Mumps is a viral infection. The primary symptom of mumps is visible swelling of the parotid gland on either side of the face. However, the virus can also infiltrate the male reproductive system, causing the testes to atrophy. Some effects include oligospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm in semen), and asthenospermia (reduced sperm movement).
Research treatment options for reduced sperm movement. Describe one option that can be used to aid successful fertilization and explain why it helps.

- Infection of the fallopian tubes can lead to infertility. Why would this be so?arrow_forwardOne of the common unfortunate consequences of a vasectomy is that the proximal ends of the ductus deferens rupture and spermatozoa are exposed to the immune system. The person with the testes then produces antibodies against their own sperm. This has consequences for the effectiveness of a vasectomy reversal. In the situation described above, why are the spermatozoa considered foreign even though they are being produced within the person’s own seminiferous tubules? This immune response is not normal, and so describe how the testes’ structure prevents this immune reaction from occurring.arrow_forwardWhy does the patient have light menstrual periods that have now stopped? Choose all the INCORRECT answer(s) from the options below a) There would be no development of follicles during the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle b) The endometrial lining will continue to increase in thickness c) The cells that produce FSH and LH are located in the hypothalamus and not in the pituitary gland. d) The levels of oestrogen would be higher than normal during the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle. e) The tumor would only affect the cells the produce the hormone that stimulates milk secretion.arrow_forward
