- If all cells of the body arise from the same embryonic cell (zygote), how can each cell take on specific roles? Could any of these differentiated cells revert to a different cell type? Please, I will appreciate the answer in your own words. Thanks.arrow_forwardorderarrow_forwardMumps 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.arrow_forward
- Part 1: The hormones listed below all play a key role in male reproduction: A) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) B) Luteinising Hormone (LH) C) Testosterone Explain the function(s) of these hormones giving reference to: their origin (where they made and released from), their target (cell, tissue, or organ), their stimulatory effects, and where relevant, their inhibitory effects. Part 2: The hormones listed below are each involved in the female menstrual cycle: A) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) B) Luteinising Hormone (LH) C) Oestrogen D) Progesterone Explain the function(s) of these hormones during the different stages of the menstrual cycle (starting from the point of menstruation). You should consider the following; • their origin (where they made and released from), • their target (cell, tissue, or organ), • their stimulatory effects (and where relevant) their inhibitory effects. • when during the menstrual cycle, their concentrations peak.

If not treated, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and epididymitis in men. PID can cause scar tissues in the structure responsible for transporting the fertilized egg and in the tissue that is maintained by progesterone during a menstrual cycle, leading to infertility. In the diagram above, the structures associated with PID for the effects described above are numbered Select one: a. 1, which is the Fallopian tube, and 3, which is the endometrium, respectively b. 1, which is the Fallopian tube, and 4, which is the endometrium, respectively c. 4, which is the uterus, and 6, which is the cervix, respectively d. 3, which is the uterus, and 7, which is the cervix, respectivelyarrow_forward
- Patient who are suffering from thyrotoxicosis symptoms of vegeto- asthenic syndrome was revealed. The histological appearance of a thyroid gland being stimulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) would show which of the following? Columnar-shaped follicular cells Decreased numbers of follicular cells An abundance of colloid in the lumen of the follicle Increased numbers of parafollicular cells O Decreased numbers of parafollicular capillariesarrow_forwardThe maintenance of homeostasis is of major importance to all organ systems in the body and the overall survival of the individual. Explain how homeostasis is the maintenance of a dynamic range of environmental qualities rather than holding the internal environment at a set point. What would be wrong with a set point (say for body temperature) rather than a working range of temperatures? The endocrine system is closely tied to homeostasis functioning. Give two examples of hormones (including their glands of origin and action) that play major roles in homeostatic processes in the body. What happens if these hormones are disrupted in their actions? Also, look at how we adapt to survival in the outside world. Discuss how maintaining homeostasis gives us greater freedom of activity from dependence upon changes in the external environment. What happens during extremes that force our bodies out of homeostatic bounds? Give specific examples. Why is the maintenance of homeostasis especially…arrow_forwardA 38-year-old male is upset about his low sperm count and visits a "practitioner" who commonly advertises his miracle cures of sterility. The practitioner is a quack who treats conditions of low sperm count with megadoses of testosterone. Although his patients experience a huge surge in libido, their sperm count is even lower after hormone treatment. a) Which two glands would be responsive to the megadose of testosterone? b) Identify the two hormones that would be affected by the megadose of testosterone. Would their levels increase or decrease? c) What role, if any, would either of the affected hormones have on the man's reduced sperm count?arrow_forward
- Infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year. In trying to discover the cause of a female patient’s infertility, her doctor ordered an analysis of circulating hormone levels every day during her 28-day reproductive cycle. Her progesterone levels started very close to zero ng/mL on the first day and remained there throughout her entire 28-day cycle. Based on these results, and your understanding of progesterone, explain why this female is unlikely to achieve a successful pregnancyarrow_forwardIdentify which of the following hormones characteristically regulates the activity of the cell whose nucleus is marked by the arrow in the two images below?
