Braxton Hicks contractions.

Braxton Hicks contractions are a tightening in your abdomen that comes and goes. They are contractions of your uterus in preparation for giving birth. They tone the muscles in your uterus and may also help prepare the cervix for birth.

Braxton Hicks contractions feel like muscles tightening across your belly, and if you put your hands on your belly when the contractions happen, you can probably feel your uterus becoming hard.

The contractions come irregularly and usually last for about 30 seconds. While they can be uncomfortable, they usually aren’t painful.

If the pain or discomfort of your contractions eases off, they’re probably Braxton Hicks contractions.

Mucous membranes arise from which layer of the fertilized egg?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Most correct answer is all of the germ layers

Explanation:

Mucous membranes constitute the innermost layer of a number of hollow organs (i.e.: gastrointestinal tract). They are composed of an epithelial lining which overlies a deeper layer of connective tissue. Typically, each of these components arises from a different germ layer. For instance: the mucous lining of the gut arises from a combination of endoderm-derived epithelium and lateral mesoderm-derived connective tissue. Other mucous membranes may have different origins, for example: The mucous lining of the oral cavity is composed of ectoderm-derived epithelium and underlying connective tissue derived from head mesenchyme (combination of cephalic neural crest and paraxial mesoderm).

Summary:

Mucous Membrane = Epithelium (derived mainly from endoderm, followed by ectoderm, rarely mesoderm) + Underlying Connective Tissue (usually mesoderm)
