Chapter 27, Problem 3TYC
Summary Introduction
Summary:
The scrotum is a bag-like structure which lodges the paired testicles hanging under the penis. The reason why this organ system is a structure hanging out of the body is especially for maintaining a lower temperature than the body’s, which is an essential factor for the development of spermatids and spermatozoa. Spermatids and spermatozoa production peaks ideally in low temperature environment.

In menstruation, the functional layer is shed from the endometrium. Explain the hormonal and physical factors responsible for this shedding. (See Figure 25.19.)
After learning about the reproductive systems, how would advise a couple with following concern:
"If we do not want a baby for next two years, how can we calculate the safe sex period?"
She shares that her cycle is regular but not standard 28 days long cycle (so the standard explanation form different sources won't work unless you think critically)!
At what time of the female cycle is she most likely to prevent fertilization of her ovulated egg? Consider the fact that her cycle is not 28 days but longer or shorter (you pick).
Do males have any time (in their cycle- if any) when their gametes would not be able to fertilize the egg?
In other words when can intercourse lead to least chance of pregnancy? Feel free to check with your older friends, doctors, nurses, or anyone who you feel comfortable talking about this.
Understanding the causes of infertility can be valuablein developing new birth control methods. Cite a type ofcontraceptive based on each of the following causes of infertility:(a) failure to ovulate due to a hormonal imbalance;(b) a large fibroid tumor that disturbs the uterine lining;(c) endometrial tissue blocking uterine tubes;(d) low sperm count (too few sperm per ejaculate).
