 Sperm Formation
 MEIOSIS forms sperm in gametes
 Sperm forms in testes
 Scrotum keeps cooler than rest
 Semen is sperm plus protecting fluid
 Semen leaves testes through the vas deferens (sperm
ducts) to the urethra before it exits.

Mrs. Degl
 Ovum Formation
 MEIOSIS forms the eggs (ova)
 Eggs are formed before birth
 1 egg per month is matured and released from
ovaries, most of the time
 Eggs travel through the fallopian tube where
they may become fertilized

Mrs. Degl
 Fertilization
 Occurs in upper 1/3 of Fallopian tube
 Only 1 sperm can fertilize an egg
 Fertilized egg = zygote
 An average woman is pregnant (gestational period)
for 9 whole months. That is 40 weeks. Babies can
survive if they are born earlier, but they may have
complications due to being premature.

Mrs. Degl
 Implantation
 Fertilized eggs are implanted into thick walls of
uterus
 Membranes dig into uterus to form placenta
 Zygote grows into an embryo
 Embryo gets air and nutrients through the umbilical
cord
 Mom’s uterus grows with the baby

Mrs. Degl
 1st Trimester =
1st 12 weeks

 Heart develops first

 Neural tube develops
 All body systems appear by Week 8 –
Now a Fetus

Mrs. Degl
 2nd Trimester =
up to 24 weeks
 Most growth
 Looks more like a baby
 Some preemies survive at this stage

Mrs. Degl
 3rd Trimester
= Up to 40 weeks
 More growth
 Kicking, rolling, stretching

 Eyes open – Week 32

 Lungs mature

 Rotates to head-down

position, unless baby is breech

Mrs. Degl
 Birth
 Labor
 Uterine contractions begin
 Cervix dilates to 10 cm.
 Birth
 Uterus pushes baby through vaginal canal
 Placenta delivered after baby
 Cesarean Section (c-section) is a surgery that cuts through
the uterus to deliver the baby if it cannot be born vaginally

Mrs. Degl
