Explanation:
- Artificial Insemination (AI) is a method of assisted reproduction that involves the direct insertion of sperm into a woman's reproductive tract.
- In this technique, the semen collected either from the husband or a healthy donor is artificially introduced either into the vagina or into the uterus (IUI – intra-uterine insemination) of the female.
- The purpose of AI is to facilitate fertilization when natural conception is not possible or has proven difficult.
Other Options:
- IUT (Intrauterine Transfer): The zygote or early embryos (with upto 8 blastomeres) could then be transferred into the fallopian tube (ZIFT–zygote intra-fallopian transfer) and embryos with more than 8 blastomeres, into the uterus (IUT – intra-uterine transfer),
- ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): This is a technique used in conjunction with IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization. This method is commonly used for severe male infertility issues.
- GIFT (Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer): This procedure involves placing eggs and sperm directly into the fallopian tubes so that fertilization occurs naturally within the woman's body.
