Invite from an Oocyte

An R&B ballad exploring three mechanisms in the female reproductive tract that assist in sperm capacitation and increase the likelihood of the completed maturation of the secondary oocyte (through fertilization) – release of follicular fluid, a temperature gradient between structures, and the secretion of chemo-attractants.

Lyrics:

This has been years in the making, baby

At least for me

We know its never a guarantee

But tonight its just you and me

If we got together

What could we be?

Well come over to my place and

Lets see

Okay so you came

All this way

Wouldn’t be a shame

If we didn’t meet up

Didn’t link up

Baby keep up

Can you find me?

This is your invite

Courtesy of an oocyte

This is your invite

Courtesy of an oocyte

We gotta make sure you’re ready

Hold steady

Gotta get capacitated

Before anything else can be initiated

Don’t worry

Imma send you some follicular fluid

Help you to facilitate

Get your head on straight

Open ion gates

Meanwhile you gotta find me

Gotta long way to go

Past the cervix to the uterus

But I ain’t there, no

I’m in the ampulla

Didn’t mean to fool ya

It’s just your luck

We’re gonna meet in the oviduct

This is your invite

Courtesy of an oocyte

This is your invite

Courtesy of an oocyte

Feel the heat, feel the heat

Let your flagella beat, beat

I put up the thermostat

Hopin’ you can follow that

So you don’t have to double tap

I’ve been releasing some progesterone

Wanna set the tone

Let you know you’re not alone

Hope you can smell it bae

Hope you can find your way

You’re getting closer

Wanna close the deal today

This is your invite

Courtesy of an oocyte

This is your invite

Courtesy of an oocyte

It’s nice to see ya

Glad you made it here

So I won’t have to disappear

I could shed a tear

Wanted to see you boo

Hope you can break through

My corona radiata, so that we can fuse

This has been years in the making, baby

At least for me

Know its never a guarantee

But tonight you found me

Tonight you found me.

A Quick Video About Lactose Intolerance

https://studio.youtube.com/video/MfbcUr05bbE/ This is the link to my STEAM Project video, really briefly explaining the effects of lactose intolerance! (My essay is much more detailed on why these side effects actually happen, etc.) It’s so amazing to me how our bodies are made to heal themselves, even though diseases do come. …

The Relationship Between COPD and Congestive Heart Failure

The cardiovascular system and respiratory system are very closely connected and rely on each other heavily. Understanding how they are connected is one of the objectives for this course. I chose to dig deeper into this relationship through my steam project by comparing COPD and CHF. The art portion of …

Androgenic Anabolic Steroids and Liver Damage

Manipulation of the endocrine system through the abuse of Anabolic Steroids creates greater health risks than just an interruption of the hypothalamus-pituitary- gonadal axis. Prolonged abuse places the user at risk of sever liver distress. Some of this distress is the result of interruptions in metabolic functions of the liver …

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs (with cake!)

I have chosen to make an edible representation of the act of respiration with a cake. The orange skittles are alveoli, with blue sprinkles flowing in one direction to show the intake of oxygen headed towards the alveoli, and the green sprinkles represent carbon dioxide headed out of the alveoli …
