During ejaculation, sperm moves into the prostate to form semen, which must navigate to the fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg. The zygote then develops into a fetus by weeks 9 to 12, with established body systems and the ability to urinate in the amniotic sac.
Insights
- During ejaculation, the prostate releases alkaline seminal fluid containing nutrients to protect and nourish sperm, aiding their journey through the female reproductive system for fertilization.
- After fertilization in the fallopian tubes, the zygote develops into a blastocyst that implants in the uterine wall, marking the beginning of pregnancy, culminating in a fetus with advanced organ systems by weeks 9 to 12, showcasing the intricate process of human development from conception to early gestation.
