What was the Corpus Hippocraticum?
The Corpus Hippocraticum is the Latin for the Hippocratic Collection, or Hippocratic Canon also known as The Hippocratic Corpus, it is a collection of around seventy early medical works from Ancient Greece associated with the Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates and his teachings. They are, however, completely different in content, age and style, and are largely of unknown authorship. None of the volumes in the Corpus have been proved to be written by Hippocrates hand itself, though some sources say otherwise. Instead, the works were probably produced by students and followers of his, it is thought that there are 19 different authors, and thought to be written ages after his death.
What is a mucineous cytadenoma?
* mucinous cystadenoma is a multilocular, usually benign, tumor produced by ovarian epithelial cells and having mucin-filled cavities. *
Mucinous cystadenomas make up 15-20% of all ovarian tumors. They often become very large and can extend up into the abdomen. * Mucinous cystadenomas are divided into three categories: * * * * Survival is largely dependent on the histology of the tumor, with a 10 year survival rate of 100% for benign tumors, 60% for borderline tumors, and only 34% for the malignant subtype. There is some difference in ages of the peak incidence for the different subtypes with considerable overlap as described below. In general, benign tumors tend to present earlier, while malignant tumors are often seen later in life.
Malignant mucinous cystadenoms are rare. kiruba
Does having a blocked falopian tube make it hard to urinate also?
Fallopian tubes do not interfere with urination, so a blocked tube will not make it hard to urinate.
Is it possible to finger the fallopian tubes?
Normally, the fallopian tubes can't be felt.
At least through the vagina by "fingering". You can perhaps palpate them through the pelvic wall.
What part of the female corresponds to the bulbourethral glands of the male?
Bartholin's gland ----- a pair of vestibular VESTIBULAR GLANDS corresponds to the bulourethral glands in males
Do you have a period every other month when you've had a fallopian tube removed?
You will still have a period every month with one Fallopian tube.
What is the male gonad and where is it located?
The male gonad is the testicle. It is located in the scrotum, an external sac.
My moms gone now where do babys come from?
For humans, baby is made when a male's sperm meets the female's egg. The egg attaches in the woman's uterus or womb where it grows into a fetus. When the fetus is ready to be born, it makes its way to the outside through the woman's vagina. Then, when born, the fetus is called a baby.
Those sound like very very serious signs of testicular cancer. I would suggest you do this immediatly. Go to a walk in clinic or your doctor and tell them those symptoms. They will exam your testicles, give you a blood test, and probably check your glands in your throat. Your glands become inflamed from certain cancers. Then they will send you for a ultrasound. This examines your testicle like they examine a baby in the womb. They can see masses on the testicle by using this machine. From there your either fine, or if you do have testicular cancer they will remove the testicle and you will probably be out of the hospital in 2-4 days. Either way you have no reason to worry...testicular cancer is actually just about the easiest cancer to treat and has a very good success rate. Good luck!
Why does sperm look like liquid?
Because it has to go into the woman and sperm is microscopic. If it was not liquid it would be painful lol.
How is the reproductive system affected by AIDS?
AIDS affects the body as a whole, not particularly the sex organs. The virus just enters the fluids and makes it possible to spread it to your partners.
Name the structures of the male reproductive system that sperm do not travel through?
The structures of the male reproductive system that sperm do not travel through include Cowpter's gland and the seminal vessel
What is another name for a barrel organ?
Some people wrongly call it a hurdy-gurdy - but a genuine hurdy-gurdy is a stringed instrument played by rotating a rosined wheel on the strings, individual notes being obtained by keys. What is usually called a barrel organ is in fact a barrel piano and has strings and keys. Confusing isn't it? An actual barrel organ has organ pipes and bellows may also called a street organ and is much smaller than a barrel piano.
Nowadays you can buy or make one but it will work with a punched roll like a player piano or even a midi interface rather than the bulky, and very difficult to make, barrel.
Where did the fertilised egg develop before the baby was born?
The egg is fertilized in one of the fallopian tubes and instantly begins to develop there. But, while developing it continues to travel down that tube and into the uterus. In the uterus it sticks to and becomes implanted in the lining of the uterus, where it finishes development.
Biotechnology in dairy or animal production?
Biotechnology has boosted the agricultural industry dramatically, it is defined as the application of chemical, physical and engineering principle to the biological systems.
It ranges from the manipulation of the genome to the use of vaccines, therefore, offering significant opportunities for the improvement of the impact of agricultural production on the environment. These applications will assist the reduction of dependence of agri-chemicals by producing animals and plants that are pest/disease resistant. Biotechnology will also improve the ability of vaccines or even produce milk that will boost human immunity against bacterial infections.
The use of biotechnology in the agriculture industry provides excellent benefits to human medicine through the mass production of proteins that will be able to control bleeding, dissolve blood clots during cardiac arrests, and act as a blood thinner.
Major breakthroughs have been anticipated in the future which include, abilities to turn genes on and off, the development of feeds that will be capable of enhancing nutritional values; vaccines being delivered through plants, and the advancement of xenotransplantation (the use of animals as a source of organs, tissues and cells for cross-specie transplant).
I hope that this helps you, if there are any further questions feel free to ask!
Which organs transports sperm from epididymis?
"The vas deferens (plural: vasa deferentia), also called ductus deferens..."
Ejected through the Urethra from the penis.
A corpus is a collection of texts on a computer - basically a database of language. Every word in a corpus is tagged by its formal category (e.g. singular common noun, modal auxiliary verb) so that linguists can distinguish usage patterns and analyse the results.
There are a couple of corpora available freely online: The British National Corpus (http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/) and the Corpus of American English (http://www.americancorpus.org/).
In an organism that reproduces sexually, new life begins when a male and female sex cell come into contact with each other and the male cell fertilizes the female cell.
