What is ovulation? _____________________________________________________________________

Where is the ONLY place fertilization can take place?______________________________________________________________________

The path the egg travels 1. Mature ova (egg) releases from ovary2. Hormones propel (FSH, LH, Estrogen) the egg

through the Fallopian Tube 3. IF the ova does not meet sperm in the FT, it

travels to the uterus where the lining sheds and bleeding occurs for 7 to 10 days = Menstruation

4. IF the ova meets sperm in the FT, the fertilized egg implants in the Uterus and develops into a fetus

5. What happens if the fertilized egg does NOT implant in the uterus?

6. Ectopic Pregnancy
