A DISTINGUISHED DISTINCTION 2 The male and female body may look different in appearance, but they behave and react similarly internally. Most differences depend on the different hormones in men and women, mainly testosterones and estrogen. Hormones both affect and effect emotions and sexuality within the male and female body. The brain is also an internal component that shows similarity and difference patterns. From fetus our genitals are the same. Our genitals form within the first six weeks. XX or XY chromosomes are the contributing factors to the differences in the development of our genitals. As we grow the male and female body begins to produce hormones. These hormones are testosterone and estrogen. Males produce more testosterone and females produce more estrogen. Our bodies produce these hormones and many others. Hormones affect how the body reacts. These reactions reveal the similarities and differences between males and females. This exchange process produces the differences between our biological chemistry (Spencer, 1999). Men and women both have the same hormones, but there are important variation in the hormone levels and patterns. The levels and patterns are determined by how each hormone interacts with the male and female bodies. All the way doe to the ego, testosterone is responsible for what sums up a man. Estrogen is the main ingredient in the performance of women. These hormones increase other hormones when entice with information, conflict, excitement, or emotional situation (Halpern, 2004). Estrogen increases oxytocin a calming hormone. The exchange of this process varies due to the infinite levels and patterns throughout the male and female body. As a rule, male and females react differently to situations. We may think a male reacts to

    Throughout one’s lifetime, hormones have defined clear roles. In contrast, heredity is affected by genes and genes are affected by the environment and are able to change in regard to the situation the environment presents. Because of the ability genes have to evolve and change explains why there are variations and mutations. Therefore, the way someone reacts to a situation at one point in time could be completely different than the way they could react in years to come because of the influence of heredity on human behavior. The opposite being true of hormones as they are very specific in nature. Hormones roles remain habitually the same even as they sometimes present or absent. For example, the regulation of glucose in the body is result of the hormone insulin and this part of this hormone is unable to change regardless of the environment.…

    Each cell in the human body contains a total of 46 chromosomes, 22 of the pairs are the same for both sexes, but the final pair determines whether the individual is female or male. If the embryo is a female the chromosomal pattern will be XX, but if the embryo is male the chromosomal pattern will be XY. The chromosomal make-up of the sperm that fertilises the egg determines an individual’s sex. If the sperm carries an X chromosome, the embryo will be female, but if the sperm carries a Y chromosome the embryo will be male.…

    As Larry Cahill 's article “His Brain, Her Brain”, points out there has been data showing a vast “...array of structural, chemical and functional variations” between the sexes; but does size matter? Lawrence Summers, former President of Harvard, thought so. Men 's brains are 13% larger than women 's brains, but does that really make them more advanced in math, physics and science? There are other anatomical variations and some of these are found to influence the way male and female brains work. Scientists have spent decades studying the brain and trying to answer questions regarding brain function. Trying to answer what actions are nature or nurture. Why do men and women act so…

As relaters, women generally focus on pleasing, understanding, feelings, communicating, exploring emotions, making connections and being understood.…
