Amangqamuzana Okuzalana Kwabesilisa Abizwa Ngani?

Abesilisa nabesifazane banamaseli akhethekile okuzala enza imisebenzi yokuzala empilweni yabo. Kowesilisa, amaseli okuzala abizwa ngokuthi amaseli esidoda. Uma uzibuza, "amaseli okuzala esilisa abizwa ngani?"—aziwa njengamaseli esidoda.

Indima yokuzala yesidoda wukuthwala ulwazi lwezakhi zofuzo lusuke kuyise luye ezinganeni. Amasidoda akhiqizwa ngaphakathi emasendeni, lapho akhishwa khona ngesikhathi sokuchama kwesidoda.

Lapho esengenile emzimbeni wowesifazane, umsebenzi wawo uwukuhamba ohlelweni lokuzala lowesifazane ukuze avundise iqanda. Kanjalo isidoda sinikela enqubweni yokukhulelwa [ inqubo yokukhulelwa [1].

Kulesi sihloko, sizoxoxa ngezici ezihlukene zamaseli okuzala esilisa futhi siwaqhathanise namaseli okuzala esifazane.

Yini Isidoda?

Amaseli okuzala esilisa, noma amaseli esidoda, ayinhlobo ye-gamete. Ama-gamete yizicubu ezihlangana nesinye iseli ngesikhathi sokuvundiswa [2].

Amaseli esidoda akhiqizwa emasendeni, okuyizitho zokuzala kowesilisa. Amasende akhiqiza la maseli futhi awagcine kuze kube sekuchameni kwesidoda.

Amaseli esidoda ahlukile ngokuthi ukwakheka, futhi ukwakheka kwawo kudlala indima ebalulekile emsebenzini wawo [3]. Isakhiwo samaseli ocansi esilisa sihlanganisa ikhanda, ingxenye emaphakathi nomsila.

Ikhanda leseli lesidoda liqukethe inucleus, equkethe i-DNA yomlingani wesilisa. Ingxenye emaphakathi igcwele ama-mitochondria, anikeza amandla okunyakaza kwesidoda. Umsila uphusha isidoda liye eqandeni. Lesi sakhiwo yisona esibangela ukunyakaza kwesidoda, okubalulekile ekuzaleni.

Umsebenzi Wamaseli Esidoda

Amaseli esidoda akhishwa ngesikhathi sokwabelana. Umsebenzi oyinhloko wamaseli esidoda wukuthwala ulwazi lwezakhi zofuzo lusuke kumlingani wesilisa luye eqandeni lowesifazane. Emzimbeni wowesifazane, anesibopho sokuvundisa iseli leqanda lowesifazane eziteshini zikaFallopian. Uma uzibuza mayelana ngosayizi weqanda lendoda, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi amadoda akhiqiza amaseli esidoda, kanti uhlelo lokuzala lowesifazane lunoqanda, olukhulu kakhulu kuneseli lesidoda.

Ukuchama kwesidoda okukodwa kungaqukatha izigidi zamaseli esidoda. Iseli ngasinye sithwala ingxenye yolwazi lwezakhi zofuzo oludingekayo ukuze kwakheke umuntu omusha. Enye ingxenye yolwazi lwezakhi zofuzo lokuphila okusha ivela eqandeni lowesifazane.

Izinto Ezithinta Amaseli Okuzala Esilisa

Nawa amanye amaphuzu amakhulu angathinta amaseli okuzala esilisa kabi noma kahle:

• Ukudla: Ukudla okucebile amavithamini namaminerali kubalulekile ekukhiqizeni amaseli okuzala esilisa anempilo noma amaseli esidoda [4]. Izifundo zikhombisa ukuthi ukudla okunamavithamini njenge-zinc, i-vitamin C, nama-antioxidant kungathuthukisa izinga lesidoda futhi kwandise ukukwazi kokuzala kwabesilisa.
• Imikhuba Yokuphila: U ucwaningo lwakamuva kubonisa ukuthi imikhuba emibi yokuphila njengokubhema, ukuphuza utshwala ngokweqile, nokusebenzisa izidakamizwa inganciphisa inani lesidoda futhi ilimaze amaseli esidoda [5]. Ungasekela ukukhiqizwa kwesidoda nokunyakaza kwaso ngokwamukela indlela yokuphila enempilo.
• Ingcindezi Nokulala: U ucwaningo lwango-2022 kubonisa ukuthi ingcindezi engapheli ingathinta ukulingana kwamahomoni, ikakhulukazi amazinga e-testosterone kumaseli okuzala esilisa [6]. Ukuphazamiseka kwamazinga e-testosterone kuholela ekuncipheni kokukhiqizwa kwesidoda.

Imikhuba embi yokulala ingaphazamisa ukusebenza komzimba wonke futhi ithinte kabi amaseli okuzala esilisa. Ochwepheshe batusa amahora angu-7 kuya kwayi-9 okulala okuhle ngosuku ukuze kutholakale izinzuzo zokuzala nempilo engcono jikelele [7].

• Ukuzivocavoca: Ukuzivocavoca njalo kuthuthukisa ukujikeleza kwegazi namazinga e-testosterone, okwandisa impilo yokuzala yonke. Nokho, ukuzivocavoca ngokweqile noma okuqine kakhulu kungalimaza amaseli okuzala esilisa ngokubangela ukulimala kwamathuluzi okuzala nokungalingani kwamahomoni.

Ingabe Isidoda Isidalwa Esiphilayo?

Ngoba amaseli esidoda ayanyakaza futhi asebenzisa amandla, abanye abantu acabanga ukuthi ayizidalwa eziphilayo. Isidoda yiseli elilodwa kuphela elikhethekile ngomsebenzi owodwa kuphela hhayi umzimba ophelele ophilayo.

Amaseli esidoda awakwazi ukusinda wodwa ngaphandle komzimba, kodwa izidalwa eziphilayo ziyakwazi. Isidoda sidinga indawo elungele ukusiseka, njengaphakathi komzimba, ukuze sisinde sisebenze kahle. Amaseli esidoda ayafa kungakapheli imizuzu embalwa endaweni eyomile ngaphandle komzimba. Uma uzibuza ukuthi isidoda esomile sibukeka kanjani, ngokuvamile sibonakala simhlophe noma sicace futhi silahlekelwa ukunyakaza kwaso njengoba some.

Ukuqhathanisa Amaseli Okuzala Esilisa Nawesifazane

Amaseli okuzala wesilisa nowesifazane, aziwa ngokuthi ama-gamete, anemisebenzi ekhethekile. I-gamete yomuntu wesilisa, okungesidoda, incane kakhulu kune-gamete yomuntu wesifazane, okungeliqanda.

Amaseli esidoda ayanyakaza futhi enzelwe ukuhamba ayevundisa iqanda. Ngokuphambene nalokho, iqanda likhulu, futhi lihlala ngaphakathi kohlelo lokuzala lwesifazane. Nokho, kwezinye izimo, kungase kube khona isidoda esinganyakazi, esingenamandla okuhamba ngakho asikwazi ukufinyelela iqanda ukuze sihlangane nalo. Isidoda sihlangana neqanda ngemva kocansi bese sakha iseli elisha elibizwa nge-zygote.

Noma zihluke, zombili zibalulekile ekuzaleni. Yilowo nalowo othwala ingxenye eyodwa kwezimbili yolwazi lwezakhi zofuzo oludingekayo ukuze kwakheke umuntu omusha.

Isiphetho: Ukubaluleka Kwamaseli Okuzala Abesilisa

I-spermatozoa noma isidoda yizicubu zokuzala zesilisa ezithwala ulwazi lwezakhi zofuzo ezivela kowesilisa zisiwe eqandeni likamama. Pho, yimaphi amagama asetshenziswa kumaseli okuzala abesilisa? Abizwa ngokuthi amaseli esidoda, anesakhiwo esiyingqayizivele esisiza umsebenzi wawo, njengokunyakaza aya eqandeni nokungena eqandeni. 

Ulwazi mayelana namaseli okuzala abesilisa lungakunikeza ukuqonda okuyigugu ngemvelo yokuzala nezinkinga zokungazali.

Ukugxila ekuthuthukiseni impilo yesidoda kungandisa amathuba okukhulelwa futhi kukusize uhlela umndeni wakho ngokwezifiso zakho.

Imibuzo Evame Ukubuzwa

1. Amaseli esidoda aphila isikhathi esingakanani emzimbeni wowesifazane?

Amaseli esidoda angaphila ngaphakathi kohlelo lokuzala lowesifazane kusukela emahoreni ambalwa kuze kufike ezinsukwini ezi-5. Ukusinda kwesidoda emzimbeni wowesifazane kuncike esimeni sangaphakathi, njengamazinga e-pH kanye ne-mucus yesibeletho.

2. Khiqizwa mingaki imiseli yesidoda nsuku zonke?

Umuntu wesilisa onempilo ukhiqiza izigidi zamaseli esidoda nsuku zonke, ngokwesilinganiso esicishe sibe amasidoda angu-1,500 enziwa ngomzuzwana.

3. Kuthiwa yini isidoda sowesifazane?

Isidoda sikhiqizwa kuphela abantu besilisa, kanti abesifazane abanawo amasidoda. Amaqanda yizicubu zokuzala zabesifazane ezihlangana nesidoda ngesikhathi sokuvundiswa ukuze kwakheke impilo entsha.
