The Sperm and the Egg This is the story of Sergei the sperm and Weva the egg and the journey they must embark upon in order to create a new life. The journey will be long and treacherous for both of them, but the one shining goal here is for Sergei to prove he is the fastest swimmer, and can deliver his package to Weva.

Once ejaculated from their galaxy, their course must be true to enter the target galaxy. As they are waiting to launch, there is a sudden shift, and the force begins to build. The pressure becomes enormous as the countdown progresses. This is where the testes and the penis are stimulated allowing the blood to flow from the corpora cavernosa, and the corpus spongiosum into the penis, which then becomes engorged and stiff. This is an erection, and when this takes place Sergei the sperm, and his aquanaut brothers will be ready to begin their travel through the seminal vesicles (small glands) to the main carrier port known as the ejaculatory …show more content…
Preparations for finalization are close, and Sergei is beginning to feel the surge of the fructose becoming stronger, pushing him. Meanwhile, after lying motionless in her home in Ovaryville for some time with about two million other eggs, Weva the egg is gently let go by her mother graafian follicle (the mature vesicle), and ready to begin her own journey. Weva the egg leaves her home in ovaryville, and heads toward the fallopian tube highway carrying with her the other half of the genetic material, which will eventually form the embryo and then the baby. Weva the egg seems to be the only one who was able to survive this trip, while the others met their

    Psy265 Assignment the Sperm and the Egg

    Without the sperm and the egg to form life the reproduction of humans, or any creature for that matter, would not take place. All creatures would become old and would have no offspring to carry on their genetic characteristics or ever their name. They would only be in this life until it was finally snuffed out in some way or another. Fortunately though, there is sexual arousal, which allows a male and a female to indulge in their desire to satisfy their sexual urges, or their mere desire to mate and create new life.…

    Freedman's The Aggressive Egg

    Traditional or common portrayals of the fertilization process are inaccurately based on what truly happens because of typical stereotypes and biased information of male and female. Male biologists blow off the idea of the egg “controlling” the sperm by trapping it because they feel that it makes males appear less weak in comparison to women in reality. The limitations of Martin’s study yielded to reader’s wondering why there were small, but vital lies told due to chauvinistic…

    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…

    Essay On Ovum

    The ovum cell is one of the most important cells in all living organisms. Most ova are unicellular because they are only one cell at first but becomes multi cellular once fertilized by the sperm and begin dividing. However, in other organisms, such as protists, they can start off as multi cellular as well. The ova is the female gamete produced by the female reproductive system and joins together with the sperm, the male gamete, during fertilization to form the embryo. Gametes are haploids which is the only type of cell that contains only one set of chromosomes. Ova are produced by many living organisms, such as animals, protists, fungi, and flowering plants and ferns. In animals, they are produced…

    Chekhov Setting Analysis "The Lady with the Dog"

    In Anton Chekhov’s story “The Lady with the Dog.” the main characters Dmitry Gurov and Anna Sergeyevna partake in an affair while in Yalta. Chekhov creates this with words that capture a place and time, the movements between two people and emotions of love discovered but contained in secrecy. The central idea of this story is that in reality everything in this world is truly beautiful when on reflects on it, except when we forget our dignity and our higher aim in our mere human existence. The setting in this story helps us understand the central idea by throwing in the stepping stones for these two people to sit back and look at their surroundings each time they meet. With every meeting comes a deeper understanding of the feelings being felt.…

    Describe the physical, intellectual, emotional and social development for each of the life stages of an individual

    The sperm is the male gamete and the ovum is the female. Conception is where the sperm enters an ovum and fertilises it. This results in pregnancy and the start of a life. The egg is larger than the sperm so less are produced. The sperm has a “tail” which helps it move towards the egg. An area at the front is called an acrosome. It contains enzymes that digest the coating of an ovum. This has a large amount of cytoplasm with lots of yolk droplets that contain protein and lipids. This provides the embryo with the materials it initially needs to grow.…

    More Than Cherry Trees Blossom in Chekhov's the Cherry Orchard

    In the microcosm of the Ranevsky estate, Chekhov portrays this bourgeois transformation through his exaggerated cast and overtly carefree elite. Facing financial hurdles, the Ranevsky family fails to pay the mortgage on the estate. Even as the monetary troubles mount, Liubov continues her relentless spending and wastrel habits. In contrast to the upper class extravagance, Trofimov dreams of equality and hopes that someday everybody will work hard together. He cannot even enjoy the orchard on which his ancestors have toiled because, as Sally Buckner states, he keeps “thinking of his peasant ancestors,…
