In the picture
- The pipette tip: a narrow glass opening that releases fluid.
- The egg cell: a large round cell near the center of the dish.
- A sperm cell: a small cell with a tail beside the egg.
- The dish rim: the edge of the shallow container holding the fluid.
Examples
- A couple trying for years may visit a fertility clinic.
- A doctor may use a thin tool to place sperm close to an egg in a dish.
Key takeaways
