In current state of the art, early embryos having undergone cryopreservation implant at the same rate as equivalent fresh counterparts. [2] The outcome from using cryopreserved embryos has uniformly been positive with no increase in birth defects or development abnormalities, [3] [8] also between fresh versus frozen eggs used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

The Visible Human Project is an effort to create a detailed data set of cross-sectional photographs of the human body, in order to facilitate anatomy visualization applications. It is used as a tool for the progression of medical findings, in which these findings link anatomy to its audiences. [ 1 ]
Researchers have found evidence of frostbite in humans dating back 5,000 years, in an Andean mummy. Napoleon's Army was the first documented instance of mass cold injury in the early 1800s. [ 7 ] According to Zafren, nearly 1 million combatants fell victim to frostbite in the First and Second World Wars, and the Korean War.
Human fertilization is the union of an egg and sperm, occurring primarily in the ampulla of the fallopian tube.
