A- A habit-forming substance whose use may lead to the abuse of drugs that are more addictive or more dangerous.
B- Empty calories, in casual dietary terminology, are calories present in high-energy foods with poor nutritional profiles, typically from processed carbohydrates or fats. An "empty calorie" has the same energy content of any other calorie but lacks accompanying micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals, or amino acids as well as fiber as found in whole grains but less so in white flour. Michael Jacobson, head of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, coined the term in 1972.
C-From the 8th week until birth (around 38 weeks), the developing organism is called a fetus.
D-Fertilization takes place in the ampulla.
E-Basophil: A type of white blood cell involved in inflammation and allergic reactions.
F-A procedure in which a small sample of amniotic fluid is drawn out of the uterus through a needle inserted in the abdomen. The fluid is then analyzed to detect genetic abnormalities in the fetus or to determine the sex of the fetus.
