Question

multiple cholce question
what is an ectopic pregnancy?
o an ectopic pregnancy occurs when donated sperm are deposited in the uterine tube.
o an ectopic pregnancy occurs when implantation occurs outside of the uterus.
o an ectopic pregnancy occurs when the pregnancy lasts more than 40 weeks.
o an ectopic pregnancy occurs when blastocyst implants low in the uterus near the cervix.

Explanation:

Ectopic pregnancy is defined as implantation outside the uterus. Donated sperm deposition in the uterine tube is not the definition. Pregnancy lasting more than 40 weeks is post - term, not ectopic. Blastocyst implanting low in the uterus near the cervix is placenta previa (if in later pregnancy) or just low - lying implantation (early), not ectopic.

Answer:

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when implantation occurs outside of the uterus.
