Using Finger Digit Ratios (2D:4D) to Determine the Sex Differences in Empathising and Systemising Behaviours Introduction Foetal Testosterone (fT) has been suggested to indicate different sex behaviours and play a large part in shaping the human brain, for example, a ‘male’ systematic brain or even extreme masculine brain conditions such as Autism. Studies have suggested that ‘male foetuses produce 2.5 times more testosterone than females’ (Auyeung et al, 2006), and this testosterone has been…

1. Describe the function of the scrotum in protecting the testes from temperature fluctuations. Scrotum is an external sex organ. The scrotum is a pouch like structure made up of skin. It has 2 main functions. It protects the testis and maintains 2-3oc temperature lower than body temperature, which is very important for spermatogenesis. The scrotum also contains numerous blood vessels and nerves. The cremaster muscle present in the scrotum contracts and pulls scrotum closer to the body whenever…

Sociologist may associate biological influences on gender with the human behaviour and the structure of the human anatomy however; some sociologist may base their sociological influences on gender with cultural and environmental factors. This associates with the “nature vs. nuture” argument, as I will be exploring and comparing sociologist views on whether biology has more of an influence on gender or sociology. From a sociologist’s point of view, sex is referred to the biological approach and…

When the previous balance of estrogen and testosterone changes with age, this sort of occurrence can take place. • What to Do – Once these hairs have begun to establish…

When Joshua was born he was a healthy baby. I learned to decipher his cries as described in our text from fussy to angry, and pain (Arnett, 2016). When Joshua was one year old he was crawling, beginning to walk, and work on his balance. He did struggle with fine motor skills of putting the correct shape of an object into to same shape hole. As Joshua reached toddlerhood I began to leave Joshua with a sitter. Through the course I have learned this is secure attachment style and slow-to-warm-up…

research finds that men and women's visual centers work differently. In the brain, there are high concentrations of male sex hormone receptors throughout the cerebral cortex, especially in the visual cortex which is responsible for processing images. Androgens are responsible for controlling the development of neutrons in the visual cortex during embryogenesis. This results with males having 25% more of these neutrons. Overall this can make males and females perceive objects…

pituitary gland and gonads. The hypothalamus releases LH-RF and FSH-RF factors that stimulates the pituitary gland. Then the pituitary gland releases LH and FSH hormones that stimulates testes in males, and ovaries in females, and these gonads release androgen and estrogen, which are sex hormones. The hormonal levels changes individuals’ physical appearances,…
