spermatic cord. The spermatic cord is a structure that contains the vas deferens, blood vessels and nerves, and the cremaster muscle. This muscle controls the movement of testicle within the scrotum when there is a change in temperature and sexual stimulation (Rathus & Fichner-Rathus, 2011). The testes are responsible for the production of mature germ cells and the secretion of sex hormones. The epididymis is a tube that stores sperm and lies against the back wall of each testicle. The accessory glands

The aim of phychosurgery is to use physical procedures to treat mental disorders such as depression by destroying sections of the brain or by severing nerve connections that connect the frontal lobe to the rest of the brain. In the past it was belived that these would re-generate into healthy connections, however this idea was later proven to be invalid. As well as depression, psychosurgery has also been used for people with severe OCD, bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia. This first assumption

cGMP which produces the smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum allowing for an influx of blood leading to an erection. Sildenafil has no effect on patients without sexual stimulation because it only inhibits the PDE-5. The erection is primarily caused by the release of nitric oxide during sexual stimulation, and the enhanced downstream effects occur due to the PDE-5 inhibition. The corpus cavernosum is not the only location of PDE-5 receptors. Other tissues that have these receptors are

If there is an over stimulation or under stimulation of dopamine, the subthalamic nucleus will put a brake on the globus-pallidus interna(GPi) and result in a shutdown of motion. An overly stimulated GPi will cause a decrease of output to the thalamus and result in tremors. Regarding body

neuromuscular activation by means of electrical stimulation. Persons with paraplegia also exhibit reduced exercise capacity and increased heart rate responses (compared with the non-disabled), which have been associated with circulatory limitations within the paralysed tissues. The recommendations for endurance and strength training in persons with SCI do not vary dramatically from the advice offered to the general population. Systems of functional electrical stimulation activate muscular contractions within
