Reproductive health

survival of their species. The male and female reproductive systems are essential for reproduction. The main purpose of the male reproductive system is to produce and deliver sperm into the female reproductive system. The main purpose of the female reproductive system is to produce egg cells and to nurture a fertilized egg so it is able to develop into a fetus. The male and female reproductive systems are distinct from one another in that the male reproductive system includes mostly external…

Cestodes have a scolex with two longitudinal bothria. There are hooks present and they also have genital pores that are lateral or medial, which depends on the species. They also have numerous testes. The life cycle of this parasite involves a crustacean as the first intermediate host and a fish as the second intermediate host. The size of the species varies widely and the largest known measure more than 40 meters long. Each segment has four to fourteen complete sets of genitalia. The scolex of…

The male reproductive system is responsible for producing, transporting, and maintaining sperm. It's also responsible for producing male sex hormones. These sex hormones actually take on the role of being responsible for maintaining the male reproductive system. Unfortunately, the male reproductive system also takes on the role of discharging its sperm into the female reproductive tract during sex. The major organs that make up your male reproductive system include the following: bladder,…

became a sperm all the way until I make my grand exit. We will start with the process of meiosis, which is how I got to become a spermatozoon. Like any good journey, we have to have a setting. In this instance, we are in the testes, the male reproductive organ that produces sperm. The process of becoming a spermatozoon all starts with a process called interphase. During this time, chromosomal DNA is being replicated. After interphase, each cell has 46 chromosomes, and is therefore called a…

THE INCREASED BIOPOLITICAL CONTROL OF WOMEN’S BODIES THROUGH REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE REGULATION; AN INTERSECTIONAL ANALYSIS. Recently proposed laws that enact abortion and reproductive health care regulation have been marked as safety precautions in order to protect the health of women. However, these laws do not consider which groups are most often impacted by their enactment, and what the consequences of said enactment may be. If clinics in low income neighborhoods cannot meet…

competitive members of a population. One of the basic features of reproductive success is providing offspring an environment with the necessary features for effective development, such as nutrients and water, temperature control and protection from predators. Oviparity and viviparity are two methods that provide developing embryos with the environment they require to successfully develop. Oviparity can be defined as a reproductive mode where a portion of embryonic…

7. What hormone does an “ovulation” test probably detect? Why? An “ovulation” test probably detects the ovulating hormone, which is LH. This is because LH triggers ovulation, in which the egg is released from the ovary. LH is also important in the development of the corpus luteum. 8. What are the functions of the uterine tubes? The uterine tubes, or fallopian tubes, receive the ovulated oocyte, allow for the transport of sperm towards the egg, and then they provide a place for…

The video was about two couples who were trying to produce a baby. The video focus on how the sperm reaches the ovaries. Part One: We was introduce to Glen. Every heart beat Glen has 1000 sperm are producing in the testis. Sperm are free-living cells constantly moving. Sperm is one five hundred milliliter long. The testis, where sperm is made, is a round, elongated structure and has a series of tubules. In the video, the “sperm people” in white clothing where in a building waiting. This…

The male reproductive system , as stated previously, is different from the female reproductive system. The male reproductive system consists of testes, ducts, accessory sex glands, the penis, and scrotum (McLafferty, 2012 p1). The testes consist of glandular tissue and each testis is contained in a white fibrous capsule called the tunica albuginea (McLafferty 2012 p1). The testes are held in the scrotum which is a loose sac of skin and smooth muscle. Approximately two months before birth, the…

SHORT ANSWER: Using the “Journey of the Sperm” illustration, 1) In the space below, correctly label each structure; 2) In the space below, describe the function of each structure (2.5 pts each) 1. Penile glans: The penile glans is the outermost tip of the penis and is very sensitive to physical stimulation. The glans consists of 4,000 nerves that allow it to be exceptionally sensitive. The female counterpart to the penile glans is the clitoris glans. 2. Vas deferens: The vas deferens allows for…
