Ivf: In vitro means means in a lab dish (literally in glass) and in vivo means in the body. In medicine, in vitro almost always refers to ivf.

Question 2

what are the differences and similarities between kidney dialysis and in-vivo kidney functions?

Accepted Answer

Not the same: Dialysis removes about 80% of the impurities that build up, but not all of them as would a normal kidney.  The kidney is more of a selective filter.  The normal kidney also produces hormones--small molecules, that aid in things such red blood cell formation, and calcium metabolism.

Question 3

could someone tell me some differences for in vivo and in vitro fertilization?

Accepted Answer

Vitro is in the lab: In vitro fertilization, ivf, means in latin 'in glass', that is, in the laboratory. In vivo is in the body.

In ivf, eggs are removed from the ovary with a needle and inseminated in the laboratory. Ivf is a good treatment for blocked fallopian tubes, and works great for simply enhancing fertility. In addition, new technologies for embryo assessment are great for choosing healthy embryos.

Cushing's Reflex: There is a clinical entity called cushing's reflex where this physiology comes into play. This happens when there is a bleed in the brain. This leads to increased arterial resistance in the brain, and through a series of complex feedback loops in the adrenergic system, leads to reflexive bradycardia.

Question 9

do violent video games cause violence?

Accepted Answer

Controversial: That's a tough question to answer. Certainly playing violent games seems to be associated with violence, though that doesn't mean the games actually caused the violence in the real world. I would say that in my judgement, children who are already vulnerable may be more easily influenced, and that kids who play these kids of games constantly are more likely to be affected.
