We are beginning to see intimations of this in the implantation of computer devices into the human body.

American Inventor

Used to describe medical procedures involving the insertion of devices or tissue inside the body.

Surgical Context

A specific term in medical fields; not used for everyday object placement.

Technical Term

Refers specifically to the early pregnancy stage when the embryo attaches to the uterus.

Pregnancy Stage

The process is internal and not observable without medical equipment.

Not Visible

Can be used metaphorically to describe instilling ideas or principles in a group or place.

Metaphorical Use

Suggests a deep or firm establishment, not just a superficial introduction.

Deep Establishment

 So two of them implanted in the body would weigh less than a dime. Five of them would still weigh less than a rupee coin. Where does it go inside the body? It has been simulated and tested to endure in the body corrosion-free for over 80 years. So it goes in and it stays there. Here are the implantation sites.

Simon Lewis: Don't take...

 Well, it's unstable. So what happens when you ovulate? You release a hormone called progesterone, which is progestational, it gets the uterus ready. It acts like a mortar and it holds those bricks together. It also causes some changes to make the lining more hospitable for implantation.

Why can't we talk about...

 This is actually a heart valve, which we engineered. And the way you engineer this heart valve is the same strategy. We take the scaffold, we seed it with cells, and you can now see here, the valve leaflets opening and closing. We exercise these prior to implantation. Same strategy.

 pregnancy is always a huge, and sometimes dangerous, investment. So it makes sense that the body should screen embryos carefully to find out which ones are worth the challenge. This is where menstruation fits in. Pregnancy starts with a process called implantation,

 which disable sperm while also making egg implantation in the uterus difficult. Block, disable, or is one strategy better than the other? There are differences, but a lot of it has to do with how convenient and easy it is to use each contraceptive correctly.

 Never done it before in his life, he put the first one in, didn't like it, he put the second one in. Happy, away I went. Four and a half hours on the table, and everything was done. So the surgical implantation was actually the easiest part.

 they weren't very helpful. So as a result, I had to rely on lip reading a lot, and I couldn't really hear what people were saying. When I was 12 years old, I was one of the first few people in Singapore who underwent cochlear implantation.

 After implantation, HCG levels double every two to three days, so it may just be too early to tell. And beverages can dilute the urine sample, which is why doctors recommend taking the test first thing in the morning.

How do pregnancy tests...

 Well, inside those devices are chips that are made by implanting single ions into silicon, in a process called ion implantation. And that uses a particle accelerator.
