Question
Chapter 28, Problem 4TYC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason why the embryo will be aborted if the ovaries are removed in the first 6 weeks of pregnancy and why the pregnancy can go to full term if the ovaries are removed later in pregnancy.
Introduction:
Ovulation is the process that takes place on the 14th day of the ovarian cycle. On this day, an egg is released into the fallopian tube by rupturing the matured Graafian follicle. When sperm reaches the fallopian tube at this time, fertilization of the egg occurs and results in the formation of a zygote.

What happens if an oocyte combines with sperm? Describe the processes involved in implantation. Mention what is occurring, where it is occurring, and any significant hormones involved. How does the zygote make its way through the uterine tube? Women who smoke cigarettes have an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy because the chemicals they absorb paralyze cilia all through the body. Explain.
Explain how a woman with an ovary removed from one side and a uterine tube removed from the other side can get pregnant (exclude the possibility of in vitro fertilization).
The hormones that maintain the uterine wall during the last 5 to 6 months of pregnancy are
