How might the inability of egg/sperm cells to divide affect the overall health of a person?

Um, if that doesn't happen you cannot have a child. But otherwise, it wouldn't necessarily effect the health of a woman. Some people are infertile, but it isn't harmful to their physical health.

Mitosis is the cell division that takes place in most type of cells. In this division the entire DNA of the cell is replicated. The original cell divides into two daughter cells. Mitosis gives rise to almost all the cells in the body. \nA different type of cell division called meiosis gives rise to sperm and eggs. Here the daughter cells have only half the number of homologous chromosomes. This is because on fertilization the sperm and oveum will combine to form the zygote which will develop into the baby. Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes by half, so in humans each sperm and each egg has only 23 chromosomes, including one chromosome from each pair of homologous chromosomes.

An egg, and a sperm both contain a nucleus which holds half of our DNA (23 chromosomes). All of our other cells contain 46 Chromosomes. In the lab, they harvest an egg from which ever species they are cloning, and they remove the nucleus. They can then take the nucleus of a normal 46 chromosome cell and put it inside the egg- where it's nucleus used to be. The egg then "thinks" it is fertilized and will start to divide, and grow. This embryo is an exact replica of the parent cell. Cloning is a form of asexual reproduction, because sex was not involved in the creation of the new embryo. There are many ethical issues surrounding cloning. Some argue that scientists are "playing God" because they are creating new life. Some say that if a human were to be cloned- it would have no soul because it was not created by God. There are too many ethical issues to type here, but you get the idea. You'll have to decide for yourself where you stand. Hope this helps. good luck in school

Theres absolutely NO connection between your 'mood' and your sperms. It doesn't matter how good you feel or how bad you feel, you make as many sperms as your bodys capacity.

Well to begin, vacuoles, the cytoskeleton, and cilia are not oraganelles but are still important.  All of these on your list are vital.  If the nucleus failed to work, then immediately the cell would cease to function because no direction or synthesis would be available.  The ERs handle, at least in simple terms, protein production necessary for cell life.  If the Golgi stopped, all of the cells produced material would buuld up in the cell and nothing could be transported from the cell, ending in collapse.  Lysosomes protect and destroy foreign or unwanted substances, so those ceasing would probably end in the cell dying of an infection or foreign problem.  The vacuoles are not organelles but are simply small bubbles of membrane used for transport, they bring in necessary substances from the outside of the cell using glycoproteins.  Chloroplasts are in only plant cells, and give the cell energy- without them, no energy to do things.  Same goes for mitochondrion, except they can be in both animals and plants.  Cytoskeleton is necessary only in animal cells and without it the cell would collapse and cease to function.  The cilia/flagella regulate movement, and altho arent necessary to the cell directly, and altho they arent always on cells, could have a negative effect if the cell could not get to its needed location.\n\nOverall, most are necessary for cell life, and please forgive any simplifications etc these are very simple descriptions of complex things.

Find out when your ovulating,and have intercourse 3-4 time's a week,anything less and you could be missing the day your most fertile,anything more and it weakens the sperm. dont smoke,drink alcohol(either of you),no tight pants,or underwear,and that goes for both of you as well,are you healthy,do you both eat right? There could be a number of things,but if after a year of trying with no success,then you both need to go in,and they will check him first because it's simpler and less costly,if he is fine,then you will go through test's as well,and if both test's come back fine,they will then send you to a fertility specialist,and the first thing they will do is have you find out when you ovulate for sure and have you go by that for a while and if that doesn't work,you will then be on fertility drug's,and the drugs will be raised in dose as time goes by,but beware,the higher the dose,the more multiples you could have. I've been through every step of this,and after two year's,gave up and stopped the drugs,and a year later,we were pregnant! Hope this helped a little :)

First off, cancer is an otherwise perfectly healthy cell that starts reproducing but doesn't stop when it should. \n\nMost cells in adult multicellular organisms don't divide because more cells aren't needed. Take yourself as an example: Once you stop growing your heart has all it needs to function, your lungs are big enough, and you have plenty of skin. If your cells didn't stop dividing you would keep growing, such is the case in people suffering from Gigantism.\n\nWhen cell loss (through damage or 'old age') is detected a chemical switch is flipped and surrounding cells are stimulated to divide in order fill the gap. Once the gap has been filled cells are supposed to stop reproducing.\n\nIf that "switch" gets broken or stuck in the "on" position, the cells won't stop dividing, and their offspring don't stop dividing. The new cells pile up on each other, forming a lump, and they'll keep dividing, making more cells, and more, and more, and more. That is cancer.

Sperm production is not under your direct control, so unless you have some disease which causes low sperm production, watching gay movirs, or whatever other kinds of movies have NIOTHING to do with sperm count.

I think sex has something to do with it...but I'm not sure.\n\nbut after that, 2 eggs 2 sperms individually...duh

the cell would not be able to grow or repair it self...the cell would most likely die.

it means your sperm cells are not alive

Simply being as healthy as you can be will make your sperm count as high as is possible.  If you smoke, quit (you can lower your fertility count by as much as 50% by smoking--nicotine, as well as carbon monoxide, destroys sperm's motility).  Heat to the prostate and testicles can destroy sperm counts, so watch the hot-tub and hot baths.  Fitness routines involving weight-bearing excercises stimulate testosterone production, which in turn stimulates the production of spermoza, so you'd do well to start an excercise regimen.\n\nBut here's something to consider:  If the most fertile man in the world and the most fertile woman in the world were to have sex, that particular session would only have a 20-25% chance of resulting in pregnancy.  If you've been trying to concieve for more than a year of regular sexual activity, it would be a good idea to consult a fertility doctor, who can likely nail down the problem.

Human is said to be sterile when he cannot produces sperms /or she caanot produce eggs,they can feel real sex pleasure and natural functions but with out production

Look into PCOS, poly cystic ovarian syndrome. It is ONE reason. Your insulin and blood sugar are out of wack and your eggs dont grow, making periods irregular and getting pregnant harder. If you have good medical insurance have your doctor refer you to a fertility specialist. They can narrow down what the problem is. It might even be your man!

As far as I know, it´s not the woman´s eggs but the guy´s sperm that can get killed! If a couple can´t get pregnant, the doctor usually recommends the man not to wear tight underwear, very heavy pants or anything that can get that area overheated.

Oligospermia (oligo = few, spermia = sperm, duh) is a condition where there is a low sperm count in the semen/ejaculate of a male. The normal sperm count would be 20 - 200 million/ml. Any count below 20 million/ml would indicate that an individual has oligospermia.\n\nIt is a major cause of male infertility (NOTE: it does not mean sterility). The sperm count is reduced, hence reducing the chances of a fertilization (union of sperm & ovum). Reduced. It is still possible for fertilization to occur - chances are even higher if the sperms' motility rate is high.\n\nBtw, oligospermia may be permanent or temporary. Temporary oligospermia may be caused by illness, stress, etc.

There is now a great deal of scientific knowledge about the use of nutritional supplements and their beneficial effects on both male and female fertility. These supplements can be very effective in re-balancing hormones, as well as improving overall health, which is so vital for successful conception.  Supplements are necessary because even the best diet in the world will not contain all the nutrients you need to give you the best chance of conceiving.\n\n\nFolic Acid\n\nResearch has shown that giving B6 to women who have trouble conceiving increases fertility and vitamin B12 has been found to improve low sperm counts\n\n\nZinc\n\nZinc is found in high concentrations in the sperm. Zinc is needed to make the outer layer and tail of the sperm and is, therefore, essential for the health of your sperm and, subsequently, your baby. Interestingly, several studies have also shown that reducing zinc in a man's diet will also reduce his sperm count.\n\n\nSelenium\n\nGood levels of selenium are essential to maximise sperm formation. Blood selenium levels have been found to be lower in men with low sperm counts.\n\n\nEssential Fatty Acids (EFAs)\n\nThese essential fats have a profound effect on every system of the body, including the reproductive system and they are crucial for healthy hormone functioning. For men essential fatty acid supplementation is crucial because the semen is rich in prostaglandins which are produced from these fats. Men with poor sperm quality, abnormal sperm, poor motility or low count, have inadequate levels of these beneficial prostaglandins.\n\n\n\nVitamin E\n\n\nVitamin E is another powerful antioxidant and has been shown to increase fertility when given to both men and women. Men going for IVF treatment with their partners have been given vitamin E, and fertilisation rates have, as a result, increased from 19 to 29 percent. It has been suggested that the antioxidant activity of vitamin E might make the sperm more fertile.\n\n\nVitamin C\n\nVitamin C is also an antioxidant, and studies show that vitamin C enhances sperm quality. Some research has indicated that certain types of DNA damage in the sperm can make it difficult to conceive in the first place. Vitamin C also appears to keep the sperm from clumping together, making them more motile.\n\nL-Arginine\n\nThis is an amino acid found in many foods and the head of the sperm contains an exceptional amount of this nutrient, which is essential for sperm production. Supplementing with L-arginine can help to increase both the sperm count and quality.\n\n\nL-Carnitine\n\nThis amino acid is essential for normal functioning of sperm cells. According to research, it appears that the higher the levels of L-Carnitine in the sperm cells, the better the sperm count and motility.
