Gametes. The major reproductive events in human beings are as follows
(i) Gametogenesis It is the formation of gametes. It includes spermatogenesis (formation of sperms) and oogenesis (formation of ova/eggs)
(ii) Insemination It is the transfer of sperms by the male into the genital tract of the female
(iii) Fertilization Fusion of male and female gametes to form zygote is called fertilization
(iv) Cleavage It is rapid mitotic divisions of the zygote which convert the single celled zygote into a multicellular structure called blastocyst (blastula)
(v) Implantation It is the attachment of blastocyst to the uterine wall
(vi) Placentation It involves the formation of placenta which is the intimate connection between the foetus and uterine wall of the mother to exchange the materials
(vii) Gastrulation It is the process by which blastocyst is changed into gastrula with three primary germ layers
(viii) Organogenesis It is the formation of specific tissue, organs and organ systems from three primary germ layers
(ix) Parturition (child birth) it involves expelling of the baby from the mother’s womb (uterus)
