FEMALE reproductive organsSEMENMaintaining sexual reproduction in a highly competitive world is still one of the major mysteries of biology given the apparently high efficiency of asexual reproduction. Co‐evolutionary theories such as the Red Queen hypothesis would suggest that the microbiomes in...
The human reproductive system refers to the biological system in the body responsible for reproduction, including organs such as the uterus, ovaries, and testes, which play a crucial role in processes like pregnancy and childbirth. AI generated definition based on:Encyclopedia of Stress (Second Edit...
system- a group of physiologically or anatomically related organs or parts; "the body has a system of organs for digestion" germ cell,reproductive cell,sex cell- a spermatozoon or an ovum; a cell responsible for transmitting DNA to the next generation ...
In B, the key anatomical components of the female reproductive tract and nearby organs are shown from frontal (Fig. 1) and posterior perspectives (Fig. 4). The fundus (A), body (B) and cervix or internal cervical os (C) of the simplex human uterus are illustrated in Fig. 1 and ...
Thereproductive systemenables the production of offspring throughsexual reproductionbetween a male and female. The system is comprised of male and femalereproductive organsand structures which producesex cellsand ensure the growth and development of offspring. The major male structures include the testes,...
Clearly, more studies of the endocannabinoid function in the human reproductive organs are warranted to address more comprehensively the health impact of cannabis. Materials and Methods Tissue samples The testis tissue samples for the IHC analyses were excised from tumour-free periphery of orchiectomy ...
male reproductive systemOrgans of the male reproductive system. For this biological process to be carried out, certain organs and structures are required in both the male and the female. The source of the ova (the female germ cells) is the femaleovary; that of spermatozoa (the male germ cell...
Reinier de Graaf was a Dutch physician who discovered the follicles of the ovary (known as Graafian follicles), in which the individual egg cells are formed. He was also important for his studies on the pancreas and on the reproductive organs of mammals.
Introduction to the Reproductive System Learning Objectives Describe the anatomy of the male and female reproductive systems, including their accessory structures Describe the development and maturation of the sex organs and the emergence of secondary sex characteristics during puberty...
The regulatory role of these small RNA molecules has recently begun to be explored in the human reproductive system. microRNAs have been shown to play an important role in control of reproductive functions, especially in the processes of oocyte maturation, folliculogenesis, corpus luteum function, ...
