    Sperm Cell Journey

    • 777 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The sperm cell makes it journey through the body to make it to the egg. This article discus the journey this sperm cell will make to get to the egg to fertilize it. It starts with talking about the cell and how it works. As it says in the article “The sperm starts out as a round, immobile cell. An important structure, the "acrosomal body," that will eventually develop highly erosive enzymes--able to dissolve the membranes around other cells--is made by Sertoli cells at the newly-developed head of the sperm and sealed in a protective coat.” When the sperm fuses with the egg, which also has undergone divisions within the mother's ovary, the full complement of 46 chromosomes will be present. Big amounts of cellular fluid within the sperm, called…

    There was no significant difference in testosterone concentration between the two groups, only numerical differences; testosterone levels did increase as the months passed and coming closer to the breeding season. Cortisol levels were also not different throughout the study except for August and October. Testicle size was different between the groups with the HS group having severe testicular degeneration at the germ line with no impact on somatic (sertoli and leydig) cells. It was concluded…

    A. Size and Structure - sperm, the smallest cell within the human body, are only a few micrometers long. It is composed of a head, midpiece, and tail. Within the head are the nucleus, condensed DNA containing 23 chromosomes, and the acrosome. The acrosome is located at the end of the head and is considered a modified lysozome containing digestive enzymes that are capable of breaking through the outer layer of an egg. The midpiece of the sperm contains mitochondria that produce the energy for the…

    motor proteins attached to the vesicles. Microtubules can also expand or shrink in length in order to establish dynamic structures that can efficiently change the internal organization of the cell, and capture organelles through the cytosol. Intermediate filaments are made up of the protein keratin. Their primary function is to strengthen the internal structure of a cell. Microfilaments are the smallest among the three cytoskeletal filaments. They consist of protein actin. Microfilaments are…

    In Aristotle’s view, everything in this world can be categorized. Living beings include plants and animal. The plant has nutritive soul and the animal process both nutritive soul and perceptive soul. If we discuss animal further, we can divide animal into rational animal, which is human, and non-rational animal. The essential feature of “being an animal” is perception. From the Aristotle Introductory Reading: “413b2: What makes something an animal is primarily perception.” Perception is…

    Genetic Engineering is the modification of an organism 's genetic composition by artificial means, often involving the transfer of specific traits, or genes, from one organism into a plant or animal of an entirely different species. With this new, rapidly growing, technology we are now able to do things that we once thought were impossible. In Ethics and the New Genetics, the Dalai Lama addresses problems that we need to consider as we continue to explore this microscopic world that we have…

    evolutionary time that has occurred. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are in a class of proteins called molecular chaperones. (Kiang, J.; G, Tsokos. 1998). They are present in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, in the cytosol, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and the nucleus. In humans they have a relatively long half-life of about 2 days (Baneyx, F. 2008). HSP70 are a specific type which are normally found in very low amounts within a cell, they can be expressed in response to external stimuli.…

    In the case of a missing limb, the scientists would take stem cells from the patient and us it for the base of the new limb. If Humans mastered cloning then they could use that technology and the patient’s stem cells to construct a new arm, leg, ear, or whatever was missing without worrying too much about the patient’s body rejecting the foreign limb. In the case of organs the process would be more or less the same, if someone was dying of liver cancer, it would be possible to take out his…

    mitochondria is one of the most interesting components of the eukaryotic cell. Endosymbiosis is the term modern scientists use for how the mitochondria came to be. Symbiosis translates from Greek to English as “living” “together.” Constrantin Mereschkowsky, known as the founding father of the theory of endosymbiosis, was one of people who started the concept of endosymbiosis, although he had called it “symbiogenesis,” defining it as: “the origin of organisms through the combination and…
