Answer 25

A follicle

Question 26

What is the follicle called after the egg leaves?

Answer 26

Corpus lutiem

Question 27

Outside the ovary until day 1 where an egg binds with a follicle and the cycle starts again.

Question 34

After a 'fert' is embedded, how does a baby grow?

Answer 34

A placenta is formed and when it is mature secretes own P + E, which maintains endo and the feedback to brain (hypothalimus). Preventing the depletion of SH + LH + thus no new cycles.

Question 35

After a 'fert' is embedded, how does a baby grow?

Answer 35

A placenta is formed and when it is mature secretes own P + E, which maintains endo and the feedback to brain (hypothalimus). Preventing the depletion of SH + LH + thus no new cycles.
