MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -If fertilization does not occur, the endometrium, coupled with blood and mucus from the vagina and cervix (the lower, narrow part of the uterus located between the bladder and the rectum) make up the menstrual flow (also called menses) that leaves the body through the vagina.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the egg is not fertilized or does not implant, the woman’s body sheds the egg and the endometrium. This shedding causes the bleeding in a woman’s menstrual period.

Detailed explanation-3: -After conception, a fertilized egg travels through your fallopian tubes to your uterus. The fertilized egg (called an embryo) implants (attaches) into the wall of your uterus. This triggers the placenta to form. Your placenta begins producing and releasing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) into your blood and pee.

Detailed explanation-4: -The egg takes several days to travel down the fallopian tube into the uterus. After it is in the uterus, a fertilized egg usually attaches to (implants in) the lining of the uterus (endometrium).
