... turn into this?
Share your ideas with a partner and be ready to
share your ideas with the class.
3female
This is the tube that the egg travels down to get
to the womb. Fertilisation usually happens here.
Oviduct or Fallopian tube
This is where the fertilised egg would implant
and develop into a foetus.
These release the egg cells
Uterus
Ovary
This is a muscular tube that opens to the outside
of the body. Sperm is deposited here.
Vagina
This holds the foetus in place if the egg has
been fertilised. It is a muscle that closes the
top of the vagina.
Cervix
4male
Bladder
These secrete a liquid to add to the sperm. The
sperm and liquid together is called semen.
The sperm travels up this tube from the testicles.
Sperm duct
Gland
For placing sperm into the female
Penis
This joins to the sperm duct. Semen and urine
leave the penis through this.
Urethra
The sperm is produced here.
Testes
This skin surrounds the testes, holding them
outside of the body to keep sperm at the correct
temperature.
Scrotum
5Outline the route taken from the testes by the
sperm as it leaves the body
Sperm leaves the testes and travels along the
sperm duct...
... which travels through the glands.
The glands provide the sperm cells with food so
that they have energy for swimming.
The sperm duct joins with the urethra...
... which carries the sperm out of the body.
6SPERM
- Males produce sex cells called _______ in the
testes. - Females produce sex cells called ______(ova) in
the ovaries. - When the nucleus of an egg and a sperm fuse
together, this process is called ____________.
EGGS
FERTILISATION
Not to scale! (not in proportion)
Scientists need to research the reproductive
system to help people have babies and also to
help breed animals!

11Fertilisation!
12What is fertilisation and where does it take
place?
13What is fertilisation?
Fertilisation is when the sperm and the egg FUSE
together.
14Where does fertilisation take place?
Fertilisation takes place at the oviduct
(fallopian tube).
15- What happens after fertilisation ?

16A nucleus contains chromosomes
The nucleus contains the chromosomes which carry
your DNA.
17Where did you get your chromosomes from?
You got half of your chromosomes from your mum
and half from your dad
Who did you inherit you eye colour from? Nose
shape? Hair colour?
18Draw this diagram in your books
Can you explain what this diagram shows? What is
the name of this process?
19What happens to the zygote?
After fertilisation the zygote continues to move
down the fallopian tube/oviduct to the uterus
20What happens to the zygote?
The fertilised egg (zygote) then divides and
copies itself several times. It then becomes a
ball of cells called an embryo.

21Passing on the instructions
Use the keywords to identify the key stages on
the worksheet.
22What happens in the womb?
Lining of womb/uterus thickens ready to receive
the embryo
23Implantation
Embryo attaches itself to the uterus wall. This
is called IMPLANTATION.
24Put these statements into the correct order
Number What happens?
The ZYGOTE reproduces to make a ball of cells called an EMBRYO.
The EMBRYO develops into a foetus (an unborn baby).
The egg is release from the ovary into the fallopian tube
The sperm and egg join together. This is called fertilisation and it makes a ZYGOTE.
The EMBRYO travels into the uterus and implants in the lining.
25Match the picture with the correct statement
26Pregnancy this is when a baby grows inside a
woman.
The baby grows inside the womb (the uterus).
It is protected by a bag of water, and gets food
from the woman through the placenta.
27What happens after fertilisation?
The zygote (fertilised egg) divides and copies
itself. This is called an embryo. The embryo
floats towards the uterus.
28Embryo implants in the uterus wall
29A placenta starts to develop
303 - 5 weeks
Weeks 3-5 The embryos tiny heart begins to
beat by day twenty-one. Arm and leg buds are
visible and the formation of the eyes, lips, and
nose has begun.
31(No Transcript)
327 weeks
Week 7 - Major organs have all begun to form.
The embryo has developed its own blood type,
unique from the mothers. Hair follicles and
knees and elbows are visible.
338 - 12 weeks
Weeks 8-12 The embryo is reactive to its
environment inside the amniotic sac where it
swims and moves. Hands and feet can be seen.
3413 - 16 weeks
Weeks 13-16 The brain is fully developed and the
foetus can suck, swallow, and make irregular
breathing sounds. Foetus can feel pain.
3520 - 24 weeks
Weeks 20-24 Foetus has a hand and footprints and
fingerprints are forming. Foetus practices
breathing by inhaling amniotic fluid into its
developing lungs.
3625 - 28 weeks
Weeks 25-28 Rapid brain development occurs
during this period. The foetus eyelids now
open and close.
3729 - 32 weeks
Weeks 2932 There is a rapid increase in the
amount of body fat the foetus has.
3840 weeks
Week 40 Baby is fully developed and ready to be
born.

active. The foetus sleeps and wakes at regular
intervals
The foetus has defined fingers and toes and
begins to grow hair, eyelashes and nails

Week 40
42 43The ZYGOTE divides and three days later it
becomes a ball of cells called an EMBRYO.
At about 9 weeks the foetus is about 25mm long is
completely formed. The placenta and umbilical
cord allow the exchange of carbon dioxide and
oxygen and to get rid of waste.
The egg is released on the 14th day of a womans
cycle.
At 39 weeks the foetus is ready to be born and is
fully developed.
The embryo IMPLANTS into the uterus lining and a
PLACENTA and UMBILICAL CORD start to develop.
Millions of sperm are released into the vagina
during intercourse. When the sperm fuses with the
egg cell it is called FERTILISATION.
44How does the foetus get oxygen?
Any ideas?
45The placenta
46 How does the foetus get the
substances it needs?

? substances cross placenta, then.... ? enter
into the babys blood through umbilical cord
47Amniotic fluid acts as a cushion

in different colours. Copy and complete the
statements below _______________ - Supports and
protects against shocks and physical
damage. _______________ - Supplies nutrients
and oxygen, from the mothers blood, to the

Develops into the baby
Umbilical cord
Protects the unborn baby

- When a zygote divides into a ball of cells it is
called an embryo. - Oxygen passes from the foetus to the
- mother.
