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 .

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.
