AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy most often occurs in a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. This type of ectopic pregnancy is called a tubal pregnancy.

Detailed explanation-2: -An ectopic pregnancy is an early embryo (fertilized egg) that has implanted outside of the uterus (womb), the normal site for implantation. In normal conception, the egg is fertilized by the sperm inside the fallopian tube. The resulting embryo travels through the tube and reaches the uterus 3 to 4 days later.

Detailed explanation-3: -An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows in a location that cannot support the pregnancy. Almost all ectopic pregnancies-more than 90%-occur outside of the uterine cavity in a fallopian tube, but they can also implant in the abdomen, cervix, ovary, and cesarean scar.

Detailed explanation-4: -An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes are the tubes connecting the ovaries to the womb. If an egg gets stuck in them, it won’t develop into a baby and your health may be at risk if the pregnancy continues.

Detailed explanation-5: -In an ectopic pregnancy, the egg implants somewhere other than the uterus-often, in the fallopian tubes. This is why ectopic pregnancies are commonly called “tubal pregnancies.” The egg also can implant in the ovary, abdomen, or the cervix.
