Pathophysiology (Normal Spontaneous Vaginal Delivery)

Fertilization occurs when a sperm and ovum unite. The zygote undergoes cell division and becomes a morula by day 3, and a blastocyst by day 4. On day 6, the blastocyst implants into the uterine lining and embryonic development begins. Embryonic development occurs over 8 weeks in 3 stages: increasing cell number and elaboration, morphogenesis through cell movement, and differentiation of physiological processes. Fetal development then occurs from week 9 until birth via vaginal delivery.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

(Normal Spontaneous Vaginal Delivery)

AGENT

Fertilization
( Union of sperm and ovum )

Zygote - Unicellular
(Intermingling of haploid paternal 23 X or Y and maternal 23 X chromosomes )

Series of Mitotic Cell division - Cleavage


( In 24 hours become two cell organism )

In 72 hours become 16 cell organism called Morula

Morula enters the uterus on the 3rd day through peristaltic movement

Separate into two parts by fluid from the uterus on the 4th day

The outer layer gave rise to the placenta The inner layer gave rise to the embryo
( trophoblast ) ( embryoblast )
blastocytes ataches to endometrium on the 6th day

Implantation

Embryonic development begins during second week continues through


the eighth week

3 Stages
 st
1 stage – increase in cell number and with Fetal Development is from ninth week to birth
elaboration of cell products

 2ndstage – morphogenesis / includes mass cell Newborn baby via Vaginal Delivery
movement

 3rdstage – differentiation or maturation of


physiologic processes
