Aminiotic fluid formation and clearance ? ​

Medicine
1 answer:
stich3 [128]1 year ago
4 0

Introduction :-)

The <em>amniotic fluid</em> is the protective liquid contained by the <em>amniotic sac</em> of a <em>gravid amniote</em>. This <em>fluid</em> serves as a cushion for the growing <em>fetus</em>, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between <em>mother</em> and <em>fetus</em>.

Importance :-)

  1. <em>It helps to protect the fetus from trauma to the maternal abdomen.</em>
  2. <em>It cushions the umbilical cord from compression between the fetus and uterus.</em>
  3. <em>It has antibacterial properties that provide some protection from infection.</em>
  4. <em>It serves as a reservoir of fluid and nutrients for the fetus.</em>

<em></em>

Formation :-)

<em>Amniotic fluid </em>is present from the formation of the <em>gestational sac.</em> <em>Amniotic fluid </em>is in the <em>amniotic sac.</em> It is generated from <em>maternal plasma</em>, and passes through the <em>fetal membranes</em> by <em>osmotic</em> and <em>hydrostatic forces</em>. When <em>fetal kidneys</em> begin to function around week 16, <em>fetal urine</em> also contributes to the <em>fluid.</em> In earlier times, it was believed that the <em>amniotic fluid</em> was composed entirely of <em>fetal urine</em>.

The <em>fluid</em> is absorbed through the <em>fetal tissue</em> and <em>skin</em>. After <em>22 to 25 week </em>of<em> pregnancy</em>, <em>fraternization</em> of an <em>embryo's skin</em> occurs. When this process completes around the <em>25th week</em>, the<em> fluid</em> is primarily absorbed by the <em>fetal gut</em> for the remainder of <em>gestation</em>.

<em>Contents :-)</em>

At first, <em>amniotic fluid</em> is mainly water with <em>electrolytes</em>, but by about the <em>12-14th week</em> the <em>liquid</em> also contains <em>proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea</em>, all of which <em>aid</em> in the growth of the <em>fetus</em>.

Hope its helpful :-)

If so, please mark me as brainlist :-)

What are the phases of mitosis and what happens in each?
xxMikexx [17]

Explanation:

Mitosis is the nuclear division followed by cytokinesis, which leads to the production of two daughter cells.

<u>It includes the following phases - </u>

1. Interphase - In this process the Cell actively metabolizes and prepare itself for the process of mitosis and the Chromosomes are not clearly discerned .

2. Prophase - In this phase , the Chromatin gets to condense and can be visualized under a light microscope and  Nucleolus gets disappeared , Centrioles begins to move to opposite ends of the cell .

3. Metaphase - In this phase the Spindle fibers gets align the chromosome along the middle of the nucleus of the cell thereby creating a metaphase plate .

4. Anaphase - In this phase , the chromosomes which got paired up gets separate at the kinetochores and move to the opposite directions of the cell , the Spindle microtubules and physical interaction among polar microtubules is responsible for kinetochore movement.

5. Telophase - In this phase , the Chromatids completely move to the opposite poles of the cell , and new membranes start forming around the daughter nuclei and the Chromosomes disperse and become invisible. Cytokinesis starts.

6. Cytokinesis - In this final process the Actin fiber ring around the center of the cell contracts and create the cell into two daughter cells.

Proton-pump inhibitors are drugs that block the secretions of gastric acids. Which cells are affected by these drugs?
Mashutka [201]

Answer: Parietal cells

Explanation:

Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid in the stomach. They are also known as oxyntic cells. They are the epithelial cells which is located in the gastric glands found in the lining of the fundus and cardia of the stomach.

The proton pump blocks the hydrogen ion pump in the parietal cells. These drugs are commonly known by the name of omeprazole.

They block the the H+/K+ ATPase proton pump which inturn inhibits both basal and stimulated secretion of the gastric acid from the cells.

which condition, not uncommon in pregnancy, is likely to require careful medical assessment during the puerperium
kompoz [17]

Answer:Headaches in the postpartum period can have a number of causes, some of which deserve medical attention. Total or nearly total regression of varicosities is expected after childbirth. Carpal tunnel syndrome is relieved in childbirth when the compression on the median nerve is lessened. Periodic numbness of the fingers usually disappears after childbirth unless carrying the baby aggravates the condition.
