The Egg And The Sperm Analysis

The egg baby activity was an activity I particularly enjoyed doing in my college career. I am actually familiar with the care taking process for my egg, since I was assigned this type of project before while I was in high school; the only difference was that I had a partner for this experience. So to explain the process for caring for my baby was fairly simple, my partner, Lily, had a schedule that was the opposite of mine and we would switch off caring for the baby evenly. She had the baby one day and I would have him the next. Having to switch off between days primarily reminded me of how actual couples would have to raise children due to custody cases, in which some are not as lenient as switching off between parents like it was for this project. So the challenging part of this activity

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 danger of a single story is a reflection about how only one perspective about a subject can make we have an incomplete view about how things really are. People empowered can make a whole nation think as they want to by only telling a single story many times. So, at some point that's the only true people know. The Egg and the Sperm is a good example of how a single story can decrease the value of something. In this case how scientists used to explain how conception happened by making the sperm superior to the egg, and by arguing that female organs are interdependent and male organs are autonomous, and by having the understand that the menstruation is a failure. In sum, in so many ways those scientist spread the idea that men are superior

When sperm fertilizes an egg, conception occurs. For conception to occur the sperm and egg must meet. This is a story about how Bob, the sperm and Mary, the egg meet for the first time. The moment Bob and Mary come together a new individual is formed. Mary's was produced at the time she was in a fetus's ovaries. It has been over 23 years since she and five million others like her were produced. It is an exciting day for Mary because unlike all the others she was chosen to meet Bob. Bob also feels awesome today because unlike all the other millions of sperm discharged, he was the only one that made it to the finish and met Mary. The beginning of Bob and Mary's story starts when they

When I read “The Egg and the Sperm: How Science has Constructed a Romance Based on Stereotypical Male-Female Roles” by Emily Martin, I initially thought of the many instances in science fiction where males have a dominant role and females have a less successful role. For example, this is wonderfully shown in the Matrix where Neo has a prophecy of being the one and Trinity having a prophecy of falling in love with the one. Neo has a fate that is all about him while Trinity has a fate that revolves around Neo rather than herself. However, after getting past the typical role of gender, the role of sexuality and reproduction came to my mind and I thought of the Futurama episode called “Amazon Women in the Mood,” which flips the stereotypical gender

Sperm - Sperm is made up of a spherical shaped head containing the 26 chromosomes that are part of a persons genetics, a neck and a tail that helps the sperm swim into the female genital tract.

Male gametes (sperm) are produced in the testes, while female gametes (eggs) are produced in the ovaries. Sperms have a head that allows them to guide there swimming and a tail that allows them to swim faster and be more productive. The eggs are much larger than the sperm and contain a cell membrane. Both these cells are specialised.

The human body works in wondrous ways and the things it is capable of are what keeps the human species alive. The reproduction is one of the most important systems of the body. As time continues technology advances and new techniques and procedures are discovered. One of the most one recent discoveries is the idea of male pregnancy. Scientists thought of this because women were able to have babies although the baby had formed somewhere else besides the uterus; men develop these same organs so why can a male not have a baby? Scientist continued their research on animal to collect the best results. There have been successful cases of male pregnancy, but it has raised a vast amount of both disapproval and approval.

Do you know how you were born? Do you know how you came to be? The reproductive system is the system that made that all possible. Without the reproductive system you wouldn’t have been born. In order to produce offspring, the male and female reproductive systems have to be different. Each system has different parts, problems and care. Each system have different purposes, the male reproductive system’s function is to produce sperm, while the female reproductive system’s function is to produce ova, store ova and house a fertilized egg.

Gametogenesis refers to the production of haploid sex cells within an organism. The haploid sex cells are composed of half of the genetic material of that from the germ-line of the parents. The process of gametogenesis could not take place without two specific organs, the ovary and the testis. These two organs, the gonads, are composed of germ cells where meiosis occurs. Meiosis is the method that makes the germ cells haploid. In both males and females, this phenomenon can be observed. In males, the genetic material is passed to offspring through a process known as spermatogenesis, and in females genetic material is passed to offspring through the process of oogenesis. However, these two processes, although similar in

The overall objective of this investigation is analyze if chemoattraction has resulted so that the target egg may be fertilized when gametes of other closely related species are present.

In the sharp contrast to active sperms, female only produces one ovum cell per month, which mainly functions as a “protector” and a “nurturer”. It creates a safe and warm environment, producing nutrimental supplies that nourish the embryo. In addition, egg is so loyal that, with the help of cortical granules filled with enzyme , it forms a cell membrane that keeps other sperms from entering. Imagine that millions of agile sperms competed with others and anxiously approach to one target -- egg -- no wonder only the most courageous and intelligent one wins the battle. Battle among sperms, to some extent, epitomizes male mindset of fighting off other men. Therefore, they are naturally more active; their organs for locomotion and control are inherently more flexible in order to maximize the possibility to defeat other males.

The reproductive system is questionably the body system that is the most important influence on life as we know it. It is the w ay in which we procreate and ensure our existence as a species. However, the penis is only one part of the male reproductive system, which constitutes of a series responsible for generating, storing, and transporting the genetic material contained in the sperm cells. The main organs include: testicles (or testes), the epididymides, the vas deferens, the ejaculatory duct, the urethra, and the penis. Others are the scrotum, urogenital opening, and the prostate gland.

In Humans as well as other species we can see some obvious differences between males and females. Differences such as the development of a penis or vagina, muscle mass, body size, the distribution of fat and the amount of distribution of body hair are all the differences that can be observed in Humans. These differences are a result of a long chain of events that begin during the early phases of embryology. It Involves Complex interaction between the environment and gene expression.
