Study Notes
Pregnancy and Fertilization
- A normal pregnancy typically lasts around 38 weeks post-fertilization.
- Fertilization normally takes place in the fallopian tube.
- An ectopic pregnancy is significant because it occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, which can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
- Implantation of a blastocyst, a stage in embryonic development, occurs 6-10 days after fertilization.
- The sperm and egg, also known as gametes, meet to start the process of fertilization.
