Fertilisation

As against dyadic communication (i.e., one to one) and mass communication (i.e., one to many), group communication implies a many-to- many communication. Team work and group communication form an integral part of most organisations that embrace the concept of an open organisational climate and participative management. This is largely because of the complexity of decisions that have to be made when we are dealing with groups as opposed to individuals. 2.2.1 Group communication The member of an…

1. Case Summary: Miss X, 16y/o Chinese young teenager visited her GP for a simple UTI treatment.

Miss X reported that she sometimes had unprotected sex but said that she had always been careful and not having sex during her ‘fertile’ period. She is currently well, with…

It is founded on knowledge of reproductive anatomy, physiology, and endocrinology, and incorporates relevant aspects of molecular biology, biochemistry and pathology. In the assessment of patients imaging techniques, laboratory methods and surgery may be needed. Treatment methods include counseling, pharmacology, surgery, and other methods. Reproductive medicine addresses issues of sexual education, puberty, family planning, birth control, infertility, reproductive system disease (including…

siblings are conceived for the sole purpose of aiding their elder sibling who is suffering from a life- threatening illness. This is done using reproductive technology called preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in combination with in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and Human Leukocyte Antigen…

What would life be like if it took place in a dystopic society? What would change and what would remain the same? A dystopian society is described or defined as: “a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding.” In the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, readers are shown the life of Bernard Marx and other characters that live in this very controlled and futuristic world. It is shown as a “perfect” world gone wrong. Even though everyone seems happy…

Conception is the moment where the egg and sperm meet and this is the start of pregnancy. Fertilisation occurs when the sperm cell enters the uterus and moves towards the egg tube. The first trimester which is between 0-12 weeks, occurs at the embryonic stage. On week 3, women will miss their period, the placenta is formed and it will “act as the liver, lungs and kidneys for the embryo and the foetus” Squire (2007) and the amnion sac is also formed where it floats in a liquid called the amniotic…

Mary Troxell Muenzberg November 28, 2016 PHI 202-02 Approximately 3,000 babies are aborted each day in the United States, according to the Abortion Index. You can terminate a fetus 's life either by procedurally removing the fetus from the mother or taking a pill. Generally, it is defined as a medical procedure performed by a physician who takes a fetus from its mother, cutting off nutrients, air, and essentially, all life from their innocent body. This may produce a graphic image within your…

Starting with the detection of diseases in newborns an example of genetic screenings success can be found from Phenylketonuria (PKU). PKU forms in approximately one out of twelve thousand live births. A child who hosts PKU shows no sign of problem at birth but if left untreated may suffer seizures and develop behavioral problems and mental retardation. PKU testing started in the 1960's and is now mandatory in the United States. Through this regulatory process PKU has practically been eliminated.…

disadvantage in the way the dragons are able to move as it may be more difficult to fold the wings, making it uncomfortable for dragon on their landing. In creating offspring there are a number of possible combinations that can be produced through fertilisation between gametes, the female ova and male sperm cells. The variation is introduced during Meiosis Metaphase1 where the homologous pairs of chromosomes line up in the equator of the cell (refer to flow charts of male and female meiosis).…

development and neuroscience. The reproductive cycle (four larval stages) lasts for just up to three and half days while each organism is capable of yielding about 300 progenies. The fact that Hermaphrodites can reproduce either by cross- or self-fertilisation allows for the viability of mutant strains even without mating behaviour and even paralysed worms with an absent nervous system function can be grown in the laboratory, allowing the analysis of strains with mutations such as synaptic…
