List Of Sex Hygiene Films
The sex hygiene film was a genre of film dealing with stories involving sexual health, particularly sexually transmitted disease (hence the slang label " clap opera"), but also sometimes touching on topics such as prostitution, birth control, and illegitimacy. The genre had its origins in the United States around the time of World War I. Early sex hygiene films were created by mainstream studios and, though their treatment of a taboo topic was controversial, they were perceived as having positive educational value. By the 1920s, sex hygiene films had begun to include graphic depictions of human anatomy, and the genre evolved into an early example of exploitation films. A 1928 article noted that there were 15 to 20 films in circulation, but that some were composed of splices from other films, whose purpose was to allow sex hygiene and medical education books to be sold in the lobby. Sex hygiene films were publicly exhibited at theatres and often drew large audiences, though attend ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Spirochete
A spirochaete () or spirochete is a member of the phylum Spirochaetota (), (synonym Spirochaetes) which contains distinctive diderm (double-membrane) gram-negative bacteria, most of which have long, helically coiled (corkscrew-shaped or spiraled, hence the name) cells. Spirochaetes are chemoheterotrophic in nature, with lengths between 3 and 500 μm and diameters around 0.09 to at least 3 μm. Spirochaetes are distinguished from other bacterial phyla by the location of their flagella, called endoflagella which are sometimes called ''axial filaments''. Endoflagella are anchored at each end (pole) of the bacterium within the periplasmic space (between the inner and outer membranes) where they project backwards to extend the length of the cell. These cause a twisting motion which allows the spirochaete to move about. When reproducing, a spirochaete will undergo asexual transverse binary fission. Most spirochaetes are free-living and anaerobic, but there are nume ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
