sex flush

Examples of sex flush in the following topics:

• Male Sexual Response

  • The increase in blood flow in the genitals and other regions may lead, in some men, to a sex flush.
  • After orgasm and ejaculation, a refractory period usually ensues, characterized by loss of erection, a decline in any sex flush, decreased interest in sex, and a feeling of relaxation associated with the action of the neurohormones oxytocin and prolactin.

• Accessory Sex Glands

  • The accessory sex glands produce seminal fluid and clean and lubricate the urethra.
  • The accessory sex glands, including the seminal, prostate glands, and bulbourethral glands, produce seminal fluid and clean and lubricate the urethra.
  • This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter.

• Biology of Sexual Behavior

  • If not fertilized, the egg is flushed out of the system through menstruation.
  • The main male sex organs are the penis and the testicles, the latter of which produce semen and sperm.
  • In most mammalian species, sex hormones control the ability to engage in sexual behaviors.
  • Sex drive may also be affected by medical conditions, medications, lifestyle stress, pregnancy, and relationship issues.
  • The excitement phase is the phase in which the intrinsic (inner) motivation to pursue sex arises.

• Female Sexual Response

  • A number of physiological changes occur in the body and mind in preparation for sex and continue during the act.
  • Other bodily changes include an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, as well as flushing across the chest and upper body.

• Absorption of Alcohol

  • This causes acetaldehyde levels to peak higher, producing more severe hangovers and other effects like flushing and tachycardia.
  • Compared with alcohol abstainers, the relative risk of gallstone disease, controlling for age, sex, education, smoking and body mass index, is 0.83 for occasional and regular moderate drinkers (< 25 ml of ethanol per day), 0.67 for intermediate drinkers (25-50 ml per day), and 0.58 for heavy drinkers.
  • This inverse association was consistent across strata of age, sex and body mass index.

• Human Sex-Linked Disorders

• Sex Determination

  • Mammalian sex is determined genetically by the presence of X and Y chromosomes .
  • This is referred to as environmental sex determination or, more specifically, as temperature-dependent sex determination.
  • In some species, sex is both genetic- and temperature-dependent.
  • The presence of X and Y chromosomes are one of the factors responsible for sex determination in mammals, with males being the heterozygous sex.
  • In birds, Z and W chromosomes determine sex, with females being the heterozygous sex.

• Defining Sex, Gender, and Sexuality

  • But have you ever been asked to provide your sex and your gender?
  • It may not have occurred to you that sex and gender are not the same.
  • Sex includes both primary sex characteristics (those related to the reproductive system) and secondary sex characteristics (those that are not directly related to the reproductive system, such as breasts and facial hair).
  • Typically, babies born with male sex characteristics (sex) are assigned as boys (gender); babies born with female sex characteristics (sex) are assigned as girls (gender). 
  • In humans, sex is typically divided into male, female, or intersex (i.e., having some combination of male and female sex characteristics).

• Type I (Anaphylactic) Reactions

  • Symptoms typically include raised bumps on the skin (; hives), itchiness, red face or skin (flushing), or swollen lips.
  • Hives and flushing on the back of a person with anaphylaxis
  • Hives and flushing on the back of a person with anaphylaxis

• MLA: Tables and Figures

  • Immediately above the table, write its number in the format "Table 1", followed by a short but descriptive title on the next line; both should be flush with the left margin:
  • This source section should end with a period, and it should be formatted with a hanging indent (i.e., the first line should be flush with the left margin, and every subsequent line should be indented 0.5 inches).
