    Biopsy procedure Samples were blinded for the ICSI laboratory examiner. For all patients, open surgery biopsy was applied to retrieve specimen of sperm. At the beginning of open biopsy, the skin over the testicle was cleaned with a germ-killing (antiseptic) medicine. The area around covered with a sterile towel. (As like what was done in onset of local anesthesia.) The testis was grasped between the thumb and forefinger of the non-dominant hand. An incision was then made over the same area immediately

    Cellular Reproduction Cellular Reproduction is the process by which all living things produce new organisms similar or identical to themselves. This is essential in that if a species were not able to reproduce, that species would quickly become extinct. Always, reproduction consists of a basic pattern: the conversion by a parent organism of raw materials into offspring or cells that will later develop into offspring. (Encarta, 2) In almost all animal organisms, reproduction occurs during

    research has opened a new era for exploring human spermatogenesis. Mouse ESCs, nonhuman primate (NHP) ESCs, and hESCs have been differentiated into primordial germ cells (PGCs) and fetal precursors of the spermatogenic lineage [50-61]. hiPSCs can enter meiosis and in some cases produce haploid products in vitro [55, 56, 60, 62, 63]. hESCs and hiPSCs are reported to differentiate directly into advanced male spermatogenic lineages in vitro [56, 62, 64-66]. However, the efficiency of generation of the human

    Spermatogenesis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Seminiferous tubule with maturing sperm. H&E stain. Spermatogenesis is the process by which male primordial germ cells called spermatogonia undergo meiosis, and produce a number of cells termed spermatozoa. The initial cells in this pathway are called primary spermatocytes. The primary spermatocyte divides into two secondary spermatocytes; each secondary spermatocyte then divides into two spermatids. These develop

    Meiosis and Genetic Diversity in Sordaria 979554296 Biology 110 Lab Introduction: In Israel there exists multiple spots in the mountains called Evolution Canyons, which are all located between a southern facing slope (SFS) and a northern facing slope (NFS). What’s particularly interesting about these locations is that despite the two slopes being on opposite sides of a small canyon, they exhibit extremely contrasting conditions. The SFS receives multiple times the UV radiation from the sun

    Discuss the Male Reproductive System 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

    Introduction: We explored the reproductive system. It is important because without it all living things would become extinct. The two different types of reproduction are sexual and asexual reproduction. Types of asexual reproduction include binary fission, budding, and fragmentation. Budding is when another organism grows out of the parent cell, and separates once it’s fully developed. Fragmentation is when an organism splits into more pieces which each form into their own organism. Binary fission
