Fertilisation and pregnancy
Fertilisation and Pregnancy
4.4
Fertilisation and Pregnancy
The process of fertilisation and embryo implantation
Sperms will swim into the vagina during copulation.
If an ovum is present in the Fallopian tube, fertilisation may occur. Sperm will fuse with ovum in the Fallopian tube and form zygote.
Ater ferttilisation, the zygote will divide itself and become a ball of cells known as embryo. The embryo will be implanted on the uterine wall at the uterus.
The growth of zygote to embryo and foetus until birth
Week 1 - 4
Hands and feet will start to form.
The embryo has a tiny tail.
Week 7 -9
Nose, ears and fingers will be visible
Week 10 - 19
Embryo will look like a baby
The embryo is now known as a foetus
Week 20 - 37
Foetus will resemble a baby
Week 38 - 40
Foetus is fomed completely
The foetus turns until the head is engaged at the cervix
The muscle of the uterine lining will contract strongly, the amnion will burst and amniotic fluid will be released
Foetus is pushed out of the uterus through the vagina and then out of the body.
