Female gamete = Ovum

Fusion of sperm and ovum forms:

Zygote

Main Events of Human Reproduction

Gametogenesis
Insemination
Fertilisation
Cleavage
Implantation

Estrogen level:

Increases

Endometrium regenerates.

3. Ovulation

Occurs around:

14th day

Triggered by:

LH surge

Graafian follicle ruptures and releases ovum.

4. Luteal Phase

Ruptured follicle becomes:

Corpus luteum

Corpus luteum secretes:

Progesterone

Function: Maintain endometrium.

FERTILISATION

Fusion of:

Sperm + Ovum

Occurs at:

Ampullary-Isthmic Junction

ACROSOME REACTION

Acrosome releases enzymes to penetrate ovum.

Important enzymes:

Hyaluronidase
