A Walnut Sized Organ

Prostate Cancer is a disease in which there is an uncontrolled growth of cells that lines the ducts of the prostate gland. The abnormal cells can spread throughout the prostate and nearby organs, such as the seminal vesicles. If not caught early they can spread (metastasized) to other organs of the body through the lymph or blood stream. (“...Treatment...” 13) Prostate Cancer can be like a silent killer. Some may show signs and symptoms of this disease while others may not. Some symptoms may include frequent urination, blood in the urine or semen, delayed or slowed start of urinary stream and dribbling or leakage of urine. Diagnosis testing for Prostate Cancer are digital

The epididymis, a small coiled tube, is located next to the testes, and is continuous with the sperm duct.

The last glands are the adrenal glands, which are located above the kidneys, and have an inner core and an outer layer. The inner core is called the adrenal medulla, and the outer layer is known as the adrenal cortex.

All men over the age of 50 should have an annual examination to check for cancer of the PROSTATE GLAND In women, the two outer elongated folds of the skin that extend from the mons to the perineum are called LABIA MAJORA?The innermost layer of the uterus, which is sloughed off and discharged from the woman?s body during menstruation is called ENDOMETRIUM In men, an erection results from the spongy tissues of the penis becoming engorged with BLOOD?When a man becomes sexually aroused a few drops of a clear fluid produced by the COWPERS GLANDS may appear at the tip of the penis Breast size in women is determined by the AMOUNT OF FATTY TISSUE The best time

Transitional epithelium is also composed of several layers but is constructive of pear shaped cells instead. This type of tissue is stretchy, meaning it can contract and expand. It is usually found lining the urinary bladder as it allows for stretching as the bladder fills up.

According to Patton and Thibodeau (2012), the kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs found along the posterior muscular wall of the abdominal cavity. The convex side of each kidney is located laterally and the concave side medial. The renal hilum on the concave side is the point where the renal artery enters, the vein and ureter leave the kidney. Deep to the perirenal fat, the kidney is surrounded by fibrous connective tissue called the renal capsule. Deep to the renal capsule is the renal cortex, which surrounds the renal medulla with their apexes facing inward toward the centre of the kidney. Nephrons, the basic structural and functional unit that filters blood to produce urine, are located within the cortex and medulla. The minor calyces that collects urine are connected to the papilla of each pyramid, and merge to form major calyces, which further merge into the renal pelvis. Urine drains into the ureter at the renal hilum where renal pelvis exits the kidney (Brenner, 2007).

Small densities along the posterior aspect of the urinary bladder region up to 3-4 mm favored to relate to adjacent phleboliths, less likely stones dependently in the urinary bladder. Negative for urinary bladder wall thickening. Urinary bladder otherwise unremarkable.

The body is a perfect mesh of numerous organ systems; however, when ranking them top to bottom the brain’s importance is unparalleled. All involuntary and voluntary functions are virtually controlled by this mass of tissue and countless neurons. Ultimately, there would be no life without it. CTE has gone unnoticed for a long time; in fact, until recently, researchers did not know much about its existence. A major component in an NFL lawsuit, researchers found that a majority (96% of the near-hundred tested) of former, deceased NFL players’ brains had CTE.1 The lawsuit is due to the fact that the NFL covered up the relationship between continual head trauma and long term brain diseases.2,3 Now made aware, this disease is one that should have major awareness. There are warning signs; unfortunately, the only way to confirm this pathology is post-mortem.1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11

Semen is the male reproductive fluid, containing spermatozoa in suspension. Sperm is a male reproductive cell. Prostate is a gland surrounding the neck of the bladder in male mammals and releasing prostatic fluid. Urethra is a duct by which urine is convey out of the body from the bladder, and which in male vertebrates also conveys semen. Penis is the male genital organ of higher vertebrates, carrying the duct for the transfer of sperm during copulation. Glans is the head of a penis. A shaft is the cylindrical part of the penis between the scrotum and head. Seminiferous tubules is any of the numerous long convoluted tubules in the testis which are the sites where spermatozoa mature. Seminal vesicles is each of a pair of glands that open into the vas deferens near its junction with the urethra and secrete many of the components of semen. Bladder is a membranous sac in human and other animals, which urine is collected for excretion.

The urethral opening is located on the underneath the penis, instead of the tip, and may exit the penis anywhere along its shaft as high as the scrotum.

Prostate cancer refers to the malignant growth of glandular cells located in the prostate. Under normal circumstances these cells sit in the glands which are responsible for the production of fluids that make up most of the semen in males [2]. However once these cells lose their control, what happens is that they will keep on growing until they become cancerous [2]. Ultimately this means that the natural surrounding layers that did act like barriers for these cells are now broken and therefore allows the spread of these malignant cells to other organs within the body, particularly the bones and lymph nodes [2]. When this does take place the risk of death also increases. At the age of 85, a man is said to have a 1 in 5 chances of developing prostate cancer sometime in their life. The risk is said to double if a male has a first-degree relative who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

The body is made of several different organ systems. All of the systems play a major role in sustaining life. The systems also work in conjunction with each other. When one organ system starts to fail, it causes other body systems to begin to have problems. A few of many systems are the renal (produces urine), the gastrointestinal (food break down), and the hepatic which directs blood. Along with these systems, if someone has metabolic syndrome, this syndrome can affect all of the organ systems in the body.

There are 4 types of tissue in the body. Epithelial tissue covers the body, connective tissue is used for protection and support, muscle tissue (there are 4 different types) and then the nerve tissue which is used to send messages around the body.

Testes are kept in the scrotum sac and are two oval shaped glands, about 8,5cm long and 2.5cm wide. A midline septum divides the scrotum into two halves and each testical is covered in two tunics; the Tunica vaginalis from the peritoneum and the Tunica albuginea which is a deeper tunic and a fibrous capsule. The septa from this layer then divides the testes into 250 – 300 wedge shaped compartments or lobules. It is in these lobules that seminiferous tubules are found, where sperm is made. Each lobule contains about 1 – 4 seminiferous tubules. The network into which seminiferous tubules empty is called the Rete testis. After which, the epididymis receives sperm from the rete testis network.

ames Berry is a black Jamaican poet who settled in England in the 1940’s. Berry is known for using both english and jamaican patois. Berry’s writing sometimes explores the relationship between black and white communities, in particular the excitement and troubles in the coming relationship of the Carribean immigrants with the British. Berry’s “The Mouth Organ Boys” deals with a boy named Delroy, who longs to have a mouth organ like the other boys, so he can fit in with the white boys who have a mouth organ. A mouth organ is a free reed wind instrument used worldwide. But they don't accept Delroy because he doesn't own one. Delroy's mom doesn't understand that he gets made fun of because he doesn't own a mouth organ, in fact all the mouth organ
