Uterus, Parturition, Fertilisation, Gestation, Implantation.
Topic: Stages of pregnancy
Answer
Fertilisation → Uterus → Implantation → Gestation → Parturition
This traces a pregnancy from beginning to end: FERTILISATION — sperm and ovum fuse in the fallopian tube, forming the zygote UTERUS — the dividing embryo travels down and reaches it IMPLANTATION — the blastocyst embeds in the uterine lining, about six or seven days later GESTATION — the period of development, about 280 days PARTURITION — the act of giving birth
PARTURITION is the term worth learning here, since it is the least familiar: it means childbirth, and it is brought about by OXYTOCIN causing the uterine muscles to contract.
Note that fertilisation and implantation happen in DIFFERENT organs and several days apart — a point students often blur together.
