Does anyone know what these health terms mean?

Question

Well what I really need is a short description of the following no more then 2 sentences.

RIA Test-

in-vitro fertilization-

epideral

dilation

Lemaze method

blastocyst


Please keep them brief like i Said before Im not looking for a genius paragraph or anything a short get to the point description is all I need. What do you get in return for doing this? 5 Stars. If you get all of them...

Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

They al have to do with pregnancy.

Answer 2

In vitro fertilisation[1] (IVF) is a technique in which egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the woman's womb. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a fluid medium. The fertilised egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy.

Epidural: Outside the dura, the outermost, toughest, and most fibrous of the three membranes (meninges) covering the brain and the spinal cord

Cervical dilation is the dilation (opening) of the cervix during childbirth

Lemaze method: It aims to decondition any fear or doubts that women have about the birth and to respond to the sensations of labour in a relaxed and positive way. Some classes place great emphasis on breathing techniques but as this system has developed this aspect is not so regimented as it was.

The blastocyst is the structure formed in early mammalian embryogenesis, after the formation of the blastocele, but before implantation. It possesses an inner cell mass, or embryoblast, and an outer cell mass, or trophoblast. The blastocyst is usually comprised of 200 cells

Answer 3

RIA Test- A urine screening to test for drugs

in-vitro fertilization- when eggs are fertilized outside the womb and then the embryos are put back in the woman

epidural - a form of anesthetic administered into the epidural space of the spine.

dilation - the number of centimeters that the cervix opens during labor.

Lemaze method - a method of breathing for natural, drug free delivery.

blastocyst- the beginning of life. A mass of cells, some of which go on to form the placenta and others form the embryo.

Answer 4

thank you to Wikipedia who assisted in the following answeres -

RIA Test- a scientific method used to test antigens (for example, hormone levels in the blood).

in-vitro fertilization- is a technique in which egg are fertilised by sperm outside the woman's womb. The ovulatory process is hormonally controleld, removing ova (eggs) from the ovaries and fertiliseing with sperm in a fluid medium.

epideral - is a form of regional anesthesia where drugs are injected through a catheter placed into the epidural space. The injection can cause both a loss of sensation (anaesthesia) and a loss of pain (analgesia), by blocking the transmission of pain signals through nerves in or near the spinal cord.

dilation- the opening of the cervix during childbirth. In the early stages of pregnancy, the cervix opens up to 1-3 cm. During labour, repeated uterine contractions lead to further widening of the cervix to about 6 centimeters. From that point, pressure from the baby along with uterine contractions, will dilate the cervix to 10 centimeters, which is "complete."

Lemaze method- an alternative to the use of medical intervention during labor. Uses breathing techniques and other ways to work with the labor process to reduce the pain often associated with childbirth, such as hot and cold packs, changing positions, the use of a "birthing ball" to remain in an upright position, and orgasm to induce or hasten labor.

blastocyst- formed from a mass of cells which go on to form the developing embryo. The outside layer of cells of the blastocyst goes on to form the placenta, and the inner ball of cells forms the embryo.

Answer 5

Epideral is a type of anesthesia where the needle go into the spine and numbs the womens from the waist below.
dialation mean to get bigger, relating to pregnancy it's when the cervics opens up to make room for the baby to come out.
Lamaze method is probabaly refering to the birthing method, natural verus medicated.
Invitro means outside the living body and in an artificial enviroment.
RIa stands for radioimmunoassay ?
Hope I helped a little.

Answer 6

I only know a couple of them..

In-vitro fertilization is when they take your eggs out of your ovaries and place the sperm in with them then they place them back into your vagina and into your uterus.

epidural is when they inject a needle into your spine to numb you from the waist down.

dilation is when you are in labor..your body prepares you to deliver the baby. your pelvic bones will slowly start to separate ( for lack of a better word) during each contraction.

and lamaze methon i'm assuming is when you practice your breathing while your in labor.
