Study Notes
Union and Procreation
- Marriage is defined as a mutually agreed union between a man and woman, open to procreation.
- Central purpose encompasses the creation and survival of the species through offspring.
Female Reproductive System Functions
- Produces gametes (egg and sperm).
- Stores and transports reproductive cells.
- Nurtures developing offspring.
- Produces hormones necessary for reproduction.
Female Reproductive Anatomy
- Vaginal opening is protected by fatty tissue, allowing for childbirth and sexual intercourse.
- Fallopian tube serves as a passage for eggs and is the site for sperm fertilization.
- Uterus is where fertilized egg implants and grows.
- The pelvic cavity supports the spinal column and protects abdominal organs.
Menstrual Cycle Overview
- Menstrual onset typically occurs around age 12.4, ranging from 9 to 17.
- Average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, with a variation of 23-35 days.
- Duration of menstrual flow ranges between 2-7 days, with a flow of 30-80 mL.
- Indicators of abnormal menstruation include dysmenorrhea (painful periods), amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), menorrhagia (heavy flow), and metrorrhagia (bleeding between periods).
Ovulation and Fertilization
- Ovulation occurs about 12-14 days before the next menstrual period, releasing an egg into the fallopian tube.
- Conditions for successful conception include the timing of ovulation, healthy sperm ejaculation, and female reproductive tract readiness.
- Capacitation prepares sperm to fertilize the ovum, which occurs in the fallopian tube.
Fertilization and Early Development
- Fertilization happens in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, forming a zygote within 12-14 days.
- Zygote travels to the uterus, undergoes nidation (implantation) in 7-10 days.
Sexual Development and Decision-Making
- Personhood encompasses individual personality, relationships, and sexual standards.
- Biological sex, sexual orientation, identity, values, and attitudes shape sexual experience.
- Healthy sexual relationships must respect consent and avoid unwanted consequences, like STDs and unintended pregnancies.
Family Planning and Reproductive Life
- Family planning allows couples to regulate the number and timing of children, emphasizing informed decisions.
- The Reproductive Health (RH) Bill promotes access to family planning methods, aiming to enhance maternal and child health.
- Benefits include reducing health risks, promoting education, and managing population growth.
Family Planning Methods
- Natural methods include rhythm, ovulation and cervical mucus monitoring, breastfeeding, celibacy, and withdrawal.
- Rhythm method categorizes fertile and infertile periods through various techniques, such as the calendar method and basal body temperature tracking.
- Lactational amenorrhea occurs when exclusive breastfeeding prevents ovulation postpartum.
