- Question
- Answer
- Side 3

- hCG is similar to what other hormone
- LH
- pregnancy effect on GI
- decrease motility
- pregnancy effect on pituitary gland
- increases size
- pregnancy effect on thyroid gland
- increases size no change in free T4/T3
- pregnancy effect on parathyroid gland
- increase size and PTH
- pregnancy effect on pancreas
- increase size
  increase insulin secretion
- pregnancy effect on adrenal cortex
- increase cortisol
  increase aldosterone
- placental peptide hormones
- human chorionic gonadotropin
  human placental lactogen
  corticotropin releasing hormone
- key hormone initiating parturition
- corticotropin releasing hormone
- placental hormone that is stimulated by glucocorticoids
- corticotropin releasing hormone
- key hormones in parturition
- CRH
  PGs
  oxytocin
- hormone that increases PG production during parturition
- oxytocin
- pressure on cervix leads to release of oxytocin to stimulate myometrial contractions
- ferguson reflex
- new onset hypertension and proteinuria
- pre-eclampsia
- when is pre-eclampsia usually seen
- after 20th week of pregnancy
- hormone responsible for the maternal recognition of pregnancy
- hCG
- hormone responsible for maintaining corpus luteum after fertilization
- hCG
- placental hormone that has growth hormone-like actions
- hPL (human placental lactogen)
- prevents premature uterine contractions during pregnancy
- progesterone block
- what initiates the removal of the progesterone block
- rise in progesterone binding protein
- three things that increase uterine contractions and cause parturition
- prostaglandins
  oxytocin
  stretch from baby
- unable to produce enough progesterone from corpus luteum to maintain pregnancy
- luteal insufficiency
- chain that confers to uniqueness to either FSH, LH, TSH, or hCG
- beta chain
- effect of pregnancy on blood pressure
- none
- pregnancy effect on ACTH
- increase
- pregnancy effect on gonadotropins
- decreased LH, FSH
- pregnancy effect on thyroid glans
- increase size (due to hCG similiarity to TSH)
  increase total T4/T3 (no change in free)
- pregnancy effect on cortisol
- increase (increased ACTH and sensitivity to it)
- pregnancy effect on aldosterone
- increase (no SE because progesterone is high enough to antagonize at kidney)
- hPL has analogous function to what other hormone
- GH
- difference between CRH of hypothalamus and CRH of placenta
- placental CRH is increased by glucocorticoids (feed forward)
- effect of placental CRH
- increase ACTH
  increase PG
- primary active estrogen in pregnancy
- estradiol
- estrogen used to assess fetal/placental health
- estriol (requires cooperation of all 3 layers of maternal-fetal-placental system)
- hormone that inhibits myometrial contractions
- progesterone
- hormone that increases myometrial contractions
- estrogen
- hormone that increases PG production
- estrogen
- hormone that decreases PG production
- progesterone
- which hormone is dominant during pregnancy
- progesterone
- placental hormone that initiates parturition
- placental CRH
- effect of increased DHEA production during parturition initiation
- increased estrogen (to remove progesterone block)
- role of PGs in parturition
- cervical remodeling
  increase myometrial contractions
- effect of increased cortisol levels during parturition
- increased lung maturation
- role of NFkB in parturition
- blocks progesterone receptor expression
