adjacent epididymis and testis and possibly a reactive hydrocele, resulting in the misdiagnosis of acute epididymitis or epididymoorchitis. Torsion of the appendage is a self-limited condition that responds best to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and comfort measures such as limited activity and a warm compress. As the appendage infarcts and necroses, the pain resolves. Such torsion can recur because five appendages potentially may experience torsion (appendix testis, appendix epididymis, paradidymisorgan
urethra and out of the penis. Making the urinary system for the mink very similar to that of the humans. The male urogenital system consists of a penis, tests, epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, urethra, prostate, and accessory glands. While the mink’s urogenital system consist of a penis, baculum, testicles, scrotum, epididymis, vas deferens, urethra, and semen. The testes are the primary reproductive organs in the male; they are responsible for the production of sperm. The testes are

the male body it helps develop sex organs, a deeper voice, and facial hair (Khalid, 2013). Cancer or a genetic disorder in males is the most common thing that cause the reductions of testosterone production in the body. Behind the testes is the epididymis which lets sperm go through the vas deferens from the testes (Dictionary, 2014). It looks like leach the way it is position right on the testes but it is thinner. When sperm is produces the ...
Figure 1: Tongue (100x: H&E)- Foliate papillae are located on the sides towards the back of the tongue. These papillae are parallel ridges that are lined with stratified squamous epithelium, and separated by mucosal clefts. Within each cleft sit taste buds that are oval in shape and extend through the epithelium. Underneath the epithelium is a layer of loose connective tissue. Lingual serous glands are present in the connective tissue beneath the papillae, and secrete a fluid that is composed
1.0 Introduction The similarities and differences between the dog and the lizards’ digestive and reproductive systems are explored within this essay. 2.0 The dog’s digestive system The dogs’ digestive system mainly consists of 15 different parts. These are the oral cavity, oesophagus, diaphragm, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, duodenum, jejunum and ileum, transverse colon, ascending colon, descending colon, caecum, anal canal and the rectum (Aspinall and Cappello, 2009). Each of these play
is to produce semen to fertilize the egg. When this egg grows for about 9 months, it is born into the world. Without one or the other, a baby cannot be made. The Male Reproductive system consist of various parts, including Testes, Testosterone, Epididymis, Vas deferens, Semen, Sperm, Prostate , Urethra, Penis (shaft & glanz), Seminiferous tubules, Seminal vesicles, Bladder. Below is a description of the path a sperm goes
The Human Reproductive System The Female Reproductive System consists of the Female sex cells, Vagina, Labia, Clitoris, Urethra, Hymen, Uterus, Cervix, Fallopian tubes, Ovaries, Estrogen, and Progesterone. The female sex cells, otherwise known as ovum, which are created by the ovaries, combines with male sperm, give a fertilized egg a home, and create an embryo. The vagina, also known as the birth canal, joins to the bottom of the uterus (cervix) and it holds male gametes during sex and provides
The reproductive systems are based off of the goal to create offspring. Both the male and the female reproductive systems, although fueled by a similar goal, have different components and structures. Both systems are very complex in their own way, making it important for one to understand how each of the systems and their various processes work. Knowing the processes and components of the male and female reproductive systems will aid all people in their life, sometime or another. It’s important to
The Female Reproductive System parts are gametes, which is a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in several reproductions to form a zygote. Egg is a person possessing a specified quantity. Ovum is a mature female reproductive cell especially of a human or other animal that van divide to give rise to an embryo usually only after fertilization by a male cell. Vaginal is a muscular tube leading from the external genitals to the cervix of the
weeks, 1st control, 2nd E (63mg/kg), 3rd CA (25mg/kg), 4th E+CA and 5th E as prophylactic one week before E+CA treatment. So CA used as a positive control compound with antiandrogenic activity with proposed testicular oxidant. The body, testes, epididymis and vas deferens weights were recorded. Sperm count, nitric oxide (NO), calcium ion (Ca2+) and malondialdhyde (MDA) contents in addition to superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities were determined in testicular tissues
I was born in the testicle along with millions of other sperm. We each have one goal to create a human child. There is one problem. To create a human child we need an egg. An egg is found in a female human. I am in male human who calls himself Mark. Mark is 31 year old male who has been married a female human named Faith for awhile now. I am hoping that they will want to have a child soon. One day Mark and Faith decided that today was the day. They wanted to have a child. Finally! The day I had
• Try to find the soft rope-like structure called epididymis. It is located on the back of the testicles. The odd shape of this structure can often lead people to consider it to be an irregular mass on the testicles. However, if you locate this structure, you will spot an irregular mass more easily. This
The Reproductive System. The Reprodructive system or genital system is a system of sex organs within an organism which work together for the purpose of sexual reproductive. A human has 46 chromosomes in each cell except sex cells. A person recieve 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 chromosomes from the father . The mother has X chromosome and the father has Y chromosome . XY chromosomes are also found in other mammals , some insects and some plants . Now let’s talk about the male reproductive
Sex determination is decided by the 23rd pair of chromosomes commonly known as the sex chromosomes. Males have XY as their 23rd pair and females have XX. A female gamete, the ovum, can only receive only the X chromosome and the male gamete, the spermatozoon can receive either the X or the Y chromosome when meiosis occurs. Therefore the male sperm is responsible for the sex determination of the baby. Example: Figure 1: a Punnet square showing that there is an equal opportunity for a foetus to
Ch. 10, Infertility O – The topic of infertility and the treatments of infertility are in on the rise, however, there is still a stigma against these treatments and non-traditional pregnancies. A few of these being artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, and surrogate parenting. Artificial insemination is when the sperm is inseminated in the women without vaginal intercourse. This process is used by both heterosexual and homosexual couples. In vitro fertilization also known as the test
Urethritis is a condition that affects the urethra. The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder so that it can be expelled from the body. In males semen also passes through this tube. This can cause the urethra to become irritated and inflamed. Pain with urination is the most common symptom of urethritis. The main cause of urethritis is normally an infection. It can usually be cured with antibiotics. It has been found that both males and females can develop urethritis. However, females
In today’s society, about seven billion humans are present on Earth, but these individuals did not just magically appear. For this to be possible, a sperm cell must accompany an egg cell, also known as fertilization to create a human being. Sperm and egg cells are created through meiosis, which is a nuclear division that ends in haploid cells that creates mature gametes. Once completed, the sperm begins as a round cell and then generates a tail which gives it mobility to swim to an egg and fertilize
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection. The infection is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhea. It is described by a discharge and a burning sensation while urinating. Gonorrhoea is not typically a dangerous infection unless left untreated. In this case, the infection can cause pelvic inflammatory diseases and put the person at a high risk of infertility. (Rathus, Nevid, Fichner-Rathus, & McKay, 2015, p.360) The bacterium that causes gonorrhea requires a moist, typically warm, environment
through meiosis to firm four haploid spermatids. In the seminiferous tubules the cells move towards the centre of the tubules as they undergo shape changes. The cells go through a spermatocyte and a spermatid stage and move into the lumen then the epididymis where they finally become mobile (textbook). Oogenesis Oogenesis is the formation of female sex cells, oogonia (eggs). Oogonia begin in the ovary as a diploid cell and then move to the stroma where they are transformed into primary follicles.
