Various types of Twins

Image
         Twins are one of the separate kinds in human birth history. As it is very rare during birth it always marks a separate place in life. Also not every twin’s looks like same. On the before topic of  fertilization , we saw what fertilization is, and how a normal baby is formed through fertilization. In a nutshell, fertilization is the process, where a sperm meets the egg, and brings a new life. But it needs to be considered, that how a sperm fertilizes the egg and how a baby is born. A baby can be born as single if only one sperm fertilizes the ovum and that ovum makes its journey without dividing.  But there are several possibilities in which fertilization can occur. Those possibilities may result in various types of twins, which are, Identical twins Non-identical twins Semi identical twins Mirror image twins Mixed chromosome twins Heteropaternal superfecundation Superfetation Turner twins Polar body twins Parasitic twins Biraci...

Fertilization in humans

     Please note: This article contains sexual health content and it is purely made for educational purposes.     Fertilization is the process of fusion of two different types of sex (male and female) cells and developing a new organism from that fusion cell. Fertilization happens in every common species like plants, animals, and humans. But fertilization in humans is much more complicated and it is a needed one, to sustain our race. Let’s see about the process in detail. Sperm and an Ovum       Human fertilization occurs only in women , where she gives birth to a child from a single cell (ovum or egg cell) in her body. But to make the women get fertilized (i.e., to give birth to a child) a man is required , who delivers another type of cell (sperm cell) for the fertilization. So, when the sperm from the man and the ovum from the woman got fused in the woman’s body, fertilization occurs and that fusion cell develops into a f...

Male Reproductive System

   Please note: This article contains sexual health content and it is purely made for educational purposes. Sex cells     The reproductive  system in humans is one kind of system which enables a human to produce an offspring. This reproductive system is present in both males and females.  But generally, an offspring is produced in the female reproductive system with the help of the male productive system. The female reproductive system produces ovum as their sex cell and the male reproductive system produces sperm as their sex cell. When the sperm meets the ovum in the female reproductive system,   fertilization happens  and an offspring begins to form. The process of the female reproductive system is briefly explained in my previous post. https://sciencetopic03.blogspot.com/2021/12/female-reproductive-system.html      The male reproductive system is also a complex structure similar to the female reproductive system. The ma...

Female Reproductive System

Image
   Please note: This article contains sexual health content and it is purely made for educational purposes.      Sex cells      The female reproductive system is a type of system which has the capability of producing offspring that can develop into a fully-formed human being. The female reproductive system is located in the lower abdominal region of a woman, where its main job is to produce an ovum; also called as an unfertilized egg (a female sex cell) for fertilization. Similar to the female reproductive system, the  male reproductive system also produces its sex cells called sperms. When both the sex cell (ovum and sperm) meets, fertilization  happens in the female reproductive system and could develop into a baby. Fertilization is the process of fusion of two different types of sex cells to form a single cell. We can discuss the process of the male reproductive system and the process of fertilization briefly, in our next to nex...
