Ovary

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders that is known to affect women during reproductive years. This disorder is characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation, and typical morphologic changes of the ovaries (Pan, Chen, Tsao, & Chen, 2015). PCOS is estimated to have a prevalence of 5%-10% of reproductive aged women (Grossman & Porth). The symptoms that accompany this disorder include menstrual irregularity, obesity, infertility, and androgen…

at the time, and the ongoing influence IVF has today. IVF is an abbreviation of in-vitro fertilisation, a process which involves fertilising eggs with sperm outside of the body. IVF involves a series of steps. These steps include, stimulating the ovaries using…

uncommon hair is thick in diameter and much darker than the rest of the hair on the body. The condition known as hirsutism is currently not preventable with modern technology. However, if an individual is overweight or may potentially have polycystic ovary syndrome, losing weight could most likely improve the situation. This would assist because a larger body mass would equate to a higher amount of androgens released. This eventually leads to an increase in hair growth in the…

into the woman’s uterus using a very fine tube (Beep, 2012). The IVF procedure is taken over several weeks, with multiple procedures being undertaken. First the ovaries have to be stimulated, then the eggs are collected, the eggs are fertilized outside of the body and the successful embryo is placed back into the body. To stimulate the ovaries hormones are given to produce more than the usual one egg per cycle. The eggs are monitored by blood tests and ultrasounds to make sure they are collected…

Androgenic Alopecia – Basic Cause of Hair Loss Androgenic Alopecia is commonly referred as Male Pattern Baldness in men and Female Pattern Baldness in women. It is the most prevalent cause of hair loss in both men and women but the pattern of hair loss differs in both the sexes. Men usually experience baldness from above the head temples, creating an M-shaped hairline. Hair starts thinning from the centre, leading to partial and sometimes complete baldness. While in women, hairline rarely…

five organs that work together, and they include: ovary, fallopian tube, uterus, cervix, and the vagina. The man’s Reproduction System contains the following parts are: prostate, urethra, penis, and testicles. In a male, sperm forms in the testicles and travels through the urethra to the penis and out of the body. A woman then takes in the sperm which travels through the vagina, through the uterus which goes to the fallopian tube ending in the ovaries. This makes fertilization occur which…

putrescine treated well-developed flowers displayed stamen and carpel that matured well. They also had normal size ovary. In comparison, the untreated flowers showed short stamen and large ovary. The putrescine treated malformed flowers grew like normal flowers with “functional normal-sized ovary.” However, the malformed flowers that were untreated displayed short stamen and large ovary. The overall conclusions made by the authors of the manuscript are that the application of putrescine either…

especially important so you can be informed. Unlike the IUD, the birth control pill suppresses ovulation. The hormones in the pill—sometimes estrogen and progestin together, sometimes just progestin—stop your eggs from leaving your ovaries. No eggs leaving your ovaries means no opportunity for fertilization, which keeps you from getting pregnant (Teen Vogue). If you’re specifically using birth control for something besides getting pregnant the pill is better. Most women are prescribed…

Although, what little symptoms there are, are also symptoms of less serious conditions. Body System Most Affected: My specific cancer cell affects the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries (small oval shaped organs), Fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina. The main function of the ovaries is to release female hormones, regulate the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, and support the development of secondary female characteristics, secondary characteristics are difference in…

could start as early as four months of age. These behaviours include being more vocal than usual, restless and having an increased appetite. She may also show behaviours such as rolling on the floor and rubbing against objects. During this stage, the ovaries start to form follicles. Unlike in dogs, the vulva of the queen will only enlarge slightly and will appear slightly moist, but will not discharge. The follicle stimulating hormone, oestrogen and other hormones will help the development of…
