The embryo will remain one until the eighth week of pregnancy, when it becomes a fetus. During the First Trimester the placenta and umbilical cord develop. These together bring nutrients to the fetus, and also removes waste from the fetus. The Placenta also releases the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Hormone (HCG), HCG helps to maintain pregnancy and it affects the development of the baby. The Amniotic Sac also develops, which is a fluid-filled membrane that supports the developing fetus.
Anyway, I was there when my mom experienced 50% survival chance (same with my little sister), and had to undergo caesarean delivery due to pregnancy complications. No, I'm not scaring the hell out of you by telling this story. My point is, a woman should really take good care of her health during pregnancy, and must take really really good care when experiencing post-fertility peak

Obstetric and gynecological sonographers examine the babies being developed in a mother’s womb. When performing an ultrasound on someone there are steps that should be followed. First of all, before starting an ultrasound put some jelly on the woman’s stomach. Secondly, make the woman’s uterus easier to visualize by pushing any loops of her bowl up and out of the way, especially during early pregnancy. The bowel contains air or gas and ultrasound waves do not travel well through air.
BIOS255 BIOS 255 WEEK 5 Lab 5 - Lymphatic System & Disease Resistance 1. Describe lymphatic system functions. The primary functions of the lymphatic system are to drain and return interstitial fluid to the blood to absorb and return lipids from the digestive system to the blood, and to filter fluid of pathogens, damaged cells, cellular, and cancerous cells to help protect against invasion. 2. Locate each of the following lymphatic vessels: right lymphatic duct, thoracic (left lymphatic) duct, right and left subclavian veins, and cisterna chyli.
Following an intensive screening and selection process the donor endures a few weeks of invasive medical procedures. First the donor and the woman who will carry the child must coordinate their menstrual cycles. Typically the donor and the recipient take birth-control pills, followed by shots of a synthetic hormone such as Lupron; the combination suppresses ovulation and puts their cycles in sync. After altering her cycle the donor must enhance her egg supply with fertility drugs in the same way an infertile woman does when trying to conceive. Shots of a fertility hormone are administered for seven to eleven days, to stimulate the production of an abnormally large number of egg-containing follicles.
Plasma carries food from the stomach to cells but carries waste from the cells to the kidneys and intestine. The body needs lots of haemoglobin because it will combine with the gases; oxygen and carbon dioxide. The red cells carry the oxygen in the arteries and capillaries to cells of the body. One function of the blood is to transport materials within plasma and hemoglobin around the body. Plasma contains hormones, nutrients and waste substances.
