Answer: The Biophysical Profile (BPP) is an ultrasound that measures breathing, body movement, tone, and amniotic fluid volume.
Explanation:
The BPP is a combination of tests which checks the baby's health based on five fetal biophysical variables:
- The fetal heart rate (FHR) acceleration through the use of nonstress test (NST).
- An ultrasound to measure the baby's breathing, body movement and muscle tone, and amount of amniotic fluid protecting the baby.
Each variable gets a score from range 0 to 2 for a maximum score of 10. A score of 6 or less shows altered fetal well-being and need for further assessment. The BPP does not detect neonatal problems,does not screen for neural tube defects, does not involve a needle.
The nucleus basically controls every activity in the cell so, the nucleus is transferring proteins, nutrients, waters and salts to provide for the cytoplasm which takes up space in the outside of the nucleus.
