Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The changes that occur in maternal systems during pregnancy and the reason for the functionally significant changes.
Introduction:
The fetus present inside the mother depends on the maternal system which is essential for the nutrition, respiration and excretion. The demands of the fetus increases as the growth of fetus increases.

- During pregnancy, how does malnutrition during critical periods of development affect the fetus? Group of answer choices When the development of an organ is impaired, the damage is irreversible. If the development of the heart is impaired in the early stages, it can be reversed if good nutrition is provided after the critical period. Malnutrition does not affect the fetus but has adverse effects on the mother's health. Malnutrition does not cause dental problems as teeth develop after the baby is born. A surplus of nutrients taken after the critical period will make up for a deficit caused at any time during development.arrow_forwardExplain maternal stunting in detail Provide examplesarrow_forwardQuestion:- There are specific critical periods during fetal development in which any damage caused to the fetus from malnutrition or exposure to toxins is irreversible. When do these periods occur? a) 3rd trimester b) 1st trimester c) 2nd trimester d) only at week 12 e) there are no critical periodsarrow_forward

Here, α1and α2 are constants and α1 ≠α2. If C1(0)=c0 and C2(0)=C0, use eigenvalues and eigenvectors to solve the system for C1(x) and C2(x). Please, answer all the steps and be careful with uppercase and lowercase C.arrow_forwardGive a brief explanation on how chromosomal abnormalities affect prenatal pregnancy or birth.arrow_forward
- If an AaBbCcdd male mates with an AaBbCCDd female: A) What is the minimum number of ridge-producing genes possible in one of their children? B) What would the be the TRC for this child if it is a male? C) If this child is a male, will he have a higher or lower TRC than the parent with the lower ridge count?arrow_forwardIn the section on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, we discussed that the typical advice given to pregnant women is that the only safe level of alcohol consumption is no consumption at all. However, although the evidence is clear that a mother’s heavy consumption is dangerous to the fetus, the effects, if any, of light alcohol consumption on the fetus are far more ambiguous. In view of the current state of knowledge, do you think it is ethical to give blanket, prescriptive-like advice to women to not drink alcohol if they are pregnant? In considering your answer, consult the articles by Gavaghan (2009), Kelly et al. (2009), and Murray et al. (2016).arrow_forwardBrieflyarrow_forward
