Reproductive system

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)…

The testes contain seminiferous tubules, composed of several hundred tightly coiled tubules lined with germs cells. These tubules serve as the site of sperm production. Inside of these tubules spermatogonia progress to spermatocytes, then spermatids, and finally sperm. Also inside, sustentacular cells serve as a means of support. These cells control the environment by removing wastes, providing nutrients, and providing antibody protection as well as regulating sperm production. Interstitial…

United States alone (Hayes et al, 2010). Atrazine is used so frequently because it is cheap and it increases crop yield. However, it has been found that 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…

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…

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…

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…

The Forgotten Voice: The Importance of Reproductive Justice for Women of Color and Other Unrepresented Groups The desire to conceive and start a family is a fundamental right for any woman within any region of the world. The right and ability to have children is defined by reproductive justice, which connects basic human rights, health, and sexuality to reproductive health issues concerning women, families, and communities of color. Reproductive justice stems from the issues that women of color…

taught the “sexual scripts” (pg. 313) that we are expected to follow and this largely dictates how we feel we should conduct our intimate relationships. Sexual scripts in many societies are largely “heteropatriarcical” meaning they are based on a system of heterosexual male dominance (pg. 354). Tight control over what is sexually acceptable can be harmful for the development of healthy intimate relationships especially for those who do not fall within the traditional heterosexual gender binary.…

Women’s sexual health and reproductive rights have been a hot button issues for decades, if not centuries. Women constantly battle for equal treatment in these areas, but why? An even better question to ask is, why haven’t they received it yet? This question becomes especially valid when one reflects on the many ways in which religion has swayed our ethical beliefs. Women’s sexual and reproductive health is directly tied to many basic human rights, including the right to life, the right to be…

1 in 3 women will have an abortion within their lifetime. Feminists of the late 1960’s early 1970’s worked for reproductive rights. And on January 22, 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court, affirms the legality of a woman 's right to have an abortion under the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution. Once abortion became legal, people of the 70’s had easy access, however since then accessibility has decreased. Controversy, forces unhealthy abortions, the violation of fundamental human rights, disrupting…
