Question

Differentiate between implantation and parturition.

Answer 1

Sr. No.	Implantation	Parturition
1.	Implantation is the process where the blastocyst attaches itself to the lining of the uterus.	Parturition is the biological act of expelling the full-term fetus from the mother’s uterus.
2.	This process typically occurs 7 to 8 days after the fertilization of the egg has taken place.	This process occurs at the end of the gestation period (pregnancy).
3.	It marks the beginning of pregnancy by securely embedding the embryo into the uterine wall.	It marks the end of pregnancy through the successful birth of the baby.
4.	It is regulated by hormones like progesterone to ensure a stable environment for the embryo.	It is triggered by complex neuroendocrine mechanisms involving the hormone oxytocin.
