輔助生殖技術：試管受精 |
|
(vitrum: glass，自拉丁語：玻璃，照字面意思：在玻璃管內受精) “試管受精”指從女子和男子體內取出卵子和精子，然後在培養皿裏把這兩種生殖細胞（配子）放在一起，以極大地提高兩者融合和分裂機會的醫學處置措施。如果兩種生殖細胞成功融合，也就是如果能夠達到受精和已經發生隨後的發育，這個正在發育的細胞團則會被轉移至子宮。人們期待著這個細胞團在那裏植入子宮內膜。

試管授精：成熟的卵子從卵巢取出，被放置於培養皿裏受精。在細胞分裂之後，受精卵被移送至子宮內。

In Vitro Fertilization: Mature eggs are removed from the ovary, placed in a dish to be fertilized. After their segmentation, the fertilized eggs are transferred from the dish into the uterus.

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART): In Vitro Fertilization |
|
The term "in vitro fertilization" (from lat. vitrum: glass. Literally: fertilization in a glass) refers to the medical procedure of retrieving eggs from female body and sperm from the male body and then placing these different sex cells (gametes) together in a laboratory dish where they have a greatly enhanced opportunity to unite and then grow. If they do, i.e. if fertilization and the following segmentation have taken place, the growing cell clusters are transferred into the uterus, where they can be expected to implant in the uterine lining. |
