Rate this question:
No problem, this can be done without a risk of major complications
Can be done, but there is an increased risk of neurological abnormalities and mental retardation in the child
This is technically possible but it is not a medically approved procedure, so I cannot do this
This should not be attempted because there is a high risk of aneuploidy
Sorry, can't be done because of imprinting
Hardening of the zona pellucida
Loss of the corona radiate
Inhibition of sperm mitochondria
Formation of male pronucleus
Formation of the female pronucleus
Rate this question:
FSH

Prednisone (a synthetic glucocorticoid)
Progesterone
A nonselective COX inhibitor
Rate this question:
Oxytocin inhibits contraction of uterine smooth muscle
Low levels of blood flow to uterine smooth muscle
Prostaglandins such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibit contraction of uterine smooth muscle,
High levels of progesterone suppress contractile activity of uterine smooth muscle.
Absence of luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors until the ninth month of pregnancy.
Rate this question:
Amniotic fluid is primarily derived from maternal blood
A reduced volume of amniotic fluid is called Oligohydramnios
The fetus contributes urine to the amniotic fluid
Amniotic fluid contains nutrients and is the main nutritional support for the fetus
The fetus swallows its own amniotic fluid which is important for maintaining the correct volume of fluid in the amnion
