Study Notes
- Estrogen is released by developing ovaries, leading to the development of secondary sex characteristics in females such as breast buds, growth spurt, broadening of hips, and the appearance of pubic and axillary hair.
- The first menstrual period (menarche) typically occurs around 2 to 2.5 years after breast development, usually around 12 to 14 years of age.
- Testosterone is responsible for hormonal changes in males between 10 and 16 years old, resulting in secondary sex characteristics like increased muscle mass, growth of long bones, deepening of voice, and enlargement of penis and testes.
- The female external genitalia, collectively known as the vulva, includes structures like the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vaginal vestibule, and perineum.
- The male reproductive system is characterized by external genitalia like the penis and scrotum, as well as internal structures such as the testes that produce sperm and male hormones.
- The female reproductive system consists of internal organs like the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, with the ovaries responsible for hormone production and maturation of ova during each reproductive cycle.
- Menstruation cycle involves regular changes in hormone secretions from the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary gland, ovary, and endometrial lining of the uterus, with four key hormones involved in the process.
- The bony pelvis supports and protects pelvic organs, forms the birth passageway, and includes structures like the pelvic floor muscles and different types of pelvis configurations.
