noun
artificial insemination
Medical term for the procedure of introducing sperm into the reproductive tract by means other than sexual intercourse.
人工受胎は不妊治療の一つとして行われている。
Artificial insemination is performed as one of the infertility treatments.
体外受精 refers to in vitro fertilization (IVF), where fertilization occurs outside the body, while 人工受胎 specifically refers to artificial insemination inside the body.
Compound of 人工 (artificial) and 受胎 (conception). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the term is a modern medical coinage.
