Study Notes
Course Objectives
- Understand the anatomy and physiology related to reproductive and sexual health.
- Identify areas for nursing research and evidence-based practice in reproductive health.
- Set outcomes for reproductive and sexual health education.
Affective Domain
- Listen attentively and respectfully during class discussions.
- Openly accept feedback and comments from peers.
Psychomotor Skills
- Integrate reproductive health knowledge into nursing practice for maternal and child health.
- Apply critical thinking to enhance reproductive and sexual health outcomes.
- Follow classroom rules and practice netiquette during discussions.
Intrauterine Development
- Sex determination occurs at conception based on chromosome contribution from ovum and sperm.
- Both male and female embryos start with undifferentiated ducts (mesonephric and paramesonephric).
Pubertal Development
- Puberty initiates secondary sexual characteristics from the hypothalamus releasing GnRH, stimulating FSH and LH.
- Androgens promote musculoskeletal growth and sebaceous gland activity, leading to acne.
Role of Androgen and Estrogen
- Androgens are produced in both genders, facilitating physical changes.
- Estrogen, released at puberty, includes three compounds (estrone, estradiol, estriol).
Secondary Sex Characteristics
- Girls: growth spurt, pelvic diameter increase, breast development, menarche, and pubic/axillary hair.
- Boys: weight gain, testicular growth, facial hair, voice deepening, penile growth, and sperm production.
Male Reproductive System Anatomy
- Scrotum: Supports testes and regulates sperm temperature.
- Testes: Produce sperm and hormones (encased in protective capsule).
- Epididymis: Coiled tube storing and maturing sperm over 12-20 days.
- Vas Deferens: Transports sperm from epididymis to ejaculation pathway.
- Seminal Vesicles: Secrete nutrient-rich fluid for sperm motility.
- Prostate Gland: Produces alkaline fluid to protect sperm from acidic urine.
- Bulbourethral Glands: Contributes alkaline fluid aiding sperm survival.
- Urethra: Conveys urine and semen from the body.
Female Reproductive System Anatomy
- Ovaries produce oocytes, estrogen, and progesterone, regulating menstrual cycles.
- Ovarian reserves decrease from 2 million at birth to none at menopause.
- Uterus: Hosts fertilized ovum, provides protection and nourishment for growing fetus.
- Layers of uterus: Stratum functionalis (shed during menstruation) and Stratum basalis (permanent layer).
Reproductive Development
- Involves sexual differentiation and the development of sex organs.
- Secondary sex characteristics signify the development of male or female traits during puberty.
Classroom Engagement
- Students encouraged to share experiences regarding changes during puberty for class discussions.
