Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The term parturition reflects the movement of the fetus and its related membranes from the maternal to the external environment. The parturition is also known as labor. A normal pregnancy remains for forty weeks from the first day of the last menstrual period to the birth of a baby. Pregnancy is divided into three stages, also known as trimesters.

Conditions that cause the fallopian tubes to be narrower than normal may result in:
Implantation of a fertilized ovum within the tube.
More rapid propulsion of the ovum through the tube.
Increased likelihood of pregnancy during each cycle.
Excessive cramping and bleeding during menstruation .
The primary purpose of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is to stimulate the :
Breakdown of the endometrium in the menstrual flow .
Development of the woman's breasts for lactation .
Secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH ) from the anterior pituitary gland .
Growth of pubic and axillary hair .
When the fetus is fully developed and takes up the maximum amount of space in the uterus, the pressure that it inflicts upon the cervix activates stretch receptors to send a signal to the hypothalamus (a structure within the brain). The brain responds by producing oxytocin, which is then released by the pituitary gland (an endocrine organ in the brain). Oxytocin travels through the bloodstream; when it reaches the uterus, it signals through myometrial (uterine smooth muscle) oxytocin receptors. Activation of the oxytocin receptors on myometrial tissue causes a signaling cascade that results in the cell producing prostaglandins that facilitate myometrial contraction (Figure 2).. Contraction of myometrial tissue then reduces the intrauterine space, causing the fully developed fetus to inflict more pressure on the cervix, thus repeating this process until the fetus is delivered.
a) Fetal delivery is an example of which type of feedback loop?
b) What type of sensory receptor is the…

- Hypogonadism as a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone. The symptoms of hypogonadism include infertility and a decrease in a secondary sex characteristics. There are two types of hypogonadism. Primary hypogonadism is caused by problems stemming from the testicles, and secondary hypogonadism is caused by problems stemming from the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland. Individuals with hypo gonad is him are often treated with testosterone replacement therapy. Draw or sketch a feedback loop for an individual with Primary Hypogonadism. When constructing a feedback loop: - Clearly label to structures are gonads involved in the feedback loop - Use arrows to indicate which way the signal is headed - Indicate whether the hormone levels are increasing or decreasing. - Include all the hormones involved in the feedback loop. - Don't forget to label whether the feedback loop is positive or negative and which way the feedback signals are headed.

The male is very light skinned yet enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors in the sun. From the male's perspective, why might he be contributing to the trouble with getting pregnant? Excessive ultraviolet light exposure can reduce folate levels, and folate is required for normal sperm development. Excessive heat from the sunlight inhibits normal sperm production; thus, he probably does not have enough sperm. The male does not have enough melanin production to support normal sperm development. Excessive sunlight exposure can rapidly increase folate levels, which then inhibits normal sperm development. Normal sperm development occurs best in colder temperatures; thus, living in Florida he has a reduced chance of getting his partner pregnant.arrow_forward
