Implantation (== Template:IPA
The Template:IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) is a system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by the International Phonetic Association in the late 19th century as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language.
Pronunciation
The pronunciation of the term "IPA" is /aɪ piː eɪ/ in English.
Etymology
The term "IPA" is an acronym for the International Phonetic Alphabet. The International Phonetic Association, founded in 1886, created the IPA to provide a single, universal system for the transcription of spoken language.

- Phonetics: The study of the physical sounds of human speech. It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds (phonemes), and the processes of their physiological production, auditory reception, and neurophysiological perception.
- Phonology: The study of the way sounds function within a particular language or languages. While phonetics concerns the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a particular language or languages.

Implantation is a process in pregnancy in which the blastocyst (an early stage embryo) embeds into the endometrium (the inner lining of the uterus). This event occurs approximately one week after fertilization and is critical for the establishment of a successful pregnancy.
Etymology
The term "implantation" is derived from the Latin implantare, meaning "to plant or embed". It has been used in the medical context since the late 16th century.
Process
Implantation begins with the attachment of the blastocyst to the endometrium. The trophoblast cells of the blastocyst then proliferate and invade the endometrium, leading to the formation of the placenta and the umbilical cord, which facilitate the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the mother and the developing embryo.
Related Terms
- Blastocyst: An early stage embryo that implants into the endometrium.
- Endometrium: The inner lining of the uterus where implantation occurs.
- Trophoblast: The outer layer of cells of the blastocyst that invades the endometrium during implantation.
- Placenta: An organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy, providing oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby and removing waste products from the baby's blood.
- Umbilical cord: A tube-like structure that connects the baby to the placenta, carrying oxygen and nutrients from the mother to the baby and waste products away from the baby.
