What is the definition of artificial insemination and are they any links that can provide you with the procedure.

Thank you

Mosby's Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing & Health Professionals defines Artificial insemination as the following:

The introduction of semen into the vagina or uterus by mechanical or instrumental means rather than by sexual intercourse. The procedure is planned to coincide with the expected time of ovulation so that fertilization can occur.

Please see this website (http://www.webmd.com/hw/infertility_reproduction/hw202610.asp) for the procedure outline.
