female urogenital tract. Patients are usually asymptomatic until menarche. After menarche patients present with acute abdominal pain. During embryogenesis, the Mullerian (paramesonephric) ducts represent the primordial components of the female reproductive tract and differentiate into the fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix and the upper part of the vagina. Nondevelopment or defects of the Mullerian ducts consisting of: (a) agenesis or hypoplasia; (b) defect of the vertical fusion; or (c)…
granted and the opportunities that are accessible to me. Although female sports have come a long way, some improvements still need to be made when compared to our male counterparts. Hence, I did not completely understand that less than a hundred years ago, women were not even allowed to play sports for fear of it damaging their reproductive organs. Today, society has accepted women's individual and team sports in many settings and different levels such as collegiate and international. The…
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 male testes C. general effects - females (triggers ovulation…
animals and plants. Animals and plants are sister taxa, meaning that they branch off from eukaryote, at the same point. I find these two to be the most closely related, for this reason. Just like we have a reproductive, cardiovascular and digestive system, so does the coyote. The reproductive system consists of the mouth, throat, liver, pancreas, stomach, large and small intestine and colon. Food will be chewed and then swallowed. It will then travel the very long way through the throat, to the…
Before I start typing this information about this lizard.

1. Explain the roles of hormones in sexual development. Hormones arouse cells and organs to specific activities and influence the way we look, feel, develop, and behave. 2. Describe the anatomy and physiology of the male and female reproductive systems. The visible part of the male sexual anatomy are the penis and the scrotum, the pouch that contains the testes. The testes makes testosterone and sperm. Immature sperm is stored in the epididymis. Inside the body are several structures involved…
know that humans have 12 human major body systems? The 12 body systems are the integumentary, lymphatic and immunity, skeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, endocrine, muscular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, female reproduction system, male reproduction system. The function of the integumentary system is to protect body and help to change temperature for body temperature in climates such as hot and cold weathers. The function of the lymphatic and immunity system is the interstitial fluid move…
dictated. Steinem proposes that “the characteristics of the powerful, whatever they may be, are thought to be better than the characteristics of the powerless”(pg.209). Menstruating would no longer be connected to impurity or weakness if it were a male trait. It is only connected to these things because it is associated to the less powerful sex. The author claims that if men where to menstruate it “would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event”(pg. 209) I have to agree with her when…
atrazine in levels even as low as 2 ppb (parts per billion) can have adverse effects on the reproductive systems of many vertebrates, which includes humans (Hayes et al, 2010). According to Hayes et al’s research (2010), 10% of male African clawed frogs that were induced with 2.5 ppb of Atrazine became females. These feminized African clawed frogs were able to become pregnant, but all of their offsprings were male because the original…
