  • Essential For Male Development Mullerian
    443 words
    The Hormones and Development of One's Sex The objectives of this article as I saw them were, (1) to show how fetal gonads acquire the ability to function as endocrine organs, and (2), to show the mechanisms by which the endocrine secretions modulate male development. The researchers went through an extremely extensive explanation of the formation of the sexual phenotypes by detailing the development of germ cells. They explained how women's and men's gonads appear identical until Ley dig cells, ...
  • Anterior Pituitary Hormones Thyrotropin And Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
    1,109 words
    Hormones are organic substances that are secreted by plants and animals and that function in the regulation of physiological activities and in maintaining homeostasis. They carry out their functions by evoking responses from specific organs or tissues that are adapted to react to minute quantities of them. The classical view of hormones is that they are transmitted to their targets in the bloodstream after discharge from the glands that secrete them. This mode of discharge (directly into the blo...
  • Reproductive System In Martini
    895 words
    I chose to compare the Martini chapter, which I will refer to as "Martini", to "Human Anatomy" by Kent Van De Graaff, which I will refer to as "Graaff". The chapter being compared in both texts is the reproductive system. Graaff decided to separate the male and female reproductive systems into two chapters, which didn't help or hurt the content. Both texts provided very good information, and both had their good and not so good aspects. The opening pages of both texts look very similar and provid...
  • Hormone Studies And Ideas
    912 words
    MISCONCEPUALIZATION OF HORMONE RESEARCH Hormone research has been greatly influenced by cultural assumptions about the dimorphism of gender. Much of the scientific data produced and taken as 'knowledge' reaffirms social ideologies already thought to be true and uses this data to essentially prove these ideas. In the case of hormone research, ideas about the innate differences between males and females were imposed upon the scientific methodologies and the conclusions made. The misconception of e...
  • Progesterone And Testosterone The Sex Hormones
    876 words
    Along with the above-mentioned sexual hormones, scientists, in the recent times, tend to associate pheromone with sexual attraction as well. Pheromone, odor produced by an animal that affects the behavior of other animals. The way pheromones work is analogous to the way hormones in the body send specific chemical signals from one set of cells to another, causing them to perform a certain action. The study, led by psychologists Kathleen Stern and Martha McClintock at the University of Chicago in ...
  • Development Of The Female And Male
    1,100 words
    Concerns the determination of the gonads. In mammals, determination strictly chromosomal; not influenced by the environment. Most cases- female = XX; male = XY Every individual organism has atleast one X Chromosome. Since the female has 2 X chromosomes, each of her eggs posses one X chromosome. The male posses an X and a Y, so therefore the male can produce 2 kinds of sperm, one with an X chromosome and one with a Y chromosome. If an offspring receives an X and a Y, then it will be a male. TheY ...
  • Importance Of Androgens In Male Sex Characteristics
    1,723 words
    Androgens are hormones that effect both male sexual behaviour and male characteristics (Sutherland, 1995). In order to discuss the importance of androgens in male sex characteristics, organizational affects in prenatal hormonal gender and the development of the male internal and external sex organs will be discussed using androgen insensitivity syndrome to explain the importance of androgens. The role of androgens in sexual maturation and the effects of deficient androgen production in Klinefelt...
  • Hormone Mimics
    553 words
    A lack of authoritative evidence of adverse health effects in humans, yet abundant suggestive evidence associating these chemicals with problems in animals, has provided for a volatile debate. The mounting of scientific evidence on hormone mimics spurred the government to pass legislation requiring that all pesticides be screened for estrogenic hormones according to Goldfarb. Detection of estrogenic hormones are also being implemented in drinking water. The World Resources Institute reports that...
