The Journey of Life: From Fertilisation to Implantation
Learning objective
Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you will understand the process of fertilisation and implantation, and the early development stages of a baby.
What do you already know about how a baby develops from fertilisation?
Fertilisation: The Beginning
Fertilisation occurs when a sperm cell meets and fuses with an egg cell, forming a zygote.
Journey of the Zygote
The zygote travels through the fallopian tube towards the uterus, undergoing cell division.
Blastocyst Formation
The zygote forms a blastocyst, a structure that will implant into the uterine wall.
Implantation
Implantation is the process where the blastocyst attaches to the uterine wall, establishing pregnancy.
Early Embryonic Development
Post-implantation, the blastocyst develops into an embryo and begins forming organs.
Interactive: Fertilisation Simulation
Engage with a simulation showing sperm meeting the egg and forming a zygote.
