➢ Murula Amenorrhea
➢ Blastocyst
➢ Trophoblast
Increase levels of HCG
and progesterone in
Implantation of the fertilized egg blood
in the endometrial lining
Body reacts to increase
HCG 7 progesterone in
blood. Thus sends
Attachment of the chorionic villi signals to the medulla

Stimulation of the vagus
nerve by the medulla
Development of placental
fragment S/Sx:nausea and
vomiting
