Reproductive system

And there has been a lot of early studies suggesting that the mechanical forces are playing some regulatory roles at different stages of the whole process.

But directly pinpointing the exact molecular mechanism for how our body senses the mechanical force and what exactly roles the mechanical forces have on the overall reproductive system has been difficult.

as there are so many different signaling mechanisms that can be affected by mechanical stretch, but they also tend to respond to a bunch of other biochemical signaling, making it very hard to isolate the specific effect from the mechanical force alone.

And that's why in my study, I turn into the mechanically activated channel, the piezo channels, which respond to mechanical stretch by simply opening to allow the calcium to enter the cell.

we are covering the basics of the reproductive systems and pregnancy for the NHA CCMA exam.

This is a topic where your role as a medical assistant is heavily tested, especially regarding procedures, communication, and patient privacy.

Let's start with the must-know anatomy.
