Study Notes
Intrauterine Development
- Thelarche marks the onset of breast development in females, occurring 1-2 years prior to menstruation.
- Gonads are reproductive organs: ovaries in females and testes in males, initiated around week 5 of intrauterine life.
- By weeks 7-8, male gonadal tissue produces testosterone, leading to the development of male reproductive organs.
- Absence of testosterone by week 10 allows paramesonephric ducts (Müllerian ducts) to dominate, leading to female reproductive development.
- Testosterone levels are low in males until puberty (ages 12-14), when significant changes occur in sexual organs, body hair, and voice.
Male Reproductive System
- External structures include:
- Scrotum
- Testes
- Penis
- Internal structures include:
- Epididymis
- Vas deferens
- Seminal vesicles
- Prostate gland
- Bulbourethral glands
- Urethra
- Spermatogenesis begins at puberty and lasts about 75 days, producing sperm continuously post-puberty.
Female Reproductive System
- Begins with menarche and continues to menopause, typically spanning 35-40 years.
- Changes during puberty include:
- Growth spurt
- Pelvic widening
- Breast development
- Onset of menstruation
- Growth of pubic and axillary hair
- Internal breast structures comprise acinar cells for milk production, with lactiferous ducts transporting milk.
Human Sexuality
- Defined as a multidimensional phenomenon involving feelings, attitudes, and actions.
- Includes biological and cultural diversity, shaping a person's emotional, social, and intellectual responses.
Biologic and Gender Identity
- Biologic gender refers to chromosomal sex, male (XY) or female (XX).
- Gender identity is an individual's internal sense of being male or female, which may differ from their biologic gender.
- Gender roles indicate behaviors traditionally associated with being male or female.
Family Planning Methods
- Techniques include:
- Natural Methods: rely on identifying fertility cycles.
- Hormonal Methods: introduce hormones to prevent ovulation.
- Barrier Methods: physical barriers prevent sperm from reaching the ovum.
- Intrauterine Devices: prevent fertilization or implantation.
- Permanent Methods: surgical interventions for long-term contraception.
Specific Natural Methods
- Coitus Interruptus (Withdrawal): involves withdrawal before ejaculation to minimize pregnancy risk.
- Basal Body Temperature (BBT): tracks temperature changes to identify ovulation; a rise indicates impending ovulation.
- Cervical Mucus Method (Billings Method): involves observing cervical mucus changes to predict fertile days.
Barrier Methods
- Vaginally-inserted spermicides eliminate sperm before they enter the cervix.
- Advantages include minimal side effects compared to hormonal methods but are contraindicated in certain conditions like acute cervicitis.
