Why is exposure more harmful to the fetus than mother

Biology
1 answer:
Temka [501]3 years ago

Answer:The mother's antibodies can destroy the red blood cells of the fetus.

Explanation:

If a woman with an Rh negative (Rh-) blood group has a child with an Rh positive (Rh +) male, there is a possibility that the child is also Rh +. Although this has no consequences throughout pregnancy itself, as the mother's and fetus's blood does not come into direct contact during pregnancy, it can have serious consequences for subsequent pregnancies.

In fact, rupture of the placenta at the time of childbirth may allow some red blood cells from the fetus to pass into the maternal circulation and cause sensitization, meaning the woman's body will detect them and begin to make anti-human antibodies. Rh that will persist indefinitely in the blood. If a woman regenerates another Rh + child, the anti-Rh antibodies present in her blood will pass easily into the fetus's blood through the placenta and attack and destroy the fetus' red blood cells, which can lead to severe fetal anemia and serious repercussions that sometimes lead to intrauterine death.

<span>The correct answer is 6.</span>  
<span>
When we compare male and female, the prevalence of osteoporosis and the rate of fractures are much higher in postmenopausal women than in men of the same age.  Because of that, this condition is often called “woman’s disease”. One of the explications is that women have smaller and thinner bones than men. Also, estrogen decreases when women reach menopause, which can cause bone loss.</span>
