When considering the benefits of the historical Roe v Wade Supreme Court case, one of the most obvious benefits is one of the most important: women’s health. Women’s reproductive health has been greatly improved through the legalization of abortion made possible because of Roe v Wade. It is important to understand that even before Roe legalized abortion, “many unqualified people set themselves up as abortion providers, using unsafe methods and unsanitary facilities, based solely on their desire…
Abortion is a topic that to this day remains as controversial as it was in 1869 for many Canadians. It still makes headlines when new movements arise, it still is common to hear people trying to persuade others to become pro-choice or pro-life, and it still is something that supposedly needs debated about in Canada’s House of Parliament. Simply put, the importance of having a choice has affected a majority of women throughout Canada as whether one chose to continue with their pregnancy or not,…

7. What hormone does an “ovulation” test probably detect? Why? An “ovulation” test probably detects the ovulating hormone, which is LH. This is because LH triggers ovulation, in which the egg is released from the ovary. LH is also important in the development of the corpus luteum. 8. What are the functions of the uterine tubes? The uterine tubes, or fallopian tubes, receive the ovulated oocyte, allow for the transport of sperm towards the egg, and then they provide a place for…
The video was about two couples who were trying to produce a baby. The video focus on how the sperm reaches the ovaries. Part One: We was introduce to Glen. Every heart beat Glen has 1000 sperm are producing in the testis. Sperm are free-living cells constantly moving. Sperm is one five hundred milliliter long. The testis, where sperm is made, is a round, elongated structure and has a series of tubules. In the video, the “sperm people” in white clothing where in a building waiting. This…
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…
SHORT ANSWER: Using the “Journey of the Sperm” illustration, 1) In the space below, correctly label each structure; 2) In the space below, describe the function of each structure (2.5 pts each) 1. Penile glans: The penile glans is the outermost tip of the penis and is very sensitive to physical stimulation. The glans consists of 4,000 nerves that allow it to be exceptionally sensitive. The female counterpart to the penile glans is the clitoris glans. 2. Vas deferens: The vas deferens allows for…
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…
As women, we all have the possibility of getting pregnant by different means. Whether it is an accident, planned, or even in terrible situations such as rape, getting pregnant can happen to almost every woman. Some of us have dreamed of having a child ever since we were little, while others prayed and swore that they would never have a child. Although some of our dreams do come true when a child comes into our lives, other dreams become crushed by this “gift”. The thought of being pregnant for…
