**

13. Mild Systolic heart murmur consider normal sign during pregnancy

a. True

b. false

7. In pregnancy the muscle fibers of the uterus increase in numbers by a process of

a.All of the above

b.Polymorphology

c.Hyperplasia

d.Hypertrophy

Answer 1

b) True

Insulin need increases during pregnancy. From the second trimester of pregnancy, insulin requirements usually start to rise. By around 30 weeks as much as two or three times the daily pre-pregnancy insulin dose is required.

b) true

Erythropoietin and erythrocyte production are increased during normal pregnancy while erythrocyte mass per unit of body weight remains constant throughout the entire pregnancy, and hemoglobin and hematocrit continuously decrease into the third trimester. Mild anaemia is because body might not be able to produce the amount of red blood cells it needs to make this additional blood.

b) true

BP falls gradually at first trimester, reaching a nadir around 22–24 weeks, rising again from 28 weeks. This because the physiological fact that second wave of trophoblastic invasion creates a low-resistance vascular blood flow, with the consequence of a reduced BP at around 20 weeks of gestation.

13. a) true.

Systolic murmurs are common during pregnancy caused by increased flow through the right and left ventricular outflow tracts. Diastolic murmurs are not common.

7. a) All of the above

There is hyperplasia increase in number of cells and hypertrophy increase in size of cells and polymorphology of the myometrium of the uterus during pregnancy.
