text comparison :: essays research papers

I chose to compare the Martini chapter, which I will refer to as Martini, to Human image by Kent Van De Graaff, which I will refer to as Graaff. The chapter creation compared in both texts is the fruitful carcass. Graaff decided to separate the male and young-bearing(prenominal) procreative systems into two chapters, which didnt help or hurt the content. twain texts provided very redeeming(prenominal) information, and both had their good and not so good aspects.The opening pages of both texts look very similar and provide a lot of the same material. Both provided a very clear and distinct diagram of the male reproductive system, however, Martini provided a stepwise diagram of the dainty of the testes, which Graaff did not. Both texts used very clear and accurate pictures of actual cells such as the testes and other various structures of the reproductive system.Both texts use a diagram to help visualize the processes of meiosis and mitosis however, I found the diagram used by Martini to me easier to understand. The diagram used by Graaff tried to observe the DNA structures inside a cell which made it more rugged to see each DNA strand, and hence see what happens to it at each stage of division. Martini similarly provided pictures of spermatozoon structures, which Graaff did not. I found no solid difference in the quality of information presented about the male reproductive system in either text. Each seemed to give a clear, and pithy explanation of each accessory structure. For example, in Martini, even the smaller structures kindred the ductus deferens and accessory glands were given attention, and even a whole page of diagram, and also a share devoted to hormones and their functions in the male reproductive system gave very accurate information about the role of FSH in spermatogenesis, and LH in androgen production. Graaff did a very nice put-on at explaining endocrine functions of the testes, and it also gave a nice table gravid the actio ns of androgens in the male. Toward the end of the male reproductive section, Graff had a clinical considerations section which gave a very short, but informative description of various versed dysfunctions in males, and schoolingal problems that can sometimes alter the male reproductive system. Also after this section there is a nice developmental exposition section, which covers formation of male reproductive organs from embryonic development through to the decent of the testes.
