    Study Notes

    Day 1

    • Uterus lining breaks down and exits the vagina
    • Tissues released because pregnancy did not occur

    Day 5

    • Uterus lining rebuilds
    • Prepares the body for a fertilized egg cell (zygote) implantation
    • Egg cell matures in an ovary
    • Egg cell contains mother's genetic material for offspring

    Day 14

    • Egg cell is released from an ovary (ovulation)
    • Egg cell travels down the oviduct
    • Egg cell can be fertilized by a sperm cell in the oviduct, forming a zygote
