Gonadotropin-releasing hormone

functioning reproductive systems in order to conceive naturally, I will first begin by explaining the male reproductive system, the testes are cradled within a ‘bag’ of skin called the scrotum, their two functions are to produce sperm cells and sex hormones. Next, the vas deferens. Sperm passes through the vas deferens to the urethra, whilst travelling through the vas deferens it mixes with a fluid containing nutrients for the sperm cells. This is secreted from the seminal vesicle and prostate…

formulation) to GonaCon-B a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) formulation. Both formulations were created as single dose, multi-year antifertility drugs. “SpayVac has been successfully used as a single-dose, multi-year contraceptive in fallow deer, white-tailed deer, grey seals, and captive feral horses” (Gray et al., 2010). GnRH is a key hormone in triggering ovulation, its release triggers the production of several other hormones that set ovulation in motion. Without this hormone, the…

distinguish the two sexes from each other, but are not involved in reproduction. (Lumen Learning 2017) The initial surge of hormones that start the puberty process, testosterone in boys and estradiol in girls, actually begins at 9 to 10 years in girls and 10 -12 years in boys. This is triggered when the hypothalamus starts releasing large amounts of gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRH) during sleep upon the reactivation…

important hormone that allows the nervous system to function. The endocrine system produces insulin which allows glucose into nerve cells. The pancreas, an organ of the endocrine system, produces insulin according to blood sugar levels. The thyroid gland, another part of the endocrine system, produces calcitonin which the nervous system uses as a key neurotransmitter. The nervous system relates to the endocrine system because the nervous system also contributes to the release of hormones. The…

Especially since most of it has to do with the brain and I love to study the brain. I will cover all the endocrine glands and many of the hormones they produce in this paper. The Endocrine glands carry secretions called hormones that are mediator molecules that are released into certain part of the body to control the cells in that part of the body, most of the hormones are secreted into the interstitial fluid surrounding the secretory cells. The endocrine glands consist of the pituitary,…

survival sex work due to poverty and are commonly abused (often physically) for it. It is also because of that that trans women are more likely to contract HIV than trans men. HIV can also be spread due to the sharing of needles during injection of hormones. It is also not uncommon to hear about transgender people performing “self-surgery” on themselves to remove certain parts of the body, which is a huge risk factor and can come with deadly…

Endometriosis is a disorder in which the endometrium, the tissue that normally resides in the uterus, grows outside of the uterus. The endometrial implant typically grows on the the outer walls of the uterus, the fallopian tubes, the ovaries, the intestines, or the tissue lining the pelvis. Rarely, the endometrial tissue spreads beyond the pelvic region. Despite being outside the uterus, the endometrial tissue behaves as it would normally, meaning that it thickens, breaks down, and bleeds with…

This particular episode of All in the Mind focuses on the hypothesis “Is being gay in your biology?” The research of three scientists focusing on what biological traits are different between gay people and straight people is presented in an easy to understand fashion. The first researcher we come across is Psychologist Dr. Richard A. Lippa. Dr. Lippa is looking for a link between gay people and their personalities by trying to figure out if genes play a role in the interests of gay people. One…

The male reproductive system can be divided into three subdivisions: spermatogenesis, performance of the male sexual act, and regulation of reproductive hormones. The reproductive system consists of the penis, testis, epididymis, and vas deferens (Figure 2). The testis are composed of approximately 900 coiled seminiferous tubules where the spermatozoa are formed. The sperm are then emptied into the six meter…

actually occurred. As Greenspan and Dearborne explain, “Because pubic hair reflects the presence of androgens (male hormones) and the first true sign of puberty in girls is estrogen secretion, it is inaccurate to associate pubic hair with puberty in a girl” (Greenspan and Dearborne, p. 50). Additionally, the authors explain that the…
