you did a very good job explaining the differences! I did not even think of how females have a time frame and menopause is part of this female reproductive systems work

Love the way you explained it you did a fantastic job!

The reproductive system is a very important part of the human body, and it is a sex organ and part of the brain. The reproductive system develops during puberty its secondary sexual characteristics that we have as humans that make us female and male. It’s how we create new life, the biological process to keep the human species alive. The reproductive system is controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain. In females it produces the hormone GnRH and has anterior pituitary gland follicles that stimulate hormones for the reproductive system. Also, lactation for the baby after birth and for the cervix to push the baby out is sent by those hormones the brain sends out. The reproductive system can either be female or male. There are many differences between the male and female reproductive systems. Female reproductive systems are made up of different parts. Females have 2 ovaries that are in charge of producing one egg a month, which gets released through the fallopian tubes that connect the ovaries and uterus, where the baby grows. If no sperm is present, it sheds, which is the female menstruation. The ovaries also produce estrogen and progesterone, chemicals that make your breasts grow, for example. The uterus is made up of muscles, as it has to stretch for a growing baby and needs the power to contract and push out the baby at the end of the 40 weeks. The uterus connects to the vagina, which is a canal the penis enters through the vulva to deposit the sperm with hope to meet the egg after traveling through and where the baby exits through. The vulva is the external part of the female reproductive system that’s made up of labia majora and minora and your urethra, where urine passes through. The female reproductive system includes the lower mid-pelvic area and the breast. The male reproductive system is made up of a penis, which is the shaft that has a gland opening. This gland opening on the shaft is where urine passes through and where sperm travels through to exit the body during ejaculation through the urethra. The urethra is located in the shaft. Unlike women, who have two ovaries below the shaft, there are two testicles that store millions of sperm cells; the male reproductive system makes them daily vs. the one egg released in the female reproductive system. The testicles have to maintain cooler temperatures for sperm and make the testosterone hormone vs. women making estrogen and progesterone. The testosterone is in charge of the body hair on a male and the deepening of his voice as well as his muscles. Males have vas deferens, which is responsible for connecting the testicles to the urethra for the traveling of the sperm. It also is made up of a seminal vesicle located inside the body that produces fluids to nourish sperm and then a prostate to make the rest of the seminal fluid the body produces. The testicles are always working, making millions of sperm. Males have one area, the lower pelvic area only.

Thank you for breaking it down fantastic job!

[Shannelys Guzman]

You did a great job explaining!

[Shannelys Guzman]

Love your breakdown of the different parts!

A neuron is a nerve cell. A nerve cell is made up of three parts the cell body, dendrites, and axon. It has one main function a major one and that is to receive information and transmit the possibility of an action for our whole entire body. From reacting to a deer running across the road to a blinking. These occur because our nerve cells speak to each other carrying information. Our body has over a 1000 different kinds of neurons.

The cell body also called the soma is the cells way of living, its life support. It contains a nucleus and many other specialized organelles. The dendrites are short and bushy fibrous roots that transmit information.They can be found around the soma and can be more than one set of dendrites. The axon works as the way of communication on a trail-like structure delivering electrical impulses from the cell body through the axon to pass info to another neuron. Neurons have one main axon. Axons join the cell body by a junction called the axon hillock. Axons are covered in myelin sheaths. Myelin sheath is a fatty substance of liquid and protein that layers the axons causing insulation. When the signals travel through the axons it has the node of ranvier to make it faster as it delivers a message via synapse. Synapse is when a neuron delivers a chemical or electrical signal to another neuron via the axon.

Great job explaining the differences!

The differences between the two blood vessels artery and vein are significant. An arteries job is to carry oxygenated blood with high pressure through the body. It’s a thick elastic like blood vessels that live deep under the skin. An artery can be felt they have a pulse due to coming from the pumping heart so it copies its behavior pumping with strong flow to make it get to all organs. While a veins job is to bring back all the deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart to be deoxygenated and distributed through the arteries again. The veins live close to the skin and do not have any pulse so they cannot be felt. The blood vessel walls on veins are thin. Blood flows slowly with very low pressure back to the heart which requires it to have valves so the blood does not go back.

The heart is a muscle organ with four chambers whose functions are vital to our body. The four chambers are in charge of pushing oxygenated blood through the body to all organs and receiving the deoxygenated blood back and preparing it with more oxygen to get pushed back through the body for distribution. The names of the four chambers are right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle. Each has a very important job that is essential to the heart’s job. The four chambers work together recycling creating blood and pushing it to flow through to keep our bodies alive.

Agree, very useful video but yes I do also wish we had clarity.

[Shannelys Guzman]

I also loved learning that focusing on visual images helps the brain receive more information. Agree definitely a great tool.

[Shannelys Guzman]

I really enjoyed that video it was very informative. I learned about various techniques medical interpreters can use to have success day to day. How our ears are not most important to have good mental retention but our eyes are. Some of the techniques are visualization, making a timeline, note taking, idea mapping, learning vocab, backward reading, dieting and eating. I am happy I was taught all of this information to put into work when assisting the providers and patients during the visits.

I love the way you pointed out stress because that is very true!

Great metaphor “When someone is anxious or overwhelmed, the brain has a hard time focusing and storing new information. It’s like trying to pour water into a cup that’s already full.”

[Shannelys Guzman]

Love the way you put that great job explaining.

Good mental retention is inhibited by many things. Studies show sleep as one of the key components. Lacking sleep can cause you to make mistakes and not accurately do your job interpreting to the best of your abilities. During a research it was discovered that sleep is when the memory consolidates. During the consolidation when in the deepest sleep REM, the body works together enhancing your memories activity. Not giving your body the proper rest has a negative impact on many crucial body functions. Another thing that affects mental retention is your health, how much you pour into your body. If you don’t exercise or eat healthy that also affects drastically as certain diseases cause your memory to decline.

It has been proven good mental retention is a key component to our success. Successful interpreters are alert and present. We can listen striving for one thing only, to be accurate when interpreting to provide correct information. In order to do that we must practice good mental retention. So we can make out what words mean in those moments we hear something new. So we can listen and retain it to then say it back.
