Embryology Week 1 Ovarian cycle: GnRH from hypothalamus FSH and LH from pituitary cyclic changes in the ovary. Follicular phase: * 15-20 preantral follicles start to grow due to FSH * 1 reaches full maturity released * Others undrgo atresia * Estrogens are released which; 1. Proliferate endometrium 2. Thin the cervical mucus 3. Stimulate pituitary to release LH * The LH; 1. Elevate concentrations of maturation promoting factor (oocytes complete

Jordan Jackson Ms. Currie AP English 3‚ Period 3 15 November 2012 Stem Cell Research: Medical Advantages Greatly debated‚ stem cell research is very controversial; especially embryonic stem cell research. Many debate over the ethics of the research versus the medical advantages. The medical advantages outweigh the ethical views. The mass of embryonic stem cells that are used come for in vitro fertilization (IVF) (Black). Those cells are disposed as medical waste—using them for research gives

Fertilization –introduction Amphibians accomplish fertilization of their eggs in a variety of ways. External fertilization‚ employed by most frogs and toads‚ involves a male holding a female in a pose called amplexus. In amplexus‚ the male releases sperm over the female’s eggs as they are laid. Less risky is the method employed by many salamanders whereby the male deposits a packet of sperm called a spermatophore onto the ground. The female then pulls it into her cloaca where fertilization occurs

After setting up an appointment and meeting with a lawyer specializing in adoption‚ many thing became clear. We would need to give serious consideration to the health of the fetus prior and post birth. We would also need to have a

MEIOSIS We study Gametes through a Karyotype Each pair is called a homologous pair Diploid= 23 pairs of chromosomes and 46 total chromosomes (2n) Haploid= 23 individual pairs Mitosis- makes body cells‚ or asexual reproduction like cloning Meiosis- makes sex cells Crossing Over- Occurs in Prohpase I - each group of 4 chromatids are called a tetrad. Individual chromatids may wrap around eachother and pieces may break off and reattach to other chromatids. Genes on chromosomes may change places

Homeostasis is vital in every living being. Unfortunately‚ genetic factors such as mutations or physical damage such as injuries‚ ‘lung disease’ or any diseases can cause lack of or abnormal functioning of organs. Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) which are stem cells that are derived from the embryo and are capable of creating other cell types in the human body can assist the affected individuals maintain homeostasis in their bodies. Parents have the right to agree to the use embryonic stem cells

What is your opinion about using animals for research? When thinking about how much I love and adore animals‚ I also think about how far we have gotten scientifically because of their sacrifices. When reading the APA website I agree with the Justification of the Research and that Research should be undertaken with a clear scientific purpose. There should be a reasonable expectation that the research will: 1. Increase knowledge of the process underlying the evolution‚ development‚ maintenance‚ alteration
