✓✗Not all copulations lead to fertilisation and pregnancy because
- the zona pellucida never allows any sperm to enter
- ovum and sperms may not reach the ampulla together
- sperms cannot swim through the female genital tract
- the cervix remains closed during the entire cycle
General
✓✗The signals for parturition originating from the fully developed foetus and placenta induce mild uterine contractions called the
- knee jerk reflex
- LH surge
- foetal ejection reflex
- milk ejection reflex
General
✓✗The edges of the infundibulum have finger-like projections called
- cilia
- microvilli
- villi
- fimbriae
General

- 60 million and 40 million
- 300 million and 300 million

- estrogen from the placenta
- oxytocin from the maternal pituitary
- oxytocin from the fetal pituitary
