Are you experiencing challenges with ovulation? You can try out ovulation drugs. Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from your ovary. The released egg travels through the fallopian tube waiting for fertilization to take place. Every month, an egg develops and matures in one of the ovaries. Your uterine lining has thickened in preparation for the fertilized egg. If conception occurs, that’s what you have been waiting for, congratulation. On the other hand, if you didn’t conceive, your…
Epigenetics. While it has been shown that the inheritance of specific genes can cause eating disorders, the reverse is also true. According to a Canadian study, the onset of eating disorders such as bulimia, especially when they are long term, can actually cause changes in the very expression of one’s genes. These changes can be passed down to progeny and increase their likelihood of developing an eating disorder as well. This phenomenon is known as epigenetics, and its biological mechanisms…
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…
similarity is, once puberty hits, gametes begin to mature, gonadotrophin (GnRH), follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) are released. When all these hormones are released gamete and sexual maturation begins. Some external anatomical structures that males and females have are; the male and female organs both are the common function, ovaries & testis both produce gametes & sex hormones, clitoris & glans of penis are both sexual simulants & contain nervous system axons,…
1. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) - A. production site - anterior pituitary gland B. target organs - female ovaries and male testes C. general effects - females (supports the development of follicles in ovaries, which will then produce estrogen. The follicle will get larger as a result of FSH and will release different estrogen types.) Males (used for the formation of sperm). 2. Luteinizing Hormone (LH) - A. production site - anterior pituitary gland B. target organs - female ovaries and…
religious, philosophical, linguistic, traditional and other cultural forces for many years. On the other hand, sex is one's biological classification as male or female. The real difference is the reproductive body parts, their function, and corresponding hormones.…
estrogen hormones by doing a blood test. Sometimes an endometrial biopsy is done, endometrial biopsy is a test in which a sample of tissue from the lining of the uterus is taken and examined under a microscope for any abnormal cells or signs of cancer. Doctors also asked their patients for a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), this test is done to check for blockages in the fallopian tubes or other problem in the uterus and the fallopian tubes. Often, it is done as part of an infertility evaluation. It…
muscle and to burn fat, you need to keep the level of testosterone high. This hormone is responsible not only for increasing the muscle mass, the bone density, the physical and the mental energy, and the strength but also for preventing fertility problems and hair loss issues. As you age, especially after the age of 30, the level of testosterone starts to decrease. One of the main reasons for the decline of this hormone is poor nutrition. If you want to significantly increase the testosterone…
What is menopause? Menopause is something women typically get when they are 40. Menopause is defined as 12 months after your last menstrual period and end of menstrual cycles. Menopause is a normal condition that women experience as they age. No more pregnancy because there is no more period to worry about. Ovaries no longer produce enough estrogen to continue menstrual period. A woman is natural born with a limited number of eggs, which are stored in the ovaries. Menopause happens when the…

Hormones play an important role in the health of the reproductive system in males. The hypothalamus…
