1. For the last 2000 or so years, the human body as a whole hasn't changed. We have not evolved as a species in a very long time at this point, so the reproductive systems for both males and females have been the same. Even our closest primate relatives (chimps) have remained basically the same anatomical structure and reproductive system for millions of years. I do not believe there has been a change in the male or female reproductive system for some time.

2. The reproductive systems are like dominoes because one thing leads to another. Like dominoes, once one falls all the others fall with it. The reproductive systems are like a team, and all the parts have the same overall goal, which is to reproduce. For the female system, once the sperm enters, it goes through the reproductive system step by step until it reaches an egg and fertilizes it. This can relate to dominoes because one couldn't happen without the one before it.

 * Slide 1**-Vasectomy


 * Slide 2**-Vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure wherein the vasa deferentia of a man are severed, and then tied or sealed in a manner such to prevent sperm from entering the seminal stream. This makes a male sterile, and not capable of reproduction. It's one of the most popular forms of contraception in the United States. Vasectomys are safe, simple, and highly effective. The man can have sexual intercourse but the semen doesn't contain sperm.


 * Slide 3**-Sterilization.(surgical)


 * Slide 4-** A vasectomy is done in your doctor's office or in an outpatient surgery center. The operation takes about half an hour. You are awake during the procedure. Your doctor will give you a local anesthetic to numb your scrotum. After the scrotum is numb, the doctor makes an incision on one side of the sctotum and pull out part of the vas deferens. The ends of the vas deferens are sealed by stiching. The doctor will repeat this process on the other side. After 3 to 10 days, the stiches will disappear by themselves.

A Vasectomy cost will range from $500 to $1,000. To get the operation, you should talk to your physician, and then go to a doctor who is able to make the incision.
