What is oogenesis? Oogenesis is a type of gametogenesis. It is the process of producing female gametes, once sex determination of the embryo has occurred. The presence of the SRY gene on the Y chromosome leads to male gonad formation and spermatogenesis, while female gonad development is the âdefault stateâ.
One type of twist or kink is called a small bowel obstruction. This usually happens after a patient has had an abdominal operation like appendectomy, hysterectomy, or colon removal which leads to scar tissue or adhesions developing in the abdomen. The intestines can be come twisted, kinked, or obstructed around this scar tissue. This condition, called a small bowel obstruction, may require surgery for treatment in 20% of patients. Small bowel obstruction can also occur as the result of a hernia. Another type of intestinal twist is called a volvulus. This usually occurs in the colon, where a segment of the colon rotates 180 degrees like a roller coaster loop. This causes a blockage of the colon and may pinch off the blood supply to the colon.
A healthy liver is necessary for survival. The liver can regenerate most of its own cells when they become damaged. However, if injury to the liver is too severe or long lasting, regeneration is incomplete, and the liver creates scar tissue. Scarring of the liver, also called fibrosis, may lead to cirrhosis.The buildup of scar tissue that causes cirrhosis is usually a slow and gradual process.In the early stages of cirrhosis, the liver continues to function.rimary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic disease of the liver that is characterised by destruction of bile ducts. Estimates of annual incidence range from 2 to 24 people per million population, and estimates of prevalence range from 19 to 240 people per million population.
