inability of body to process a certain protein Sickle cell anemia malformed red blood cells interfere with oxygen supply Tay-Sachs disease – Lack of a certain blood chemical makes body unable to process certain fats in brain and nerve cells. Down Syndrome – extra chromosome 21 typically results in mental retardation
16. Causes of birth defects Environment- poor nutrition, diseases, harmful substances, medicines, exposure to hazards u Heredity – inheriting 2 defective recessive genes, inheriting one defective dominant gene u Errors in chromosomes – having too few or too many, broken, or rearranged u Interaction of heredity and environment – inherited genetic predisposition toward a defect along with exposure to a hazard during pregnancy u
17. What does a genetic counselor do? u Uses info from physical exams and medical history to assess a couple’s risk for having a child with certain birth defects.
18. Prenatal tests Test Description Risk Alpha-fetaprotein Mom’s blood is No known risk tested for abnormal levels of protein Ultrasound Sound waves used to make video image Amniocentesis A small amount of Some risk to fetus amniotic fluid is removed and tested Chorionic villi sampling Tissue taken from membrane that encases fetus No known risk Moderate risk
Amniocentesis & Chorionic Villi sampling
Chapter 4 Section 4 Avoiding Dangers to the Baby
19. Compare the fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and fetal alcohol effects? u u Similarities – Both caused by consumption of alcohol during pregnancy – Both cause many of same problems – 1 in 5 FAS babies does not live to see 1 st birthday Differences – FAS is more severe
Fetal Abuse: The Effects of Drugs and Alcohol 17 mins
Learning Disabilities Caused by FAS 3 mins.
20. Why is it critical to avoid taking medications in the first 3 months of pregnancy unless specifically prescribed? The baby’s body systems, including the brain, are forming. u Chemicals in some medications taken at this time may cause severe harm, including mental retardation. u
21. Describe the possible effects on a baby of each hazard listed below. u u u Caffeine – Miscarriage – Premature birth/Low birth weight – Infant death Tobacco – Low birth weight/Premature birth – Respiratory infections – allergies Cocaine – Miscarriage – Premature birth/Low birth weight – Stroke – Heart attack – Seizures, SIDS, tremors – Sleep and feeding difficulties – Developmental delay
22. What is SIDS? u The sudden death of a baby under one year of age with no clear cause.
SIDS 17 mins.
23. If an expectant mother needs X-rays because of an accident, why should she tell doctors that she is pregnant? X-rays can harm the baby. u Doctors can take precautions to limit the baby’s exposure. u
24. Give 3 examples of hazardous substances pregnant women should avoid. Paint u Pesticides u Lead u Carbon monoxide u Mercury u Solvents u Paint thinner u
25. Infections during pregnancy Infection Possible effects on baby Prevention Rubella Blindness, deafness, heart disease, mental retardation vaccine Toxoplasmosis Blindness, hearing loss, learning disabilities, death, mental disabilities, miscarriage, stillbirth Do not clean cat’s litter boxes; don’t eat undercooked meat; wash hands thoroughly after touching raw meat Chicken pox Skin scarring, limb defects, eye problems Get vaccine before pregnant STDs Serious illnesses; physical disabilities; death Get tested and treated AIDS 35 -65% chance virus will pass from mom to baby; Attacks the brain; seizures, retarded, mental development Get tested
