Fallopian tube

an uneven hormone balance. If there is an uneven hormone balance, then eggs cannot be created correctly. Problems in the ovulation process can occur where a woman’s body destroys the eggs she has created, or there can be cases where a woman’s fallopian tubes are dysfunctional. Surgery can cause a woman to be infertile. A woman can also have endometriosis, which causes tissue to grow in locations other than the uterus. Once this happens, the tissue would need to be surgically removed. Scar tissue…

Abortion : Is it wrong? Let’s first start off by explaining what abortion actually is. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy. It is most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. People often get abortion and miscarriage confused with each other but unlike abortion, a miscarriage is the expulsion of a fetus from the womb before it is able to survive independently. It is said that twenty-one percent of all pregnancies end in abortion. In 2011, 1.06 million…

During the second stage of ovarian cancer the disease has spread from the ovary or ovaries to the pelvic organs, such as the fallopian tubes, uterus, bladder, colon or rectum. In the third stage, the cancer has now spread from the ovary or ovaries and has passed the pelvis to the abdomen or nearby lymph nodes, cancer cells are also present in the abdominal lining being slightly smaller…

interesting. Cynoes’ idea that imperfect design is the mark of evolution rather than the idea of perfect design was thought provoking. His supporting evidence behind his theory, his graphic description behind the gaps between the human ovary and the fallopian tube or how the male urethras poor design was explained in extensive detail. Another impressive instance of Coynes’ ability to provide supporting evidence for his imperfect design idea is the abnormal course of the left recurrent…

CANCER RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT OVARIAN CANCER SECTION A Ovarian cancer grows in the cells which make up the ovaries; the ovary, fallopian tube, and uterus. These cells are part of the female reproductive system, and are essential in the fertilization of eggs to create a fetus (Ovarian Cancer Alliance, 2014). Cancer is caused by abnormal cells which grow and spread rapidly to other areas of the body through the bloodstream (metastasis). These cells can form a tumor and follow the process of…

People could argue for what seems like forever about whether or not abortion should remain legal or how the law can better regulate abortions based on how far into the pregnancy a woman is and why she is considering terminating the pregnancy. While we may never come to a unanimous decision, we should at least agree that abortions in order…

1. Describe what may occur if hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity occur as a result of drug use. Hepatotoxicity is when the liver detoxifies and metabolizes foreign chemicals in the blood. It can be damaged by drugs or their metabolic products. If liver cells are injured, enzymatic abnormalities usually occur which is when fatty liver deposits form, hepatitis occurs, and in the worst cases liver failure can result. Nephrotoxicity occurs when nephron tubules and/or filtration abilities of the…

It was in the year of 1827 when scientist first discovered that the female body contains what is called today eggs. Back then, medicine called them ova based on its Latin name. However, it took scientists nearly sixteen years to discover that conception occurs through the connection of sperm from the male reproductive system with an egg from the female reproductive system. From this significant discovery in 1827, reproductive medicine slowly began developing step-by-step with each year adding…

children in the U.S. About 5 million of them can't and won't be able to carry babies of their own naturally. In Vitro Fertilization is the process that can and will help women have babies of their own. IVF is when an egg is being fertilized in a test tube, or somewhere else outside of the body. IVF literally means “fertilization in glass”. It was founded by Louis Brown in 1978, in England. “The first In Vitro Fertilization program in the U.S was introduced at the Eastern Virginia Medical School…
