Infertility strikes both men and women. Describe in a summary the biological causes that impair the process of conception in both males and females. Besides mentioning specific reasons of infertility in males and females, you need to include in your answer other cause(s) that might be the result of a combination of factors originating from both men and women.

Some effects include oligospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm in semen), and asthenospermia (reduced sperm movement). Describe how intrauterine insemination can be used to aid successful fertilization and explain why it helps. Make sure that the treatment process AND how the process helps to improve fertility are clearly explained.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements correctly describes the development of the endometrium during the menstrual cycle? Select one: A. Estrogen causes accelerated development of the endometrium during the follicle stage and then maintains the thickness of the endometrium during the luteal stage. B. Progesterone causes the relatively slow development of the endometrium during the follicle stage and accelerates the thickening of the endometrium during the luteal stage. C. Estrogen causes the relatively fast thickening of the endometrium during the follicular stage. Progesterone maintains the thickness of the endometrium during the luteal phase. D. Estrogen causes the relatively slow development of the endometrium during the follicular stage.

- What happens if an oocyte combines with sperm? Describe the processes involved in implantation. Mention what is occurring, where it is occurring, and any significant hormones involved. How does the zygote make its way through the uterine tube? Women who smoke cigarettes have an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy because the chemicals they absorb paralyze cilia all through the body. Explain.arrow_forwardChlamydia is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. 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_forwardAlthough the most effective forms of oral contraceptive for women contain estrogen and progestin, some birth control pills contain a small dose of progestin only. This is because there are many risks and side effects associated with estrogen.Which of the following statements is NOT a reason for using a progestin-only oral contraceptive? Select one: a. Progesterone suppresses the maturation of follicles, thereby preventing ovulation of a mature ovum. b. Progesterone maintains the corpus luteum as corpus luteum releases a large amount of progesterone and some estrogen. c. Progestin-only oral contraceptives prevent the production of FSH and LH in the anterior pituitary. d. Progesterone suppresses the production of GnRH in the hypothalamus.arrow_forward
