What else can I help you with?
The blank develops into the fetal portion of the placenta?
The chorion develops into the fetal portion of the placenta. It plays a crucial role in nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and the fetus during pregnancy.
What happens to the blastocyst cells that do not become a human body?
The blastocyst cells that do not become part of the human body form the placenta and other supporting tissues necessary for fetal development. These cells contribute to the formation of structures that facilitate the exchange of nutrients and waste between the mother and the developing embryo.
The process where a long needle is used to withdraw fetal cells from the fluid around a fetus is called what?
The process is called amniocentesis. It involves using a long needle to collect a sample of the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus. This procedure is typically used to test for genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus.
The placenta is composed of tissues from the?
The placenta is composed of tissues from both the mother and the fetus. It is made up of fetal and maternal blood vessels, connective tissue, and other cells that allow for the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the mother and the fetus.
Briefly describe how are amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling are used in genetic screening?
Amniocentesis involves taking a sample of the amniotic fluid and checking the fluid for fetal tissue, metabolites, and other markers that would indicate that there is a problem with fetal development. Fetal genetic testing can be performed on the fetal cells in the amniotic fluid. Chorionic villi sampling essentially involves collecting a specific part of the placenta for genetic analysis. Since the placenta is the same genotype as the fetus it is possible to make a genetic diagnosis of the fetus based on analyzing the placenta. Chorionic villi sampling is less invasive and therefore less likely to cause fetal distress.
What is A process where a long thin tube is used to withdraw fetal cells from the fetal side of the placenta is?
The process you are referring to is called chorionic villus sampling (CVS). It involves using a long thin tube to obtain a small sample of cells from the chorionic villi on the fetal side of the placenta for genetic testing.
What is circumvallate placenta?
Its a placentation abnormality .Placenta got a fetal site .Fetal site which has a central depression is circumvallate placenta
Do babies send stem cells to their mothers during pregnancy?
Yes, during pregnancy, fetal stem cells from the baby can cross the placenta and enter the mother's bloodstream. This phenomenon is known as fetal microchimerism.
What is the placenta barrier?
The placenta is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall. The placenta supplies the fetus with oxygen and food, and allows fetal waste to be disposed via the maternal kidneys. The placenta develops from the same sperm and egg cells that form the fetus, and functions as a fetomaternal organ with two components, the fetal part (Chorion frondosum), and the maternal part (Decidua basalis).
What is the fetal equivalent of lungs and liver?
Placenta
What side of the placenta that is smooth and shiny?
Fetal surface.
The extraembryonic membrane that forms the fetal portion of the placenta is the?
The chorion.
What substance is exchanged in the placenta?
In the placenta, oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood are exchanged for carbon dioxide and waste products from the fetal blood. This process occurs through the placental membranes, allowing for efficient transfer without direct blood mixing. The placenta acts as a vital interface, supporting fetal development by ensuring that the fetus receives the necessary substances for growth while eliminating waste.
Where in a mother does a fetal pig form?
As in most mammals, the fetal pig will form within the placenta in the uterus of the mother.
Which technique is used to collect fetal cells during pregnancy for genetic testing?
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) involves collecting cells from the placenta, while amniocentesis involves collecting cells from the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus. These tests can be done during pregnancy to obtain fetal cells for genetic testing and detecting chromosomal abnormalities.
