maternal passive immunity - Term used to describe the transfer of maternal antibodies to the fetus (through the placenta) and the neonate (through milk). (More? Placenta | Normal Development - Milk)
meconium The gastrointestinal contents that accumulate in the intestines during the fetal period. This material is a mixture of liver bile and glandular secretions, amniotic fluid, and cellular debris. Meconium is also used to describe the first postnatal rectal discharge from the neonate. Fetal stress in the third trimester or at parturition can lead to premature meconium discharge, into the amniotic fluid and ingestion by the fetus (meconium aspiration syndrome) and damage to respiratory function. Damage to placental vessels meconium myonecrosis may also occur. (More? Birth | Gastrointestinal Tract Notes | Respiratory Notes)
meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) Fetal stress in the third trimester, prior to/at/ or during parturition can lead to premature meconium discharge into the amniotic fluid and sunsequent ingestion by the fetus and damage to respiratory function. Damage to placental vessels meconium myonecrosis may also occur.

This is the first page to work through in this current Practical on GIT Development.
Try to first use the glossary for any new terms that you may encounter, if you still have problems then ask a Tutor in the practical class.
