A potential ovum undergoes meiosis one cell mature and is released from the ovary during ovulation

others degenerate.

Sperm are conditionally produced from puberty in seminiferous tubules in testes. Cells in tubule wall
undergoes meiosis and mature into sperm.

Objective

Outline the mechanism for bring gametes together, their fusion, development of the embryo in humans

Development of the fetus

After fertilization the zygote divides continuously to produce a ball of cells (embryo).This is propelled by
peristaltic movement of the oviduct to the uterus where it is embedded into the uterus lining.

The process of fitting the finger like projections of the placenta into depression on the folded uterine
lining is called INTERDIGITATION.

There are three structures that are essential to the foetal development
