How is triplets formed?

Triplets can be formed two different ways. 1. The mother produces three eggs, at or near the same time during her cycle, and all of them are fertilized. This would produce three fraternal triplets. 2. The mother produces one egg, which is then fertilized, and the egg splits into three separate embryos. This would produce three identical triplets.


How is the shape of the testes similar to the shape of the ovaries?

Both the testes and ovaries are oval-shaped glands located in the pelvic region. They are both responsible for producing sex hormones and gametes (sperm in testes, eggs in ovaries). Additionally, both organs play a crucial role in the reproductive system of humans and other animals.


Does removal of all your ovaries stop your period?

Actually removal of all your ovaries does stop the period. Without any eggs present, there's no reason for the uterine lining to shed since it is caused by the eggs not being fertilized in time. No eggs in the first place, no need to shed the egg + uterine lining later.


What structures are part of both the endocrine system and reproductive systems?

The ovaries and testes are structures that are part of both the endocrine system and reproductive system. They secrete hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, which play a role in regulating both the reproductive and endocrine systems.

What is the cause of fraternal wins?

Fraternal twins are developed from the fertilization of two separate eggs. In most cases a woman releases one oocyte every month from alternate ovaries. Sometimes an oocyte is released from both ovaries at the same time both of which are fertilized by separate sperm. This results in the development of non-identical (fraternal) twins each having its own placenta for nourishment.

What happens in the ovaries?

Well first let's start off to what they are. Ovaries are "two rounded organs" that are on both sides of the uterus and the contain ova, which are the female reproductive cells. So, every month the ovaries let go ova and it goes through the uterine tubes and gets ready for pregnancy. Unless it is fertilized it gradually disappears along with the extra walls of the uterus built during that process and the walls go out with your menstrual period. So, basically the ovaries hold all the ova and are a big part in your body.
