fertilised with the father's sperm, where the genetic structure of the embryo (in some cases it can be an immature egg cell; an oocytes) is analysed. With genetic screening, the embryos containing the undesired traits, such as sever health issues, are terminated. When the correct traits are found in the embryo, it is inserted in to the mother. With genetic modification, a third biological parent can be created when the genes of the original parents are removed from an egg with unreliable mitochondrial

Body Systems Preparation Part III In the reading from the book, Human Body Systems, team A will give a brief overview of the skeletal, muscular, encoring and male and female reproductive systems and explain what we did or did not already know, what we found interesting and why, as well as what we learned from this week that can help team A with week five presentation. In chapter eleven, on the skeletal system, the human skeleton consists of 206 bones and provides support to our bodies. After reading

C. Treatment III. Causes A. Ovulation Disorders Article by Robin Weiss B. Quote from Weiss “Ovulation is the other cornerstone of your fertility. Just as you cannot get pregnant without a lining for the fertilized egg to burrow into, if there is no egg to fertilize pregnancy is not possible” C. Paraphrase from article. IV. Symptoms A. Symptoms of Infertility by The Staff at Mayo Clinic 1. Quote by the staff “The main symptom of infertility is the inability

frequent urination.[4] Pregnancy may be confirmed with a pregnancy test.[5] Pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters. The first trimester is from week one through 12 and includes conception. Conception is when the sperm fertilizes the egg. The fertilized egg then travels down the fallopian tube and attaches to the inside of the uterus, where it begins to form the fetus and placenta.[1] The first trimester carries the highest risk of miscarriage (natural death of embryo or fetus).[6]

Deletion syndrome. It is caused by a deletion of chromosome 22q11 or chromosome 22. It happens when a small piece of genetic material is missing. Because there is a copy of this chromosome from each parent something could've gone wrong in the sperm cell or egg cell. It is completely random. Some symptoms of this disease are: Heart defects, cleft palate or lip, breathing problems, delayed speech and growth, and learning difficulty. This can be passed down from parent to child so if your child were

appetite (Kids Health, 2007). Cystic Fibrosis does not affect the reproductive tract in a life threating way. It affects males and females differently. In males with cystic fibrosis the Vas Deferens is atrophied or missing this tube is what carries the sperm (Genetics Home Reference, 2009). This condition is called congenital bilateral absence of the Vas Deferens. Most males born with

Infectious and Non-infectious Disease Infectious and non-infectious diseases are two different types of diseases. Infectious disease is caused by an organism or an infective agent, known as pathogens. It can be passed from one person to another directly or indirectly where the pathogen transmits from the environment to people. Whereas, non-infectious diseases are not caused by pathogens, they are inherited. It can only be passed from generation to generation as the disease may be running in the
