Introduction

As other animals do, human beings should also reproduce their offspring to sustain generations. Reproduction starts with fertilisation and implantation of the zygote which has to undergo through different stages of development in the female uterus for about nine months.

In this session, we will focus on the theoretical knowledge of how fertilisation and implantation of the ovum in the uterus occurs, and how the foetus is nourished as it develops during the nine months of gestation.
