Mumps is a viral infection. The primary symptom of mumps is visible swelling of the parotid gland on either side of the face. However, the virus can also infiltrate the male reproductive system, causing the testes to atrophy. Some effects include oligospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm in semen), and asthenospermia (reduced sperm movement).
Research treatment options for reduced sperm movement. Describe one option that can be used to aid successful fertilization and explain why it helps.

- Arrange the cytoplasmic rearrangement of the fertilized egg of the tunicate, Styela partita in consecutive order. (I) After sperm entry into the vegetal hemisphere of the oocyte, the yellow cortical cytoplasm and the clear cytoplasm derived from the breakdown of the oocyte nucleus contract vegetally toward the sperm.(II) Before fertilization, yellow cortical cytoplasm surrounds the gray (yolky) inner cytoplasm. (III) The final position of the yellow cytoplasm marks the location where cells give rise to tail muscles.(IV) As the sperm pronucleus migrates animally toward the newly formed egg pronucleus, the yellow and clear cytoplasm move with it.arrow_forwardTrue or False: Neonatal hyaline membrane disease is only seen in premature infantsarrow_forwardGive the correct answer to the question.

Have you ever watch an old movie or television show where the expression "the rabbit died" meant that a woman was pregnant? The "rabbit test" was developed 1931. The test involved injecting urine of the woman being tested into a female rabbit and then examining the rabbit's ovaries a few days later. A hormone in the urine of a pregnant woman would cause follicles in the rabbit's ovaries to mature and release the ovum. The injected rabbit had to be surgically opened to examine the ovaries for the structure remaining after ovulation and would die whether the woman was pregnant or not. Today's pregnancy tests do not require the killing of an animal, and results are determined in a matter of minutes rather than days. However, the same hormone involves in both tests. Identify the row that depicts the hormones present in the urine of a pregnant woman, the female reproductive hormone that it mimics in early pregnancy, and the…arrow_forward
