Lesson 1 12312 Prenatal Development Birth What do

Lesson 1 1/23/12 Prenatal Development & Birth What do you already know about how a baby is formed?

Lesson 1 The Beginning of the Life Cycle Did you know that your body is made of trillions of cells? Your heart, lungs, skin, bones, and other body organs all began as a single cell that is smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.

Lesson 1 Lesson Objectives In this lesson, you will learn to: • Identify the stages of fetal development from conception through pregnancy and birth • Explain how a pregnant female transfers nutrients and other substances to her fetus

Lesson 1 Conception and Implantation Fertilization • The entire complex human body begins as one microscopic cell that is formed by fertilization. • The resulting cell is called a zygote. • Within a day after the zygote forms, it begins dividing as it travels down the fallopian tube.

Lesson 1 Conception and Implantation • By the time it reaches the uterus, the zygote has divided many times to form a cluster of cells. • After implantation of the zygote, the cluster of cells is known as an embryo. Click image to view movie.

Lesson 1 Embryonic Growth Structures Formed During Embryonic Growth • As the embryo grows, its cells continue to divide, forming three tissue layers that later become various body systems. • During this time, two important structures form outside the embryo: 1. Amniotic sac 2. Umbilical cord

Lesson 1 Embryonic Growth Substances Passed to the Embryo • Although the blood supply of the mother and the developing embryo are kept separate, materials diffuse from one blood supply to the other through the umbilical cord. • Nutrients and oxygen pass from the mother’s blood to the embryo, and wastes from the embryo diffuse into the mother’s blood. • If a pregnant female uses harmful substances, they can cross the placenta and harm the developing embryo.

Lesson 1 Fetal Development Trimesters • The time from conception to birth is usually about nine full months. • These nine months are divided into three 3 -month periods called trimesters. • During the period of growth in the uterus, the fetus develops in preparation for living outside the mother’s body.

Lesson Fetal Development 1 First Trimester – 0 -14 Weeks In the first trimester, the fetus develops a human profile. By week 12 the fetus makes crying motions but no sound and may suck its thumb. Videos: First trimester weeks 1 -9 First trimester weeks 10 -14

Lesson Fetal Development 1 Second Trimester – 15 -28 Weeks In the second trimester, the fetus can hear conversations and has a regular cycle of waking and sleeping. Weight increases rapidly. Videos: Second trimester 15 -20 weeks Second trimester 15 -28 weeks

Lesson Fetal Development 1 Third Trimester – 29 Weeks to Birth In the third trimester, the fetus uses all five senses and begins to pass water from the bladder. Video: Third trimester 29 weeks to birth

Lesson 1 Stages of Birth Changes Experienced During Labor • Many females experience weak, irregular muscular contractions of the uterus for weeks or even months before the baby is born. • As the time approaches for the baby to be born, however, these contractions become regular, stronger, and closer together. • The stronger contractions induce labor.
