Answer

  • vein

Question 20

Question

Answer
  • Uterine

Question 21

Question
Why does foetal haemoglobin have a higher affinity for oxygen than adult haemoglobin?
Answer
  • Foetal blood has lower CO2 levels thus leading to a left shift in the oxygen dissociation curve
  • Foetal blood is less acidic thus leading to a left shift in the oxygen dissociation curve
  • Foetal haemoglobin interacts less with 2,3-diphosphoglycerate thus leading to a left shift in the oxygen dissociation curve
  • Foetal blood is a lower temperature than adult blood thus leading to a left shift in the oxygen dissociation curve

Question 22

Question
Which hormone prevents the degeneration of the corpus luteum?
Answer
  • hCG
  • Oestrogen
  • Testosterone

Question 23

Question
Electrolytes such as Calcium and Iron follow the osmotic gradient and thus these nutrients never pass from foetus to mother during pregnancy.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 24

Question
Which three of the following statements are true about Human Chorionic Somatomammotropin (hCS)
Answer
  • It is produced as of Week 5 of pregnancy

  • It has a direct effect on the testes of the male foetus, aiding the development of the male sex organs
  • It is directly involved in the development of the breasts during pregnancy
  • It prevents degradation of the corpus luteum by promoting progesterone secretion

Question 25
