Use your AQA text book and Revision Guide to add the following labels to the diagram above: Fallopian tube, morulla, funnel, oviduct, uterus, zygote
Conception is the start of a n _ _ l _ _ _ and happens when a m_ _ _ s _ _ _ _ penetrates and f _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a female e _ _. During sexual intercourse the male’s p _ _ _ _ becomes erect and millions of s _ _ _ _ are ejaculated into the woman’s v _ _ _ _ _. The sperm swim using their t _ _ _ _ up towards the uterus and into the F _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ t _ _ _ _ . If an e _ _ has been released from an o _ _ _ _ a sperm may meet it and try to p _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ it and
f _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ may take place in the F _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ t _ _ _.
The egg (also called the o _ _ _ ) may live for 12 to 24 hours after being released from the ovary.
Sperm can survive for up to _ _ hours inside the woman’s body. To increase the chance of conception, intercourse should take place the day before o _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ so the sperm is waiting in the F _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ t _ _ _ when the egg is r _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
The o _ _ _ is a female s _ _ cell. Once a m _ _ _ _ a ripe egg is released from an o _ _ _ _ and travels down the F _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ t _ _ _. The sperm travels up the v _ _ _ _ _ , using its long t_ _ _ through the u _ _ _ _ _ to the F _ _ _ _ _ _ _ t _ _ _. Only o _ _ sperm can fertilise the ovum.
