  Reproductive system - Medicow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The male reproductive system consists of the testes and their associated ducts to conduct sperm to the outside, also of various male accessory glands which produce non-sperm components of the ejaculate, and that portion of the urethra which is used for the transport of semen.
Sexual reproduction is the process of producing offspring for the survival of the species, and passing on hereditary traits from one generation to the next.
The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for excitation in the male and female.

(The genital anatomy described here, along with the neuroanatomy and hormonal systems that enable it to perform ejaculation, have as primary evolutionary functions the impregnation of a fertile female of the same species (or a sufficiently close one), via sexual intercourse with her.)
In normal adult human males, testicular size ranges from the lower end of around 14 cm³ to the upper end larger than 35 cm³.
Measurement in the living adult is done in two basic ways: (1) comparing the testicle with ellipsoids of known sizes (orchidometer), or (2) measuring the length, depth and width with a ruler, a pair of calipers or ultrasound imaging.

The sex chromosomes are one of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes.
The human Y chromosome is unable to recombine with the X chromosome, except for small pieces on the ends, which comprise about 5% of the chromosome's length.
In human genetic genealogy (the application of genetics to traditional genealogy) use of the information contained in the Y chromosome is of particular interest since, unlike other genes, the Y chromosome is passed exclusively from father to sons.

 homology Information Center - definition of homology
homology between monkey and human serum This is not always true for paralogs: due to lack of the original selective pressure upon one copy human/rabbit dna homology of the duplicated gene, this copy is free to mutate and acquire new functions.
Paralogous genes often belong to the same species, but this is not necessary: for example, the hemoglobin gene of humans and the myoglobin gene of chimpanzees are paralogs.
This is a common problem in bioinformatics: when the genome of different species have been sequenced and homologous genes have been found, one can not immediately conclude that these genes have the same or similar function, as they could be paralogs whose function has diverged.

 Testicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In mammals, the testes are located outside of the body, as they are suspended by the spermatic cord and within the scrotum.
This is due to the fact that spermatogenesis in mammals is more efficient at a temperature somewhat less than the core body temperature (37°C or 98.6°F for humans).
At least for humans, testicular prostheses are available to mimic the appearance and feel of one or both testicles, when absent as from injury or as treatment for gender identity disorder.

Given this difference in aging patterns between humans and chimpanzees, we examined the expression levels of the chimpanzee orthologs of the 841 human genes that change expression with age in frontal pole in order to see if the expression levels of the chimpanzee orthologs of these genes resemble young humans, old humans, or neither.
We then calculated, for both human and chimpanzee prefrontal cortex, the average expression level for the set of genes that increase expression with age in frontal pole, as well as the average for the genes that decrease expression with age.

For example, Epstein-Barr virus is present in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease tumors, and human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is found in all primary effusion lymphomas.
For example, the HHV-8 genome contains a homologue of the human bcl-2 oncogene, and as with human bcl-2, its expression effectively blocks cell apoptosis.
The HHV-8 genome also contains homologues of other human genes: a viral IL-6 gene whose expression mimics human IL-6 in stimulation of cell proliferation; a viral macrophage inflammatory protein that modulates replication of viruses; and a novel receptor-like gene called K1 that structurally resembles immune cell receptors.
