Artwork of human fertilisation and implantation
Fertilisation and implantation. Artwork of the first week of human life, from egg fertilisation to embryo implantation in the uterus (womb). At lower left the ovary (white) releases a round egg into the fallopian tube (pink). Sperm reaches the egg & fertilises it 12-24 hours after egg release. The egg divides (upper left) into a two-celled embryo after 30 hours; at 3 days the embryo (called a morula) is 16 cells (top centre); at 4 days the advanced morula (centre right) nears the womb. At 4.5 days it is a blastocyst (hollow ball of cells) that enters the womb; at day 6 it im- plants on the womb, the thickened region forming the embryo and the placenta which will nourish it

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of human fertilisation and implantation, capturing the essence of life's beginning. The artwork beautifully illustrates the first week of human existence, from the moment an egg is released by the ovary into the fallopian tube to its eventual implantation in the uterus. In this remarkable depiction, we witness nature's miracle unfold before our eyes. Sperm eagerly swim towards the awaiting egg, fertilising it within 12-24 hours after its release. As time progresses, the single-celled egg divides and transforms into a two-celled embryo within 30 hours. The journey continues as days pass by; at three days old, this tiny embryo evolves into a morula consisting of 16 cells. By day four, it advances further towards its destination - nearing the womb with great determination. At 4.5 days old, a blastocyst emerges - a hollow ball of cells that delicately enters its final abode: the womb. Finally, on day six, this resilient blastocyst implants itself onto thickened regions within the uterus – forming both an embryo and placenta that will provide nourishment throughout its development. Through this exquisite artwork created by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into one of life's most extraordinary processes – reminding us just how miraculous our existence truly is.
