Embryology* is the study of morphological changes or processes that occur prenatally. Spans from gametogenesis until birth. Focusses on both the normal and the abnormal developmental processes. Helps us to understand the anatomical basis of congenital anomalies

The anatomy of the limbs includes bones, muscles, nerves, and joints. Upper limbs Shoulder: The shoulder is where the upper limb attaches to the trunk. The glenohumeral joint is formed by the humerus, scapula, and clavicle. Radius: The radius pivots around the ulna to produce movement in the forearm. Ulna: The ulna stabilizes the forearm. Hand: The hand includes the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The carpals are eight bones in the wrist. The metacarpals are the bones in the palm

Anatomy: The study of the structure of the body Physiology: The study of function of the living organism Pathology: The study of disordered body function

Download full notes on INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY PHYSIOLOGY. This notes will equip different terminologies about human anatomy and physiology ,division of human anatomy, names of the body regions and full description of hierarchal organization o the human body and lastly various organs systems and their roles .

The 3 Divisions of Human Anatomy: 1. Gross anatomy. 2. Developmental anatomy. 3. Microscopic anatomy. Microscopic Anatomy: Study of minute structures with aid of a microscope . Histology: Study of tissues Cytology: Study of cells

EXCITABLE TISSUES: Can generate action potentials (impulses) A reserve for muscle and nervous tissues NON-EXCITABLE TISSUES: Cannot generate the electrical impulses Refers to epithelial and connective tissues

Sensation: State of awareness of an external or internal stimulus a) Special sensations: vision, olfaction, gustation, hearing & equilibrium b) General sensations: Visceral or somatic sensations

Malpositions & Malpresentations of the fetus present the midwife with a challenge of recognition and diagnosis both in the antenatal period and during labor. It is therefore imperative for the learner midwives to have a thorough understanding of the various fetal malpositions as well as malpresentations.

Theatre nursing has developed alongside the history of surgery. • Surgery is an old form of treatment that can be traced back through the history of man. • In the past, there were no theatres, no trained personnel, no anaesthesia and no equipment. • Operations were performed at home. • Problems during this time included infection, bleeding and pain.

•It’s a pregnancy induced condition characterized by excess amount of liquor amnii (amniotic fluid) to more than 1500ml, based on ultrasound scanning. NB Clinical diagnosis is only possible where the amount is at least 3000 ml.

Multiple pregnancy refers to the development of more than one(1)fetus in the uterus at a specific duration. Classification of Multiple Pregnancy It’s based on the number of fetuses and type of placentation (placental formation). The primary classification are based on; 1. Number of fetuses 2. Zygosity 3. Chorionicity and Amnionicity 4. Vanishing Twin Syndrome

Induction of labor is an obstetrical intervention which involves the initiation of uterine contractions (labour) artificially or prior it’s spontaneous onset. • It’s done after viability at gestation ages of 28 weeks and above. • Commonly performed when the risks of continuing the pregnancy are perceived to outweigh the risk of shortening the duration of pregnancy.

Definition; Also referred to as dysfunctional labor or dystocia, is labor that does not progress in atypical or expected manner.

Forceps delivery is a means of extracting the foetus with the aid of obstetric forceps when it is inadvisable or impossible for the mother to complete the delivery by her own effort. • This procedure is performed by a forceps; an instrument that has two parts that cross each other like scissors and lock at the intersection. • The lock may be of sliding type or of screw type. • Each part consists of a handle, a lock, a shank and a blade. • The blade is joined to the handle by a shank. • The blade has two curves, cephalic curve to fit the head, and pelvic curve that correspond with the curved axis of the pelvis.

Operations Research is a scientific methodology which is applied to the study of the operations of organizations (mostly large and complex) or activities to assess the overall implications of various alternative courses of action to provide an improved basis for management decisions.
