(Proceed to chapter 2 – pages 21 to 30) TERATOGENS
- To reach maturity with optimal health, a FETUS needs
Risk factors in pregnancy: sound genes and a healthy intrauterine environment that
1. Genetic – family history protects the fetus from the influence of TERATOGENS.
- TERATOGENS are any factor (chemical or physical) that
2. Biophysical risks
adversely affect the fertilized ovum, embryo or fetus.
– originate from the mother or fetus
3. Nutritional status
– 20% of underweight or overweight pregnant mothers. 3 FACTORS that Influence the Amount of Damage
Caused by Teratogens
1. The strength of the teratogens
Example:
Prenatal Radiation Exposure
- Exposure to radiation in small amount can cause NO
damage but frequent and/or large doses of radiation can
cause serious fetal defects.

[SUB] 1.01 TITLE OF LECTURE – Dr. Professor
Teratogenicity of Drugs
Environmental Teratogens
- Radiation has been proven to be a potent teratogen to
unborn children because of high proportion of rapidly
growing cells present.
-
Common examples of Chemical teratogens:
1. Metal and Chemical Hazards – carbon monoxide from
a motor vehicle exhaust.
2. Lead poisoning from paints and plastics
