THE WONDERS OF FETAL CIRCULATION

Video ni memang senang ckit nak paham fetal circulation... all the best.. happy sharing...

My Life As A Nurse

Assaalamualaikum....

Sebenarnya... ikhlas cakap.. jururawat bukan kerjaya pilihan aku pada mulanya.. aku rasa sejak dari bangku sekolah rendah lagi... dulu2 cikgu mesti tanya cita2 kita nak jadi apa.. majoriti akan cakap pilihan pertama diaorang sebagai ' CIKGU'.. sebabnya... sebab hari2 dok tengok cikgu.. tengok cikgu pakai baju cantik2, hari2 dok tunggu nak tgk cikgu pakai baju apa hari ni, pakai kasut warna apa, pakai hand bag warna apa.. kan..kan..kan..

Pilihan kedua 'DOKTOR'... x tau la sbb apa nak jadi doktor.. hahah..
pilihan ketiga 'POLIS'... sebab?.. tah.. lupa.. heheh..

So.. macam mana aku leh terjadi misi ni...

DIFFERENTIATION OF ZYGOTE, EMBRYO & FETUS

FERTILIZATION

Fertilization is the union of the male gamete (the sperm) and the female

gamete(the oocyte). Fertilization usually occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tube

At the fertilization the nucleus of the sperm and the nucleus of the ovum unite to form diploid zygote.

BABY BRAIN DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE

Assalamualaikum...

Kat bawah ni ada timeline berkaitan dengan baby brain development.. harap dapat membantu..

Weeks	Development
Week 1 - Week 2	Conception, that is fertilization and attachment of the fertilized egg in the uterine wall.
Week 3	It is in the third week that actual organ formation begins, even though it is still considered to be an embryo. The backbone, cardiovascular system and the brain begins to form.
Week 4	The three parts of the brain, that is, the fore brain, middle brain and hind brain start forming. The optical stalk also forms.
Week 5	While the baby's brain development during pregnancy continues, other organs, like the circulatory system are activated. The facial features begin to develop and the arms, legs and digits are visible on the ultrasound.
Week 6	In this week, there is formation of brain hemispheres. Some amount of brain wave activity is also seen. The neural tube that connects the brain with the spinal cord closes in this week.
Week 7	The neurons in this week are multiplying at a rapid rate, thus, the brain is growing at a rapid rate. Its formation is nearing completion.
Week 8	By the eighth week, the head is quite large when compared to the rest of the body. The baby brain development activities reach a new high when there is further development of the hind brain, which is the center responsible for regulating vital activities, like the heartbeat, breathing rate, etc.
Week 9	The nervous system is developed and is ready for proper functioning at a basic level.
Week 10	The baby's brain development in the womb increases in its rate at this stage and the brain is forming around 250,000 neurons per minute. The genitals also begin to develop at this stage, thus, establishing the sex of the fetus.
Week 11	The spinal cord is clearly developed and defined and the spinal nerves start to stretch out to reach other parts of the body from the spinal cord.
Week 12	The brain enlarges in size only slightly as compared to its birth size and shape.
Week 13	This week marks the completion of the first trimester. The heart, spleen and liver are already functioning at this stage.
Week 14	At this stage, the baby is acquiring lots of nutrition for the brain development via the placenta.
Week 15	The baby's torso is growing rapidly and it gets completely covered by lanugo (very fine hair that protects the skin). The sense of hearing also gets sharpened in this week.
Week 16	The baby starts tugging at the umbilical cord at this stage.
Week 17	By the seventeenth week, the uterus begins to expand to give room to the growing fetus. As the skeletal system begins to grow and become hard, the nerves need protection. The spinal cord is protected by a barrier made of myelin.
Week 18	While the brain is growing very rapidly, the baby develops sensitivity to light.
Week 19	In this week, the fore brain develops into the left and right cerebral hemispheres. The brain is capable of forming millions of motor neurons, thus, enabling the baby to develop and make the muscle movements voluntarily. The nerve cells required for processing all the senses also start to develop rapidly.
Week 20	Nerve cells at this stage begin to make complex connections with the brain and the rest of the body, in the form of sensory perceptions. This goes on till the child grows up till the age of five years.
Week 21	The overall growth and cell multiplication rate of the fetus slows down considerably in this week. The heart is getting stronger and fat starts to get stored in the baby's body.
Week 22	As the brain tries to understand complex sensory perceptions, the fetus is now able to distinguish between different sounds.
Week 23	The nervous system is almost completely formed at this stage. All the nerve cells formation is complete, and all these neurons come together to form the nervous system.
Week 24	At this stage, the brain begins to regulate all the body functions and activates the visual and auditory systems. This heightens the overall senses of the baby.
Week 25	The spinal cord begins to straighten out and harden. The optic nerve at this stage can perceive light coming from any direction.
Week 26	The brain up till this stage of the baby brain development was smooth in its structure. However, at this stage, the tissues of the brain begin to develop creases. The brain waves also begin to get stronger at this stage, as there is heightened functioning of the auditory and visual sensors.
Week 27	As the brain is actively processing all the sensations it receives, it is claimed that maybe the baby gets dreams at this stage. The brain tissues are rapidly developing now.
Week 28	The brain at this stage can regulate breathing rate and the body temperature. The brain continues to develop creases and fissures.
Week 29 - Week 40	The third trimester is marked by fewer brain developments. The brain continues to grow in size without multiplication of neurons. The brain and lungs are the last organs to develop completely.

Blog Khas untuk semua nurse... terutamanya 'NICU NURSE'

Assalamualaikuumm....

This my 1st post on my blog.. sebenarnya x tau nak tulis apa.. cuma nak intro ckit pasal blog aku ni..
