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 the name of the process that the zygote undergoes that allows it to grow?
The process that the zygote undergoes to grow is called cleavage. During cleavage, the zygote divides repeatedly through mitotic cell divisions, leading to the formation of a multicellular structure known as a blastocyst. This stage eventually implants into the uterine wall, where further development occurs.
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.
Where does sperm travel to attach to the wall of the placenta?
Sperm does not travel to the placenta; rather, it fertilizes an egg in the fallopian tube. Once fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote travels to the uterus, where it implants itself into the uterine lining, not the placenta. The placenta develops later as the embryo grows, facilitating nutrient and waste exchange between the mother and the developing fetus.
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.
