The number of weeks of gestation also can be estimated by abdominal examination, by ultrasonography, by measuring maternal serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels, and by signs such as "quickening," the first perceived fetal movement.
Discuss pregnancy and the endocrine placenta.
(98) VerifiedOne follicle ruptures and ovulation occurs. If the ovum meets a viable sperm, then fertilization occurs. Progesterone helps to maintain a rich vascular endometrial wall where the fertilized ovum will implant. A specialized layer of cells becomes the placenta, which functions as an endocrine organ and produces several hormones. These hormones help in the growth and maintenance of the fetus and direct changes in the woman's body to prepare for birth and lactation. The average length of pregnancy is 280 days.
