- An endocrinal gland with parenchyma consisting of epithelium and neural tissue is under morphological examination. Epithelial trabecules have two types of cells: chromophilic and chromophobic. Identify this organ: O Hypothalamus O Adrenal glands O Thyroid gland O Hypophysis O Parathyroid glandarrow_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_forwardPart 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.

- Chlamydia 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_forwardThe pituitary gland starts sending out hormones into the blood stream to initiate puberty, as is seen in the image. Which of the following statements best describes what the image is showing about how those hormones are received by the organs associated with puberty? The hormones circulate all over the body and act upon every cell. The hormones are dispersed to a specific area of the body and bind to target cells there. The hormones are dispersed and received only by cells in range of the signal before they degrade. The hormones circulate all over the body and bind to specific receptors that only target cells possess.arrow_forwardPatient 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_forward
- Describe if each of the following mechanisms is regulated by positive or negative feedback. neanive 1. When you are hot, you sweat and your blood vessels dilate. As your body cools, you sweat less your blood vessels return to normal. 2. When blood clots, more and more platelets rush to the area 3. When a baby is born, the uterus contracts more often and more forcefully until the baby is born. 4. Blood sugar is regulated by insulin. As blood sugar returns to normal, less insúlin is produced. 5.When you are cold, your blood vessels constrict and your muscles shiver. As your body returns to normal, you cease shivering and your blood vessels restore normal blood flow. 6.After pregnancy, the suckling of an infant causes an increase in milk production.arrow_forwardThe modified structures at the border of the epithelium shown above are immotile in a 23-year-old patient. Which of the following would be a consequence of this lack of motility? A. Implantation failure B. Kartagener's syndrome C. Malabsorption syndrome D. Reduction in number of disaccharidases E. Uptake and digestion of spermatid residual bodiesarrow_forwardInfertility 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_forward
- After studying Chapter 14: “The Reproductive System,” from Medical terminology for health professions, Chapter 19: “The Reproductive System,” from Fundamentals of anatomy and physiology, and the corresponding presentations, answer the following questions: What hormones are produced by the pancreas? What do the terms hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism mean? What are the hormones produced by the ovaries and testes? In your own words, what is a vasectomy? What do the terms multigravida, primigravida, and nulligravida mean?arrow_forwardWhen investigating fertility concerns, a common course of action is to rule out sperm cell-related causes of infertility first since obtaining the relevant specimens is generally less invasive. Vitality is another commonly assessed parameter, particularly when motility is deemed poor since it allows physicians to differentiate between live and dead sperm cells. Describe what you would expect to observe (after using the microscope) in the case of a live sperm cell and why? How can you distinguish it from a dead sperm cell in the same sample?arrow_forwardwhere do endocrine glands released their products?
