Process of conception
Definition
A quarter of a million egg cells are in each ovary. Each human egg cell contains 23 chromosomes. When the follicle ruptures and the egg cell is released, ovulation occurs. After ovulation, the egg, just the size of a grain of rice, will travel through the fallopian tube. Muscle contractions move the eggs down toward the uterus once in the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube is two times the size of a human hair. It takes the egg approximately 3-5 days to travel 5 inches down the fallopian tube. The egg will live in the fallopian tube 24 hours after ovulation. If the egg is not fertilized, it will be disposed of. The sperm are formed in the testes. The prostate will protect the sperm and the seminal vesicles will produce sugars. The sperm leaves the male's body through the urethra. Urine in the bladder will be kept from entering the the urethra during intercorse by a valve. The testes are outside of the body because sperm work best at lower temperatures. The testicles are contained in the scrotum. The average male produces 400 billion sperms in his reproductive lifetime. It takes one month for the sperm to develop and mature. Each head of a human sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. Approximately 200-300 million sperm cells are in ejaculate semen. If sperm are not ejaculated after several weeks they die and are reabsorbed. Sperm develop the ability to swim in the Epididymis. The flagellum enables the sperm to swim. Enzymes and enzyme inhibitors is found on the head of the sperm. These enzymes help penetrate the egg. Twenty percent of the male's sperm are deformed or defective. 1/2 of a teaspoon of semen is ejaculated. Semen is forced out of the penis by muscle contractions. 1/4 of sperm die in the vagina due to the acidity. Sperm lives inside the body of the female for 24-48 hours. A protein, called mucin, is secreted by the cervix to provide tiny channels to direct sperm to their objective. The fallopian/ oviducts are lined with cilia that neat in a downward motion to make the sperm swim against the current, some might get stuck or lost. Two hundred million sperm begin the journey, and only fifty will reach the egg. Only one egg will fertilize the egg. Fertilization takes place in the fallopian tubes. Biochemical change keeps the other sperm from fertilizing the egg. Once the sperm penetrates the egg, the tail comes off. The fertilized egg begins to divide after twenty four hours. Once the egg is fertilized and begins to divide, it is called a zygote. After five days, the fertilized egg is called a blastocyst. Ten days after fertilization, the blastocyst implants in the uterus. The blastocyst is fed by the placenta.
Term
What has to happen from conception to be successful
Definition
The sperm has to unite with the egg and fertilize it. The fertilized egg then has to travel through the fallopian tube to where it will then embed in the uterus.
