| foetal organ maturity | <embryology> Functional competence of specific foetal organs or body systems. In humans, it is usually assessed by analysis of amniotic fluid, as in the assessment of foetal lung maturity by analysis for components of pulmonary surfactant. (08 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| foetal ovoid | <embryology> The form of the foetus in utero; its length is about one-half of the length of the extended foetus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foetal placenta | <embryology> Placenta foetalis, the chorionic portion of the placenta, containing the foetal blood vessels, from which the funis develops; specifically, in humans, it develops from the chorion frondosum. Synonym: pars foetalis placentae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foetal resorption | <obstetrics> Death and resorption of the foetus at any stage after the completion of organogenesis. It does not include embryo resorption. (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal reticularis | Synonym: foetal adrenal cortex. Synonym: androgenic zone. Synonym: X zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foetal souffle | <obstetrics, paediatrics> A blowing murmur, synchronous with the foetal heart beat, sometimes only systolic and sometimes continuous, heard on auscultation over the pregnant uterus. Synonym: funic souffle, funicular souffle, umbilical souffle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foetal tachycardia | <obstetrics, paediatrics> A foetal heart rate of 160 or more beats per minute. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foetal tissue transplantation | Transference of foetal tissue between individuals of the same species or between individuals of different species. (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal trimethadione syndrome | <paediatrics, syndrome> A foetal syndrome resulting from maternal ingestion of trimethadione during the early weeks of pregnancy and characterised by developmental delay, V-shaped eyebrows, epicanthus, low-set ears with anteriorly folded helix, palatal anomaly, and irregular teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foetal viability | <obstetrics> The potential of the foetus-in-utero to survive after birth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal warfarin syndrome | <obstetrics> Foetal bleeding, nasal hypoplasia, optic atrophy, and foetal death resulting from administration of warfarin to the pregnant patient. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foetal zone | An extensive area of the adrenal gland present in primates during foetal life and for a short period after birth; located between the definitive cortex and the medulla, it contains large steroid-secreting cells arranged in a reticular pattern; involution of this zone in humans is largely completed by three months after birth. Synonym: androgenic zone, foetal reticularis, foetal zone, provisional cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
