Examples of assisted reproductive technology in the following topics:
-
- Infertility, or the ability to conceive, can be treated by assisted reproductive technologies which can aid conception.
- These include diseases (such as sexually-transmitted diseases that can cause scarring of the reproductive tubes in either men or women) or developmental problems frequently related to abnormal hormone levels in one of the individuals.
- If the cause of infertility is identified, several assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are available to aid conception.
- A common type of assisted reproductive technology is in vitro fertilization (IVF) where an egg and sperm are combined outside the body and then placed in the uterus.
-
- Plants have two main types of asexual reproduction: vegetative reproduction and apomixis.
- Many different types of roots exhibit vegetative reproduction .
- This method of reproduction is known as apomixis.
- Asexual reproduction can take place by natural or artificial (assisted by humans) means.
- Different types of stems allow for asexual reproduction.
-
- The control of reproduction in females is more complex than that of the male.
- Estradiol is the reproductive hormone in females that assists in endometrial regrowth, ovulation, and calcium absorption; it is also responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics of females.
- Progesterone assists in endometrial re-growth and inhibition of FSH and LH release .
- The ovarian and menstrual cycles of female reproduction are regulated by hormones produced by the hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovaries.
- The pattern of activation and inhibition of these hormones varies between phases of the reproductive cycle.
-
- Two types of selection that occur during the process of choosing a mate may be involved in the evolution of reproductive traits called secondary sexual characteristics.
- Another explanation is the "male-assistance hypothesis," where males that remain with a female to help guard and rear their young will have more and healthier offspring.
- In seahorse reproduction, the male receives the eggs from the female, fertilizes them, protects them within a pouch, and gives birth to the offspring.
-
- The walls of blood vessels, the tubes of the digestive system, and the tubes of the reproductive systems are composed primarily of smooth muscle.
- This line, an intercalated disc, assists in passing electrical impulses efficiently from one cell to the next while maintaining the strong connection between neighboring cardiac cells, allowing the cardiac muscle cells to synchronize the beating of the heart.
- Cardiac muscle tissue also has intercalated discs, specialized regions running along the plasma membrane that join adjacent cardiac muscle cells and assist in passing an electrical impulse from cell to cell.
-
- Photosynthates are directed primarily to the roots during early development, to shoots and leaves during vegetative growth, and to seeds and fruits during reproductive development.
- They assist with metabolic activities and produce energy for the STEs .
-
- Ecologists use the term to describe populations that are harvested at a rate that is unsustainable, given their natural rates of mortality and capacities for reproduction.
- For example, most fisheries are managed as a common resource even when the fishing territory lies within a country's territorial waters; because of this, fishers have very little motivation to limit their harvesting, and in fact technology gives fishers the ability to overfish.
-
- Cephalopods, such as squids and octopi, also produce sepia or a dark ink, which is squirted upon a predator to assist in a quick getaway.
- Reproduction in cephalopods is different from other mollusks in that the egg hatches to produce a juvenile adult without undergoing the trochophore and veliger larval stages.
