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.
