What is a fertilized egg called and where does fertilization occur?
Fertilization happens when a sperm cell successfully meets an egg cell in the fallopian tube. Once fertilization takes place, this newly fertilized cell is called a zygote. From here, the zygote will move down the fallopian tube and into the uterus. The zygote then burrows into the uterus lining.
In which structure does the fertilized egg develop Brainly?
Answer: The answer is Uterus! Hope this helps!
Where does the Foetus develop?
Uterus (also called the womb): The uterus is a hollow, pear-shaped organ located in a woman’s lower abdomen, between the bladder and the rectum, that sheds its lining each month during menstruation. When a fertilized egg (ovum) becomes implanted in the uterus, the baby develops there.
Which structure on the sperm propels it toward the egg?
The tip of the sperm head is the portion called the acrosome, which enables the sperm to penetrate the egg. The midpiece contains the mitochondria which supplies the energy the tail needs to move. The tail moves with whip-like movements back and forth to propel the sperm towards the egg.
Where does the fusion of sperm and ovum occur?
the fallopian tube
Human fertilization is the union of a human egg and sperm, occurring in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. The result of this union, leads to the production of a zygote cell, or fertilized egg, initiating prenatal development.
Where does the fertilized egg develop in the female body?
At the Vagina, the egg is expelled to the outside world. The fertilised egg (zygote) develops into an embryo (and later, a foetus) in the uterus, which is the largest internal female organ. Q: What is the hollow muscular organ where the fertilized egg develops and grows?
Where does the fertilized egg move down the fallopian tube?
The fertilized egg (zygote) divides repeatedly as it moves down the fallopian tube to the uterus. First, the zygote becomes a solid ball of cells. Then it becomes a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst.
How are embryonic stem cells formed in the fertilized egg?
From the moment of fertilization, the fertilized egg goes through a process of cell division. The fertilized egg first divides into two cells, then each of these divides into two more cells and so on until, a few days later, we have a small ball made up of a few dozen embryonic cells.
Where is the fertilized egg expelled to the outside world?
Next is the Shell Gland, where calcium (or Calcareous) secretions develop and deposit to create the hard shell of the egg. At the Vagina, the egg is expelled to the outside world. The fertilised egg (zygote) develops into an embryo (and later, a foetus) in the uterus, which is the largest internal female organ.
