Spermatocele Research Paper
Spermatocele also known as Epididymal cysts a painless, fluid-filled cyst in the long, tightly coiled tube that lies above and behind each testicle. It feels like a smooth, firm lump in the scrotum on top of the testicle. The fluid in the cyst may contain sperm that are no longer alive. The main cause for this disorder are obstruction of the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles or the epididymis ducts. Symptoms when present include pain, swelling, or redness of the scrotum or a feeling of pressure at the base of the penis. It looks or feels like an extra lump or mass above the testicle on one side of your scrotum. You may also notice a general enlargement of your scrotum, when being diagnosed a doctor will shine a light behind each testicle

    Ilab Week 3

    Deciduous forests are closer to the equator than the coniferous forests of the tiaga, and so they have a longer growing season. This gives the plants more time to produce food, and the forest yields about 6000 Kilocalories per square meter per year for animals to eat. These primary producers form the first trophic level. The trees in the deciduous forest shed their leaves in winter. This prevents their branches from being broken by the weight of the snow, but also means that they have to grow leaves anew each spring. The trees and shrubs produce flowers, seeds, and fruits, such as wild cherries and persimmons. Many of the shrubs beneath the trees also produce fruit, such as huckleberries, blackberries, and thimbleberries. Below the shrubs there are wild flowers, clumps of grasses, and ferns. Herbivores eat the leaves and fruits of the forest. Some of the animals that live in coniferous forests also live here. Squirrels, small rodents, and deer find food in the deciduous forest, and other plant eaters, including many birds and insects, are also members of the community of primary consumers. These animals are on the second trophic level. These animals can use the 6000 Kilocalories per square meters per year produced by the plants, but the most of this energy is used up in the processes of living, such as breathing, circulating the blood, growth, and reproduction. Only about one tenth of the energy is stored in the bodies of the herbivores, so animals eating these herbivores can only get 600 Kilocalories per square meters per year from their bodies. The small carnivores, the secondary consumers, form the third trophic level. Many of these animals, such as woodpeckers and skunks, eat insects, while others, such as racoons, foxes, and snakes, eat the small rodents and frogs. The small carnivores have 600 kilocalories per square kilometer per year to eat, but, again, nine tenths of these Kilocalories are used up in keeping the animals alive. The bodies of the secondary…

    Egg and Sperm

    This is a story about Zak the Sperm, and Zoie the Egg. This is an exciting day for Zak and Zoie because they are going to get fertilized today. Fertilization is the moment Zak and Zoie fuse together and a new individual begins to form. Zoie has been waiting for this day for 32 years, since her egg was produced when she was in the fetal ovaries, along with five million others, but today she is the chosen one! Zak feels like he has won the lotto because he is the only one out of 500 million mobile sperm discharged today (Rathus, Nevid, and Fichner-Rathus, 2011.), in one ejaculation that will get to fertilize.…

    Non Seminoma

    Rare diseases range from cystic fibrosis and haemophilia to Angelman Syndrome, with an incidence of about 1 in 15,000, to Opitz trigonocephaly syndrome, which is extremely rare with about one case per million people.[5] In this review, we will focus on Primary testicular Leiomyosarcoma, which is very rare with only a few cases being reported in the literature till date. They should be differentiated from epididymo-orchitis, sarcomas of the spermatic cord and germ cell tumours. In this tumour, due to lack of data on the natural history, histological criteria for diagnosis and treatment recommendations, there is lack of proper guidelines regarding treatment. Most of the reported cases of previous literatures indicate that this may be an indolent tumour with a potential for cure if treated…

    Female Reproductive System Essay

    The aim of the female reproductive system is to produce mature oocytes which match with the male spermatocyte to create offspring. Fertilisation most commonly occurs in the fallopian tubes, though this can also occur later in a female’s menstrual cycle if the egg has already moved down into the uterus, though there is a higher chance of miscarriage as the lining of the womb may continue to shed. The external female reproduction features have two functions; to allow insemination and to also protect against infection and injury. These structures include; the labia majora, which contains glands that produce sweat, the labia minora which surrounds the opening of the vagina and urethra, bartholin's glands which are just behind the vaginal…

    egg and sperm

    In the article, " The Egg and the Sperm" by Emily Martin, the author attempts to shed light on the gender stereotypes hidden within the scientific language of our biology textbooks. I found this article to be very intriguing because, as a nursing student, I've been exposed to many medical and biology textbooks and it has never occurred to me that cultural beliefs could influence how a biologist described their discoveries. I had no idea that within the scientific accounts of reproductive biology, there could be a hidden stereotype implying that the male reproductive system is more dominant and active in its role than the female reproductive system. When I first began reading this article, I was a bit skeptical and thought that the author might have taken her ideas way a little far by thinking in between the lines. But the more I read and learned about the recent discoveries especially the one by John Hopkins University, I was convinced that there may be some truth to her assumptions. I was surprised to learn how some biological texts used positive connotations to portray the sperms as active, brave adventurer whereas using negative connotations like "ceasing" , "expelling" and "disintegrating" to describe an unfertilized egg to imply that it has gone to waste (Martin, pg. 2). In the article, Martin points out that majority of the sources describe the fertilization process as the egg having an impenetrable barrier called the "Zona Pellucida" and the sperm playing an active role in penetrating the barrier by mechanically burrowing and forcing its way through into the cell. Later on, research showed that it is actually the egg playing a more active process it acts an adherent to the head of the sperm which is a protein layer. Research has shown that sperm is not able to penetrate and thrust forward, it can only move sideways and once attached to the egg the sperm releases enzymes that can dissolve the Zona (Martin, pg.9). Although research suggests that both…
