Answer 1

Implantation of the embryo in any location but the uterus is called ectopic pregnancy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Implantation of the embryo in any location but the uterus is called ectopic pregnancy.

Most of the time, an embryo implants within the body of the uterus, but in 1-2% of cases, it implants either outside the uterus or in a region of the uterus that can create complications for the pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancies can occur in the uterine tubes, ovaries, abdomen, or other well-vascularized structures.
