    • Internal Genitals
      • Vagina is a muscular canal that connects the vulva to the cervix
      • Cervix is the lower, narrow part of the uterus that opens into the vagina
      • Uterus is a hollow, muscular organ where fetal development takes place
      • Fallopian tubes are narrow tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus
      • Ovaries are organs that produce eggs (oocytes) for fertilization
    • Breast Anatomy
      • Mammary glands are milk-producing glands located within the breasts
      • Nipples are raised areas on the breast surface used for milk expression
      • Areola is the pigmented area surrounding the nipple

    Male Reproductive System

    • External Genitals
      • Penis is the external organ used for urination and sexual intercourse
      • Scrotum is a pouch of skin and muscle that contains the testes
      • Epididymis is a tube located behind the testes where sperm mature
    • Internal Genitals
      • Testes are organs that produce sperm (spermatozoa) for fertilization
      • Vas deferens are muscular tubes that connect the epididymis to the prostate gland
      • Prostate gland is a gland that produces fluids for sperm transportation
      • Urethra is a tube that connects the prostate gland to the penis for urination and ejaculation

    Reproductive Anatomy

    Female Reproductive System

    • External Genitalia:
      • Mons pubis is a fatty tissue covered in pubic hair, providing cushioning and protection.
      • Labia are folds of skin that protect the vagina and provide sensation.
      • Clitoris is a small, highly sensitive organ for sexual pleasure.
      • Perineum is the area between the vagina and anus, rich in nerve endings.
    • Internal Genitalia:
      • Vagina is a muscular canal that connects the cervix to the outside, allowing for childbirth and menstruation.
      • Cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina, allowing for sperm to pass through.
      • Uterus is a muscular organ where the fetus develops during pregnancy, supported by the cervix.
      • Fallopian Tubes are narrow tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus, allowing for fertilization.
      • Ovaries produce eggs (oocytes) and hormones, regulating the menstrual cycle.
    • Breast Anatomy:
      • Mammary glands produce milk for lactation, nourishing the newborn.
      • Areola is a pigmented area around the nipple, providing sensation and aiding in milk release.
      • Nipple is a protrusion for milk release during lactation, stimulated by suckling.

    Male Reproductive System

    • External Genitalia:
      • Penis is an external organ for urination and sexual intercourse, sensitive to stimulation.
      • Scrotum is a sac of skin and muscle that holds the testes, regulating temperature for optimal sperm production.
      • Epididymis is a tube that stores sperm, allowing for maturation and transport.
    • Internal Genitalia:
      • Testes produce sperm and hormones, regulating the male reproductive cycle.
      • Epididymis stores sperm, allowing for maturation and transport.
      • Vas Deferens is a muscular tube that carries sperm from the epididymis to the prostate gland.
      • Prostate Gland produces fluids for sperm transport, aiding in fertilization.
      • Urethra is a tube that carries urine and semen, allowing for urination and ejaculation.
    • Accessory Glands:
      • Seminal Vesicles produce fluids for sperm transport, aiding in fertilization.
      • Prostate Gland produces fluids for sperm transport, aiding in fertilization.
      • Cowper's Glands produce fluids for sperm transport, aiding in fertilization.

    Puberty and Development

    • Testicular growth and development occur during puberty, leading to increased testosterone levels and regulation of sperm production and fertility.
    • Voice deepening is a characteristic physical change in males during puberty.
    • Body hair growth, muscle mass increase, and height and weight increase are also physical changes that occur during puberty.
    • Emotional fluctuations and mood swings are common psychological and emotional changes during puberty.

    • Condoms (male and female) are a common method of contraception.
    • Hormonal methods (e.g., birth control pills) and intrauterine devices (IUDs) are also effective contraception methods.
    • Emergency contraception (e.g., Plan B) is available for unintended pregnancies.
    • Using condoms and dental dams can prevent STIs.
    • Getting regular STI testing is essential for preventing STIs.
    • Practicing safe sex and avoiding high-risk behaviors can prevent STIs.
    • Vaccination against HPV and Hepatitis B can prevent STIs.
    • Education and access to reproductive healthcare services are crucial for reducing unintended pregnancies and STIs.
    • Increasing access to reproductive healthcare services can reduce health disparities and inequalities.
