(IUI) - Sperm are deposited directly into your uterus (womb) while you are ovulating. • •In vitro fertilisation (IVF) - Eggs are taken from your ovaries and combined with your partner’s sperm in a petri dish. The fertilised embryos are relocated to your uterus. • •Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) – An individual sperm is injected directly into a single egg in the laboratory and the resulting embryo is transplanted into your uterus. • •Donated sperm - If your partner has a very low sperm count

fertilization. In comparing‚ external fertilization occurs when the release of both sperms and eggs into an external environment‚ the sperm will then fertilize the egg outside of the organism for example in spawning. Internal fertilization‚ on the other hand‚ occurs when the egg is within the female‚ and a male mounts the female and releases sperms into her. The advantages of internal fertilization are that it protects the fertilized egg or the embryo from predators or the harsh environment. The disadvantages

The male reproductive system consists of these parts; Testes‚ glands‚ sperm ducts‚ urethra and the penis. The female reproductive system consists of these parts; Ovaries‚ egg tubes‚ uterus‚ cervix and the vagina The scrotums function is to produce millions of male sex cells (sperm) and to make male sex hormones which affect the way a man’s body develops.

performance of the human body. Sperm cells‚ also known as spermatozoon are reproductive cells. The main function is to fertilize the ovum. At the head of the sperm is a large nucleus surrounded by acrosome‚ the acrosome covers the head of the sperm‚ when the ovum is reached the acrosome releases hydrolytic enzymes to break through the egg wall. The nucleus is where all genetic information and enzymes are and half of the 23 chromosomes. One pair coming from the sperm cell and the other from the mother

Women are seen as objects‚ and are often undermined in our society. More specifically the roles of the female body have been manipulated and changed to make women feel inferior to men.

In a traditional surrogacy‚ the child may be conceived via home artificial insemination using fresh or frozen sperm or impregnated via IUI (intrauterine insemination)‚ or ICI (intracervical insemination) performed at a health clinic. A gestational surrogacy requires the transfer of a previously created embryo‚ and for this reason the process always takes place in

This method is injected or taken in pill form‚ the drugs release hormones that induce ovulation to boost egg production and make the uterus more receptive to embryo implantation. This method is best suited for infertile women who don ’t ovulate regularly or who have partners with very poor sperm quality. A positive effect of this process would be
