Reproductive System

Andrology is the medical study of the male reproductive system. But you will often find it combined into Urology.

The female organ that is small and pear-shaped and expands during pregnancy is the uterus. It is where a fertilized egg implants and grows into a fetus, increasing in size as the pregnancy progresses.

Meiosis and mitosis are types of cell division that involve the replication and division of chromosomes. Meiosis produces sex cells (eggs and sperm) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while mitosis produces identical cells with the same number of chromosomes. Sex cells have either X or Y chromosomes, determining the individual's sex.

Well, fish reproduct externally, while humans reproduct internally, a fish will lay a larger amount of eggs. But the eggs have a lower chance of survival. As a human produces less eggs, with a larger chance of survival.

The female sex cell in animals is called an ovum or egg.

The main purpose of the accessory glands in the male reproductive system is to help the sperm do their job. The other glands secrete substances to help in several ways including, but not limited to:

Balance the acid/base balance in the vagina so that the sperm doesn't die too soon

Provide food for the sperm (fructose) so they can have energy to swim

A clotting agent so that the sperm doesn't drip out too quickly

A an enzyme that later dissolves the clot

You typically inherit 23 chromosomes from your mother and 23 chromosomes from your father, for a total of 46 chromosomes. This combination of chromosomes determines your genetic traits and characteristics.

In women, the reproductive organs are located within the abdominal cavity and pelvis. In men, they are located externally, outside of the abdominal cavity (due to the need for sperm to be maintained at a lower temperature than is present inside the body).

the function of the endometrium is that it is the lining of the uterus. this sheds once a month.
Endometrium has several functions actually. First is of course to serve as a place for an embryo to implant and become nourised by it's rich blood supply. it also has function even in sterilized women. it serves as a lubricating film barrier to keep the uterine walls from adhering to each other. In a nonpregnant uterus the uterine walls touch but do not stick together because of the endometrium. When this has been destroyed by ablation and removed the uterus becomes fibrous and forms adhesions in which it collapses and grows together. To remain healthy, the uterus needs an endometrium of at least 4-5 mm. So regardless of what any doc says it IS needed for uterine health.
yes. that's a name come from valentine day

The female reproductive system is important for producing eggs, releasing hormones like estrogen and progesterone, facilitating fertilization and pregnancy, and supporting the development and birth of offspring. It plays a crucial role in human reproduction and the continuation of the species.

The study of reproductive system of females is called as gynaecology. Central BioHub is a human biospecimen marketplace, it offers thousands of high quality, well-annotated disease samples collected from females diagnosed with different gynaecological disorders.

Males have two different sex chromosomes, X and Y. Each sperm only carries half the amount of chromosomes of normal (non-sex) cells. This is so that when sperm and egg combine, the new organism has the correct number of chromosomes, half from each parent.

So each sperm will carry 22 autosomes (non-sex chromosomes) and either an X or Y chromosome - because this is half the male's genetic information.

In males it is the penis, and testis. the latter external as need to be at a temperature slightly lower than isnide the body.

In females the only external parts are the outer Labia (Latin = lips) forming the opening to the Vagina, which like all the other female reproductive organs, is internal.

The external sac-like structure of the male reproductive system is the scrotum. It functions to support and regulate the temperature of the testes, which is essential for sperm production and quality.

The testes are responsible for producing sperm and the male sex hormone, testosterone. Sperm production occurs in the seminiferous tubules within the testes. Testosterone is important for the development of male reproductive tissues, as well as secondary sexual characteristics like muscle mass and voice deepening.

It is called the vulva, which is literally the opening of the vaginal tract.

The pair of slender ducts are called the fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes. They play a crucial role in transporting eggs from the ovaries to the uterus for fertilization.

Yes, the reproductive system can still function with only one ovary or testicle. The remaining ovary or testicle is usually able to produce enough hormones and gametes for reproduction. However, if both ovaries or testicles are missing, fertility may be affected.

Eggs are stored in the ovaries, which are part of the female reproductive system. Each ovary contains thousands of immature eggs (oocytes) that are released during ovulation and can be fertilized by sperm to form an embryo.

The male reproductive system produces sperm and semen and fertilizes the ovum, and the female reproductive system contains the uterus, which hosts a developing fetus, and the ovaries, which produce egg cells.

An ovary typically releases one egg each month during the reproductive years. The exact number of eggs produced by the ovaries varies but the average woman is born with around 1-2 million eggs. This number decreases over time and by menopause the ovaries may not produce any more viable eggs.

Yes, they are the principle regulators of the male reproductive system. The testes produce sperm cells and also secrete testosterone which gives male sexual characteristics and behavior, including sex drive and the function of the entire male reproductive process.

Those would be spermatozoa, or simple, 'Sperm'.

In the sexual reproduction of plants, the male and female gametes join to form a single fertilized cell called a zygote. This zygote then develops into a new individual plant with a unique collection of genetic material. Many flowering plants are also able to reproduce asexually through structures such as stolons, rhizomes and tubers.
