Although the existence of a biological clock has been known for nearly a century, only recently have we begun to understand what is made of and how it keeps ticking."This manuscript will analyze all the aspects of the biological clock in relation to human reproduction.Feldberg, Dov...
FIGURE 6: Number of eggs in the human ovary in relation to age of woman. At the time of your menses (menstruation), as a result of the rapid fall in estradiol (estrogen) and progesterone secretion from the ovulated follicle of the previous month, the uterus sheds the lining that had bui...
A molecular clock is the basis for regulating the circadian rhythm of the body (by Figdraw). The central clock in the SCN and peripheral clocks in many other tissues have a clock based on autoregulatory feedback loops. External factors, such as temperature, light source, and food, exert an...
"It's surprising that one could develop a clock that reliably keeps time across the human anatomy," he admitted. "My approach really compared apples and oranges, or in this case, very different parts of the body: the brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidney and cartilage." While most samples'...

In mammals, the major classes of glia include astrocytes, microglia and oligodendrocytes (Sofroniew and Vinters, 2010). These cells are highly abundant in the human brain, with astrocytes accounting for 20–40% of the cells in the brain and microglia about 5–10%, depending on the brain ...
The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.2.Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some ...

There are striking differences in life span between different species, but within one species the parameter is relatively constant. For example, the average duration of human life has hardly changed in thousands of years. Although more and more people attain an advanced age as a result of ...
