All living organisms, including humans, reproduce to ensure the survival of their species. The male and female reproductive systems are essential for reproduction. The main purpose of the male reproductive system is to produce and deliver sperm into the female reproductive system. The main purpose of the female reproductive system is to produce egg cells and to nurture a fertilized egg so it is able to develop into a fetus. The male and female reproductive systems are distinct from one another…

Cancer is an abnormal growth of tissues in the body. The cancer cells proliferate at a rate higher than the normal rate of cell division of the normal body cells. This results in the cancerous tissues being larger than the surrounding normal tissues. The tissues therefore competes with the normal tissues for blood supply of oxygen and nutrients, therefore depriving them these essential elements. For this research, I will talk about the Prostatic carcinoma. The prostate gland is a pear shaped…

a. The hormone that is evident in Maria’s urine is called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Human chorionic gonadotropin is a glycoprotein composed of 237 amino acids (Primal Pictures). After fertilization, the egg moves through the fallopian tubes and into the uterus where it attaches to the wall of the uterus. Shortly after the implantation of the fertilized egg, the growing placenta starts to produce and release hCG into the bloodstream and urine (American Pregnancy Association). The…
