If a zygote attaches to the wall of the fallopian tube it is called an ectopic pregnancy. If it continues to grow, it will cause the tube to rupture and the mother to hemorrhage. If left untreated this can lead to death. Ectopic pregnancies have to be terminated because they are never viable and can be life threatening to the mother.

What is it called when the embryo attaches to the wall of the uterus?
Implantation is the medical term meaning attachment of the zygote to the uterine wall. If the zygote does not attach, a period occurs.
The zygote attaching to the uterine wall?
Implantation.
What is the nesting of a fertilized egg in the wall of the uterus?
A fertilized egg is a zygote for the first five days before becoming a blastocyst. It is during the first week after insemination that the zygote will attach to the uterine wall.
What is the attachment of the zygote to the uterine wall called?
Implantation
When a zygote splits and both pieces embed in the uterine wall they produce?
Identical twins or triplets.
What happens to uterine wall as it prepares for a zygote?
It thickens with tissue and nutrients to prepare to sustain a fertilized egg. This is what is shed during menses and what is seen, as the egg is virtually undetectable by itself.
What happens to the embryo upon reaching the uterus?
Embryo get implanted on the uterine wall.
What is it called when a blastocyst attaches to the uterine wall?
This process is called implantation. During implantation, the blastocyst embeds itself into the lining of the uterus, where it will continue to develop into an embryo.
What is uterine fibrodes?
Uterine fibroids refer to benign tumors that start in the uterus. They are the same smooth muscle fibers as the uterine wall but they are denser than normal uterine wall.
What happens to a pregnant women for her to have twins?
Twins can be identical or fraternal (monozygotic or dizygotic). For identical twins, one sperm fertilizes an egg. The zygote divides into two identical embryos. For fraternal twins, two separate eggs are fertilized. They both implant on the uterine wall, forming two zygotes.
Where and when does implantation take place?
Implantation typically occurs in the lining of the uterus about 6-10 days after fertilization. This process is essential for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterine wall and establish a pregnancy.
A diploid zygote with a thick protective wall?
A diploid zygote with a thick protective wall suggests the zygote has undergone fertilization and is preparing for development. The thick protective wall, likely the zygote's outer layer, could provide physical protection and support as the embryo develops. This protective wall may function in maintaining internal conditions suitable for growth and development.
