The ovaries are connected to the uterus by a tube called a fallopian tube. Each month an egg is released from an ovary it then develops and becomes mature. The uterus is where a baby develops until birth. At the the lower end of the uterus there is a ring of muscle called the cervix which keeps the baby in place whilst a woman is pregnant.…

It will start off with the head, notochord and spinal cord developing. From then on more features will branch off and develop. At three weeks you have the embryo becoming c shaped and the umbilical cord starts to form. Then at five weeks your organs will start forming slowly these would include your gut, stomach, liver, start getting your heart bulge and intestinal loop. Then up to six weeks when your eyes are visible and mouth, this is where the ears and nose will start forming while your limps grow rapidly from tiny buds. Then at eight weeks the face is more human and the tail is gone. During the remaining months all the organs have developed. At 20 weeks the foetus would have reached half of its length before birth. By 32 weeks the foetus would have reached half its weight before birth. Finally at 9 months it will be born it will be fully developed and ready to start life as a child.…

    Once a female reaches reproductive adolescence hormonal activity will begin and the maturation of egg cells will commence. These cycles tend to be 28 days long on average, though some females may experience shorter or longer intervals between periods. Each period prepares the body for pregnancy and happens in three phases; follicular, ovulatory and luteal. The follicular phase is around fourteen days in length and initiates the release of both the follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. These hormones ready around twenty immature oocytes for maturation and also promote the release of oestrogen; this ensures that only a certain amount of oocyte-containing follicles mature. As this phase continues, generally around one follicle in each ovary is the strongest and the growth of the dominant…

    The zygote cell is the first stage of the embryo. The zygote contains DNA from both parents which create a unique new identity that has never existed. That is the start of a baby, therefore a pregnancy is not just the woman and her body; new life has already begun since the zygote has the four criteria needed to establish biological life which include growth, metabolism, reaction to a stimuli, and reproduction. About 22 days after conception the baby’s heart begins to circulate its own blood and a heartbeat can be detected and by six weeks that same baby has facial features and brain activity has begun. By after just 10 short weeks, still in the first trimester, the baby can…

A placenta filled with the mother’s blood and through which the embryo obtains nutrients and eliminates waste. The umbilical cord contains the blood vessels that transport nutrients, oxygen and waste products between the embryo and the placenta. The first few weeks of the pregnancy are critical for the embryo and its development can be affected by the health and behaviour of the mother.…

    Pregnancy begins when a sperm penetrates an egg. One to one and a half days later, the single fertilised egg cell begins to divide. After two or three days there are enough new cells to make the fertilised egg the size of a pin head. The embryo then gets attached to the wall of the uterus by a placenta. Then a chemical signal stops the woman from having another menstrual period. After eight weeks, the embryo may have grown to between 3 and 4 cm, has a recognisable heartbeat and the beginnings of the eyes, ears, a mouth, legs and arms. At this stage the growing organism is called a foetus.…
