What are the outcomes if you get kicked in the testicles?

You could loose them altogether or perhaps some tissue can be saved. If you loose them, you will never have children of your own afterwards and you will have to get testosterone replacement treatments. Of course, it will also be very painful.

What does gametogenesis in females do?

Gametogenesis in females is called oogenesis and is the development of unfertilised eggs called ova

The part of the females reproductive system where the egg is fertilized?

The egg departs from the ovary and moves along the Fallopian tube, where it is met by a sperm cell. After fertilisation takes place here, the zygote then continues its journey, before coming to rest in the uterus.

What regulates the production of sperm?

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) causes the Sertoli cells of the testes (which help nurse developing sperm cells). This begins the process of spermatogenesis in the testes.

What would happen if the reproductive system were missing?

That individual wouldn't be able to breed. If it happened to many the species would die out

How would you describe the sexual reproduction process in humans?

There are several events that take place in human reproduction. Specifically, sperm fertilizes an egg, then a zygote forms, and then the zygote grows into an embryo. The embryo will then grow and develop into a fetus, which will then mature into an infant waiting to be born.

The fusion of a ovum and sperm is called?

Fertilization............... is the union of sperm cells and egg cells

Where is the oocyte found?

cryptosporidium spp, has oocyte which is passed in feces.

Can you get pregnant with your own vagina mucus?

No. For you as a human female to become pregnant, male sperm must make it into your uterus, at a time when there is an ovum in your uterus to be fertilized. During sex, the man's ejaculation will insert millions of sperm cells into your vagina, and a fair number of these will make it into the uterus. If there's an ovum present, or if one is released within the next couple of days, you'll be pregnant.

Sex is the process by which humans create new humans, and it is FRIGHTENINGLY efficient.

What is the function of the ureter in the male reproductive system?

In both males and females, the ureter transports urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Can SIDS occur while baby is held by parent?

Back in 1959, Doctors didn't know much about SIDS. What we know now is that SIDS is not survivable. You most likely had an apnea event, you stopped breathing and started breathing again. There is no way to revive a SIDS baby. You were lucky but there is no such thing as a SIDS survivor, unless you are referring to a parent who has survived the loss of their baby.

No, babies do not survive SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

They cannot survive or it wouldn't be sudden infant death.

_______________________________

I disagree. I am a SIDS survivor. When I was 2 months old, my 9 yo brother was watching me while my mom cooked dinner. He yelled, mom, mom, she's turning blue! My mom came, picked me up, patted me on the back and I started breathing again. She went back to cooking and again my brother yelled, mom, mom, she's turning blue. She took me to the hospital, where they said I survived crib death, now called SIDS. This was in 1959.

Many children have survived turning blue for reasons that were not explained, or explainable, at the time. By definition, sudden infant death syndrome is how we explain actual deaths after we rule out all known causes. As we get smarter, the category gets smaller, since we can explain a lot more of the causes of babies turning blue than we could when you and I were young. This will keep happening, and someday, with any luck, we'll find out what's killing the others and learn to treat it, too. Glad you're still around, though!

I also disagree. I have survived SIDS. Ten minutes after i was born, in 1993, i died in my aunties arms, and i do not know how they revived me. But i do know that i was to lay at an angle where my head was almost facing the floor and my feet were to the ceiling, for 14 months. I didn't turn blue or anything, i just died. I do not have any medical problems that i know of, so far. And i hope i never will.

I HAVE A CHILD THAT SURVIVED SIDS SHE IS NOW 15,, SHE SUFFERED A BRAIN INJURY FROM THE ORDEAL,, AND WAS IN VERY CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER IT HAPPENED FOR THREE MONTHS,, BUT SHE IS AN AMAZING KID,,

Hi, it is possible to survive sids. One of my friends have and he is living very well!

What are the causes of fluid in the fallopian tubes?

Which structures are not apart of the female reproductive system?

Aircraft wings, rivers and mountains are not part of the male reproductive system.

What are the accessory structures of the male reproductive system?

Bulbourethral glands are the smallest accessory glands in case of males. They lubricates the urethra.

How can male infertility be diagnosed?

If you are unable to become pregnant after one year of unprotected intercourse, or six months of unprotected intercourse if you are a woman over 35, you and your partner should have a full physical and medical evaluation. Several blood tests are available to determine if you, your partner, or both of you have a problem that is causing infertility.

FSHFollicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) helps control a woman's menstrual cycle and the production of eggs. In men, it regulates the production and transportation of sperm.

For women, a FSH test is done on the third day of the menstrual cycle and is used to evaluate egg supply. For men, the test is used to determine sperm count.

EstradiolEstradiol is an important form of estrogen. An estradiol test is used to measure a woman's ovarian function and to evaluate the quality of the eggs. Like FSH, it is done on the third day of a woman's menstrual cycle. Luteinizing Hormone LevelIn women, luteinizing hormone (LH) is linked to ovarian hormone production and egg maturation. In men, it stimulates the hormone testosterone which affects sperm production.

An LH test is used to measure a woman's ovarian reserve (egg supply) and a man's sperm count. It is done during a woman's menstrual cycle to see if she is ovulating

Serum ProgesteroneProgesterone is a female hormone produced by the ovaries during ovulation. It causes the endometrial lining of the uterus to get thicker, making it receptive for a fertilized egg.

A serum progesterone test is used to determine if ovulation is occurring. Since progesterone levels increase towards the end of a woman's cycle, the test is done during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (just before her period starts).

ProlactinThe hormone prolactin is made by the pituitary gland and causes milk production.

In women, a prolactin test is done to find out why they are not menstruating, or why they are having infertility problems or abnormal nipple discharge. The test is done in men when there is a lack of sexual desire, difficulty getting an erection, or if there might be a problem with the pituitary gland.

AndrogenTestosterone is probably the most well-known androgen and it affects the sexual functioning of both men and women.

In men, an androgen test is used to find the cause of a low sex drive, the inability to get an erection, or infertility. In women, it is used to determine the cause of irregular periods or a low sex drive.

What is the function of the areola in the female reproductive system?

In humans both sexes have areolas. They are just more pronounced in females as are the nipples.

How important is the reproductive system in female?

Well there is the menstural period that is where if the egg that travels to the uterus is not fertilized by the males sperm that is when the body knows that it is not needed and discards itself down the vagina creating the blood that comes out this is your mensteral period :)

Can gay males reproduce?

Neither two men, nor two women, can have biological children with each other. To make a baby, you need sperm from a male, and an egg cell from a female.

Two gay men (or two gay women) can adopt children (in places where it is legal for gays to adopt children). A lesbian couple can also choose artificial insemination. One of the women would be inseminated with sperm from a donor male.

Will you get pregnant by sticking your fingers in your vagina?

it takes sperm and a egg to get pregnant and none of those can be find in your colon so no.

Hair like structures that sweep the ovum into either of the two fallopian tubes?

at the end of the fallopian tubes, you have the fimbriae. They actively pull the ovum inside the fallopian tubes. Inside the fallopian tubes you have the cilia to to push the ovum towards the uterus.
