The Reproductive System What is it? The reproductive system is a collection of organs that work together for the purpose of producing a new life The major organs of the reproductive system include the external genitalia and internal organs‚ including gonads that produce gamete‚ which is a cell that fuses with another cell during conception in organisms that reproduce sexually. Substances such as fluids‚ hormones‚ and pheromones are also important to the effective functioning of the reproductive

This can be due to ischemia (lack of blood flow) caused by blockage (thrombosis‚ arterial embolism)‚ or a hemorrhage. Risk factors for

What is FAS/FASD? Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a set of physical and mental birth defects that can result when a woman drinks alcohol during her pregnancy. When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol‚ such as beer‚ wine‚ or mixed drinks‚ so does her baby. Alcohol passes through the placenta right into the developing baby. The baby may suffer lifelong damage as a result. FAS is characterized by brain damage‚ facial deformities‚ and growth deficits. Heart‚ liver‚ and kidney defects also are common‚ as

different methods are electroencephalogram‚ positron emission and tomography‚ Functional magnetic resonance imaging‚ and transcranial magnetic simulation imaging. The central core or also known as “old brain” is made up of the medulla‚ the pons‚ the cerebellum‚ the reticular formation‚ the thalamus‚ and the hypothalamus. The old brain is tasked with the most basic of functions such as eating and sleeping. The cerebral cortex or the “new brain” controls voluntary movement‚ the senses‚ and high thinking

physicians knew Aunt Dori would have some complications‚ but it was her underdeveloped lungs that caused major problems. The day after she was delivered‚ she stopped breathing. As a result of the deprivation of oxygen to her brain‚ pieces of her cerebellum‚ part of the brain that controls the regularity of muscle movements‚ died. Hours later‚ doctors confirmed she now has Cerebral Palsy (CP). To be more specific‚ she is an a-spastic quadriplegic‚ which means her muscles are always slightly contracted

Alec Connell Psy-101-22 W Professor Kulpa6/16/2014 The Brain Neuroscientists have proven that the activity in the brain is altered when an individual is subject to extremely stressful or exciting circumstances. In the documentary multiple unique qualities of the brain are explored‚ studied‚ and tested to determine how we can benefit from understanding the functions of the brain. Learning about the fundamentals of the brain in the text made understanding the procedures our brain undergoes to
