40
the uterine tubes transport the ovum from the _________ to the _____________
ovary/uterus
41
finger-like ___________ near the ovaries direct the ovum into the tubes

42

43

44

45

46

pregnancy
67
normal pregnancy length, or ____________, is ____ weeks
gestation/ 40
68
from implantation through week 8,

78
___________________________ that help the uterine muscle strengthen for labor and delivery

82
expulsion ends with
