In which of the parts you have labelled do the following occur:

1
menstruation : uterus (womb) 3 and vagina (9)
2
fertilisation : oviduct (fallopian tube) 2
3
pregnancy : uterus (womb) 3
4
ovulation : oviduct (fallopian tube) 2
5
sexual intercourse : vagina 9
What hormone is responsible for the development of secondary
sexual characteristics in males? And in females?
In males: testosterone, in females: oestrogen

A woman has a period beginning at the 14 th of March. She has sexual

intercourse at the 26th of March.
a. When will she have her next period? 28 days later, so 14th + 28 days =
11th of April
b. When will she have her ovulation? 14 days later, so 14th + 14 days =
28th of March
c. Can she be fertilised when sexual intercourse happened at the 26 th of
March? Yes because sperm cells stay alive for 3 days in the
oviduct, so they can fertilise an egg cell which is released at the
28th of March.
