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.
All the followings are functions of Sertoli cells except? Select one: a. Phagocytosis of spermatogenesis b. Support epithelial cells c. Source of nutrition of developing sperms d. Have role in spermatogenesis e. Formation of blood testis barrier
Which of the following statements correctly describes the function of the Sertoli cells? Select one: a. Support the developing sperm cells b. Control the overproduction of testosterone c. Stimulate spermatogenesis d. Store testosterone in the testes
When investigating fertility concerns, a common course of action is to rule out sperm cell-related causes of infertility first since obtaining the relevant specimens is generally less invasive. Vitality is another commonly assessed parameter, particularly when motility is deemed poor since it allows physicians to differentiate between live and dead sperm cells. Describe what you would expect to observe (after using the microscope) in the case of a live sperm cell and why? How can you distinguish it from a dead sperm cell in the same sample?
Which of the following statements correctly describes the function of the Sertoli cells? a. Stimulate spermatogenesis b. Support the developing sperm cells c. Control the overproduction of testosterone d. Store testosterone in the testes
What happens if an oocyte combines with sperm? Describe the processes involved in implantation. Mention what is occurring, where it is occurring, and any significant hormones involved. How does the zygote make its way through the uterine tube? Women who smoke cigarettes have an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy because the chemicals they absorb paralyze cilia all through the body. Explain.
Infection of the fallopian tubes can lead to infertility. Why would this be so?

Chlamydia is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. If not treated, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and epididymitis in men. PID can cause scar tissues in the structure responsible for transporting the fertilized egg and in the tissue that is maintained by progesterone during a menstrual cycle, leading to infertility. In the diagram above, the structures associated with PID for the effects described above are numbered Select one: a. 1, which is the Fallopian tube, and 3, which is the endometrium, respectively b. 1, which is the Fallopian tube, and 4, which is the endometrium, respectively c. 4, which is the uterus, and 6, which is the cervix, respectively d. 3, which is the uterus, and 7, which is the cervix, respectively
