Human herpes virus (HHV) infections are dangerous during the early stages of pregnancy. Circulatory disorders of theendometrium from the uterine arteries pose a threat to the implantation of the embryo and the formation of the structure of chorionic villi. Oxygenation of the placental blood gets ...
Prenatal developmentis the process in which an embryo and later fetus develops during gestation. Prenatal development starts with fertilization the first stage in embryogenesis which continues in fetal development until birth. In human pregnancy, prenatal development, also known asantenatal development, is...

If fertilisation occurs, the syncytiotrophoblast of the embryo produces human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), exerting a luteinising effect, and maintaining the corpus luteum. It is supported by placental HCG and it produces hormones to support the pregnancy. At around 4 months of gestation, the pl...
We examined TMED2 expression in human placenta between 5.5 and 40 weeks of gestation and showed that TMED2 is expressed in syncytiotrophoblast, cytotrophoblast, and stromal cells. We also found high levels of TMED2 expression in BeWo but not in JEG-3 choriocarcinoma cell line. We used ...

Afetusis a human baby developing in the womb from week eleven until birth. Prior to week eleven, a developing baby is known as anembryo. The baby is known as a fetus for the majority of its development in the womb. Lesson Quiz
When the organism is about nine weeks old, the embryo is called a fetus. At this stage, the fetus is about the size of a kidney bean and begins to take on the recognizable form of a human being as the “tail” begins to disappear. ...
The quest for survival starts before the human baby is born; it begins in the womb. From the moment the reptilian mind/brain becomes functional, around the end of the first trimester of gestation, the primary focus of the mind of the foetus is survival. ...
In the present work, using a self-limiting enterocolitis murine model, we show that the ingestion of a low dose of S. Enteritidis at late stages of pregnancy (day 15 of gestation) is sufficient to induce massive maternal infection. We found that Salmonella infection leads to 40% of pre ...
