MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During in vitro fertilization, eggs are removed from mature follicles within an ovary (A). An egg is fertilized by injecting a single sperm into the egg or mixing the egg with sperm in a petri dish (B). The fertilized egg (embryo) is transferred into the uterus (C).

Detailed explanation-2: -If the injected sperm successfully fertilizes the egg and forms an embryo, that embryo is then implanted in a woman’s uterus to begin a pregnancy. ICSI is successful in fertilizing 50-80 percent of inseminated eggs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Before your eggs are collected, you’ll have an injection of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) that helps your eggs to mature.
