Spermatogenesis Spermatogenesis is the production of the male gametes (reproductive or sex cell) otherwise known as sperm. The production of sperm takes place in the seminiferous tubules within the testes and are formed from cells by a type of cell division called mitosis and then meiosis. This process begins at puberty. Spermatogonia cells are made by mitotic division of the primordial germ cell. Mitotic cell division produces diploid cells that are identical to the Parent cell with 46 chromosomes

Keegan Pierce The Ins and Outs of Lung Cancer Date- Lung cancer is the leading cancer to cause death all over the world. On average lung cancer causes 1‚370‚000 deaths worldwide. Lungs are organs in the human chest. When you breathe in‚ oxygen makes its way to the lungs. There it turns into carbon dioxide‚ which you breathe out. Lung cancer is the constant growth of irregular cells that begin forming in one or both lungs. These cells do not create healthy lung tissue‚ they divide immediately

investigations show abnormalities that specify the distribution of inflammatory lesions and axonal loss (MRI); hindrance of transmission in previously myelinated pathways (evoked electrophysiological potentials); and intrathecal combination of oligoclonal antibody (examination by lumbar puncture of the cerebral fluid). Multiple sclerosis is triggered by ecological dynamics in individuals with multifarious genetic-risk profiles. Licensed disease modifying agents lessen the rate of recurrence of new episodes

(http://www.understandinganimalresearch.org.uk/about-us/the-science-action-network/forty-reasons-why-we-need-animals-in-research/): Animal research has played a vital part in nearly every medical breakthrough over the last decade. We share 95% of our genes with a mouse‚ making them an effective model for the human body. Animals and humans are very similar; we have the same organ systems performing the same tasks in more or less the same way. Animals suffer from similar diseases to humans including
