Have Sperm, Will Travel

Have Sperm, Will Travel

We filled with fuel at the INTERSTATE Shell before renting a boat at LUMEN's dock. Our ship was the SS REED V, fitted with a 14-cylinder MITOCHONDRIA engine. We left our berth between the SEMINIFEROUS trees and took a heading thru the Strait of TUBULE to RETE's Marina, a large place with lots of mooring. We passed a musician with an "E Flat Fer Rent" and manoeuvered through the convoluted waterway designed by EPPI -- a Testy fellow, before hitting the Vast of DEFERENS. We headed north, then west where the PUBLIC SYMPHONY rehearsed, around the URINALS to pause at a preacher's houseboat (a SEMINARY VESSEL) for some sugar and to go pee. We saw a DUCK EJACULATING -- much to our embarrassment. Still needing food, we pulled up to the nationalist PRO-STATE store, a chestnut colored vessel, for milky substances. The next stop was at COWPER's Garage for oil, a place we hated because he was downright alkaline and viscous. Next section was for "MEMBERS only", followed by beggars Sponging for valuables. We gave 'er full throttle and squirted to the U-TURN bar for some real fun!"
What was said? Sperm are nourished by the intestate cells and born in the seminiferous tubules of the lobules. Using 14 mitochondria to power their tails, they travel to the straight tubules, Rete testis, efferent ducts, epididymus ductus, epididymus tubule, vas deferens, pubic symphysis, seminal vesicle, ejaculatory duct, prostate gland, cowper's gland, and the three parts of the urethra: prostatic, membranous, spongiosa, and occasionally end up in the uterine cavity.

Journey through the kidneys

The sun was setting on the desert and I raised my eyes to the heavens. In the northern sky glowed ARCTURUS, the sight of which made my ARTIERIES throb. I started along a winding path lined with trees bearing reddish-brown bark (cortex). One tree held a sign advertising A FLAT FOR RENT. The trees gave way to COLUMNS of an old temple next to one of the many PYRAMIDS of NEPHRON. Nephron was fussy about concentration ... no imbalances in the salt trade were tolerated. I went inside the tomb of Nephron and saw a drawing of a GLOMERULIAN space CAPSULE. Further along the winding passageway DESCENDED and I could hear a popular song playing ahead of me. Where the path made a U-turn, the music became clearer ... it was a Don HENLY song LOOPed over and over. The CONVOLUTED and ASCENDING path took me to the FRoNT passage where I found myself walking past a DUCK COLLECTING money for a PAPAL visit from the MAJOR and MINOR CALICES. My PELVIS hurt and I felt that Urinating now would make me GLADDER. Once inside a large room I realized I could not leave the way I entered because a guard named DETRUSSER wouldn't allow it. I walked across a RUG (rugae is plural) floor and past the Egyptian sphynx (SPHINCTER is plural) and out the URETHERA.

pituitary gland

Enough Hormones to Make a GOAT FLAP
The pituitary gland is attached to the lower surface of the brain and looks like a miniature scrotum. The two "balls" are termed adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis. The Adenohyphysis is Anterior. The pituitary produces eight hormones: growth hormone, oxytocin, adenocorticotropin, thyroid stimulating hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, leutinizing hormone (interstitial cell stimulating hormone in males), anti-diruetic, and prolactin ... which can be remembered by their initial letters making GOAT FLAP. A 9th hormone, melanocyte stimulating hormone, is not well-underst

==He Licks Her Helix and Other Ear Facts

Two parts of the outer ear (auricle) are easily recalled by amorous students because a male lover will often lick the helix (top part) of a girl's ear. The LOwer portion is the LOver's LObe.
The Utricle and Saccule (US) are tiny organs within the cochlea (inner ear) which tells us if we're tipping over or not. They keep US balanced.
CERuminus glands produce EaR wax.
Mr. Spock had no trouble recalling the three auditory ossicles -- Malleus, Incus, Stapes -- for when young ladies ask what are on the side of his head, he replies "Ears, MIS".

Adrenal

The adrenal gland sits atop the kidney and secretes 4 hormones -- 2 from the medulla and 2 from its cortex. The medulla produces epinephrine and norepinephrine (a stimulant and a relaxer). The CORTex makes CORTisol and aldosterone.
Interestingly, the adrenal cortex also produces a small amount of androgen which has an insignificant affect on males, but can cause increased sex drive and libido in women.
Layers of the adrenal spell GFR -- Glomerular, Fascicular, Reticular 

Adrenaline mechanism , hypothyroidism

in STEP 1 they ask about the layer which is not developed in these diseases :
DiGeorge = Paracortex (no T cells)
Brutton`s Disease = Follicles (no B cells)
SCID = Follicles, Paracortex and Cords (no B cells, no T cells, and of course no PLasma cells)

Adrenaline mechanism

"ABC of Adrenaline":
Adrenaline--> activates Beta receptors--> increases Cyclic AMP

Alkalosis ,skeletal muscle fibres , Hist:::Layers of lymp nodes

Alkalosis

"Al-K-loss, Al-Ca-loss": There is 'loss' of K+ (hypokalemia) and Ca++ (hypocalcemia) in state of alkalosis.

skeletal muscle fibres

• Type 1: "1 slow fat red ox": -slow twitch -lipid accumulation -red fibers –oxidative
• Type 2: "2 fast skinny white breasts": -fast twitch -low lipid -white fibers, like chicken breasts

Hist:::Layers of lymp nodes

In order to memorize the layers of the lymph nodes and their cellular content , here is this mnemonic :
Bush Found The Pomp (not Bomb) , PLease Call Military Soldiers
The explaining :
Bush Found = B cells in Follicle
The Pomp = T cells in Paracortex
PLease Call = Plasma cells in Cords of Medulla
Military Soldiers = Macrophages in Sinuses of Medulla

one more thing , this sequence is from OUTSIDE to INSIDE, i.e. the most outside layer is Follicle, and the most inside is Sinuses of Medulla.
