How do acrosomes and lysosome differ?
acrosome is a covering on sperm while lysosome is an organelle which is also knwn as suicidal bag
What is the stratum functionalis?
The stratum functionalis is the layer of cells that sloughs off of the uterus during a menstrual cycle...
Can someone who has lost one testicle be a father?
Depends on which testicle....is he in the northern or southern hemisphere?
What is the relationship between the pituitary gland and the ovaries?
The pituitary gland releases hormones (gonadotropins) that control both the reproductive and endocrine function of the ovaries.
What doctor specializes in the female reproductive system?
A doctor who specializes in the female reproductive system is called a gynecologist. This includes the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and diseases related to the female reproductive organs.
Experts used to think that using spermicide with a condom would decrease the pregnancy rate as well as help fight against STIs. However, more recent information indicates that this is not necessarily true and spermicide does not help make condoms more effective.
What is the scope of physiology?
The scope of physiology is in depth because physiology is the study of all of the functions throughout life. Some of the types of physiology are molecular, cellular, and integrative.
What are the important parts of lizards?
The important parts are its ear, mouth, tail, its urinary system, and its reproductive system.
Is it possible to have a freckle in your vagina?
Do you mean in between the labia majora? If you do, then yes, it is both possible and completely normal. However, if it has changed shape, size, or color recently you might what to get it checked out, since it is possible to develop melanoma "down there" too.
Hope that helps!
Is the pelvic bone on a whale really part of the reproductive system?
Yes, it is likely to have at least some residual function or role in the physiology of the whale. Even wisdom teeth in humans, although often detrimental in effect and hardly unmissable, can be said to have a role in our digestive tract. What makes it evidence for common descent is not any presumed function or lack thereof, but the fact that it is morphologically what we should expect it to be if whales descended from land mammals.
Do male sperm cells swim faster?
Studies show that the sperm that produce female offspring (aka girl babies) swim more slowly than the sperm that produce male offspring, but they are also hardier.
This means that "boy sperm" swim fast but die faster and "girl sperm" swim more slowly but last longer.
The "Shettles Method" says that to increase your chances of having a girl, have sex 3 days before you ovulate and to have a boy have sex the day before you ovulate. The theory being that if you have sex earlier, only the "girl sperm" will survive OR if you have sex later, the "boy sperm" will outpace the "girl sperm."
Where do you find answers to the Anatomy Physiology Coloring Workbook for free?
There are a few places you can find Anatomy Physiology Coloring Workbooks But the only way to find it free is to go online and download it.
Does sex effect the heart rate and if so in what way?
Yes it does affect the heart rate. Sex is an extremely physically demanding activity. Some people compare having one round of sex to running around a football ground 3 times which equals running nearly 1 km. So when you indulge yourself in such activity, naturally your heartbeat would go up...
If have a low progestrone level are you able to get pregnant?
yes ofcourse you can get pregnant but u will have to take some medicines which will raise your progesrone level and iT WILL RAISE SOOOOOO FAST SO DONT WORRY SWEETY I WAS IN THE SAME BOAT AND NOW EVERYTHING IS OK AND WISH U LOTS OF BABY DUST.MAI
What is the function of the fimbrae in the female reproductive system?
The fimbrae function to gather the released egg into the fallopian tube. From there, the egg travels to the uterus.
What is the outer parts of the male reproductive system?
The outer parts of the male reproductive system are the penis and the scrotum. The scrotum is the sac that holds the testicles.
Pot relaxes you and your muscles. This includes the muscles supporting your testicles.
What are the functions of rugae in the human body?
Rugae are present in some organs of the human body, and enhance the functions of these organs:
gastric system:
gallbladder;
small intestine;
stomach;
hard palate;
scrotum;
skin, feet, hands, and fingers
urinary bladder;
vagina.
These ridges or folds, increase the elasticity, traction, and surface areas of the organ walls, enabling the organ to exist in minimal space, while retaining an enhanced capacity to extend, or expand, and contract, for functional purposes.
What is unusual about a hyena's reproductive system?
The spotted hyena's reproductive system is extremely unusual in that that externally there seems to be no difference between males and females. Specifically, a female hyena's genitals resemble a male's to the point that unless a hyena is suckling cubs (and is therefore female), it is not possible for the untrained observer to tell the two sexes apart. More specifically:
- The labia (vaginal lips) of the female hyena have grown together and are backed with pads of fat, making them look like a male's scrotum;
- The clitoris of the female hyena has hypertrophied (that is, grown over-sized) to the point it looks like a male's penis, and a large one at that;
- Through muscle control, the female hyena can extend and make rigid her clitoris, mimicking a male's erect penis.
- A urogenital canal runs down the center of the clitoris through which the female urinates, like the male. It is also through this canal that the female takes the male's penis during sex, and through which her cubs pass at birth.
While there are visual cues wildlife biologists working in the field use to sex hyenas-for example, the female's clitoris is thick and terminates in a rounded and blunt tip while the male's penis is thin and terminates in a sharp and wedge-shaped tip-experience and training are required to employ them with any degree of success, and even the most experienced researchers will make an incorrect call at times.
The female hyena's mimicry of male sexual organs has severe consequences for the sexual and reproductive life of the spotted hyena:
- Sex is difficult for spotted hyenas because of this strange anatomy. With the vagina closed off by the pseudo-scrotum, the male must fumble to find the tip of her clitoris. To assist the male, the female can fully retract her clitoris and even widen the opening of her urogenital canal, but it is still several centimeters forward and above where the vagina would be, and on her underside, not her rump. The male must maintain the longest and hardest erection he can to achieve insertion-and that through blind fumbling. Worse, once entry is achieved, in addition to having his penis as far forward as possible, he must point it upwards in order to thrust.
- If sex is bad for the male, birth is worse for the female and potential cubs. The birth of the first cub will tear the clitoris, causing an injury that takes weeks to heal-provided it doesn't kill the mother. Estimates of death from first childbirth run about 10%. The injury and scar widen the birth canal, so subsequent births are easier, but there is still a high rate of death from asphyxiation for cubs at birth when labor times are long.
Why hyenas have such a strange and hazardous reproductive system is unknown. It is thought that some it conferred some evolutionary advantage to the species, but what that advantage is or might have been is currently a subject of debate among scholars studying the spotted hyena.
Why is meiosis so important to sexual reproduction?
Meiosis is what makes us different from each other. Without meiosis, we would all look the same with the same characteristics and personality.
What effects do energy drinks have on the reproductive system?
Energy Drinks like Monster,Red Bull and Mother doesnt effect your Reproductive system.
