Reproduction in Humans
Subjects / Core Science / Edexcel GCSE Science
Every organism on the planet has resulted from the process of reproduction. Understanding the mechanics of the male and female human body means that we can understand sexual reproduction and pregnancy. What happens once the sperm fertilises the egg? This title examines the stages in development of the zygote through to embryo and foetus until the baby is born. We'll look at the stages of pregnancy, called trimesters, and hear about the changes taking place in the mother-to-be's body. Giving birth to a baby consists of three distinct stages. We'll identify what happens in each stage, and explain what's going on in the mother's body. Sexual intercourse is the means for reproducing the human race. However, there is also the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections. We'll look at the top four infections, and see how they affect the body.
