Vas deferens

Today, I have a chance to observe a pathologist who had done an autopsy. The autopsy is begun at 7: 30 A.M. The first victim is a white woman, 50 years old. The body is enclosed in a black plastic bag. The victim is lying on her supine position with her palms faced forward. The pathologist palpates the head to examine any skull damages or trauma. He starts removing the brain by incision in the back of the skull, and then the scalp is removed. The brain is coved by meninges which are composed of three

Cystic Fibrosis (Mucoviscidosis) is a disease that changes how the body produces sweat, and mucus glands. It causes organs such as the lungs to not function properly, and could be life threatening. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease, and affects around 70,000 people worldwide. Every year a thousand new cases are reported. Specifically what Cystic Fibrosis affects is the cell’s permeability to move salt and water in and out. Damage progresses in the respiratory system and chronically in the digestive

Effects of Chronic Constipation on Health The word constipation comes from a Latin word constipare that means to crowd together. This digestive disorder makes it difficult for you to pass out stool. The problem is known to arise when food takes long in the colon, during digestion, resulting in too much absorption of water from the food making the excrements dry and hard. Possible Causes of Constipation i. Lack of adequate fiber in the diet ii. Fiber is usually low in foods that have high fat content

While cystic fibrosis (CF) is not a new disease, there is still a lot to learn about it. In 1938 a pathologist, Dr Dorothy Andersen, provided the first clear description of cystic fibrosis. Before this time there had been reports of people that had the symptoms of someone with CF. During the seventeenth century children with the symptoms of CF were thought to be bewitched and their life expectancy was very short. Dr Dorothy Andersen gave this disease its name because cystic fibrosis refers to the

Body Systems of Various Organisms All organisms in the world have a range of systems and organs in their body. Some organisms may share similar body systems while others have absolutely nothing in common. Several of those organisms include humans, pigs, crayfish, and earthworms. From their mushy, gushy organs to their soft, gentle skin, you may think, “How are humans and pigs possibly alike? Or a crayfish and an earthworm?” In many ways they may not be, but in other ways, they are very much alike

In men, infertility may be caused by; blocked or absent vas deferens (the tube that carries sperm to the urethra), a low sperm count/poor sperm production, the failure of sperm production, anti-sperm antibodies (cells that fight the sperm), sperm DNA fragmentation and/or genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis

long-term reversible male birth control option (Watson and Conger). The new gel form contraceptive that profoundly lowers sperm count is currently in progress. The procedure involves making a small incision in each scrotum through which the small vas deferens duct is pulled for the direct injections. So far RISUG has proven to be effective, safe and reversible with a second injection” (Mack 2011). Also there are other methods that are also being developed such as Plant based pill which are non- hormonal

these symptoms will get worse and cause other problems including coughing up mucus with blood, rectal prolapse, clubbing of the fingers, polyps in the sinuses, or not being able to have children. It’s hard for males to reproduce with CF because the vas deferens (tube that carries sperm from the testis to the penis) fails to develop properly. 4. “Such a lethal disease…should have died out long ago through natural selection.” Why? It should have died out because until recently it killed its victims before

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a serious disease that is life-threatening. This disease is characterized by the buildup of thick mucous in the lungs due to a defective gene within the body. It is a disease that is genetic which means that it is passed down from one’s parents. The disease is genetic because patients with Cystic Fibrosis inherit a defective gene on chromosome 7. This gene is responsible for protein production and the moving of water and salt in and out of the body’s cells. If a person inherits

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease affecting nearly 1 in 2,500 of people of Western European descent. The lifespan for anyone afflicted with cystic fibrosis ages from 30 to 40 years old with many complications presented throughout their life. These complications can include lung diseases that result in many different respiratory infections. Although cystic fibrosis is not a preventative nor curable disease, there are many different ways to help patients suffering from the disease by
