MATERNAL & CHILD HEALTH NURSING A union of two individuals that is mutually agreed to become one. The act must be open to life and towards procreation. To create and produce another life. Man and woman unite as one flesh. Needs to be open to possibility of having children. It is a set of organs and structures that work together to ensure the survival of the species by producing offspring. It has four specific functions: To produce To store and To nurture To produce gametes (egg and transport these offspring as it hormones sperm cells) reproductive cells develops It surrounds the opening to the The pleasure center of the vagina; made out of fatty tissue female reproductive organ that cushions and protects the vaginal opening Allow passage of urine from the Pink in color, internal surface outside of the body covered with mucous membrane and external surface with skin. An exit point during child birth. An entry point of penis during The external opening of the rectum, sexual intercourse and where A mucus – secreting gland which located inside the intergluteal cleft plays a role in vaginal lubrication the blood flow during and separated from the genitals by menstruation the perineum (FALLOPIAN TUBE) Produces eggs (ova) and female Passageway for eggs from the sex hormones like estrogen and ovaries to the uterus and progesterone provides the site for fertilisation by the sperm Where a fertilised egg implants Receives the penis during and grows into a fetus during sexual reproduction, allows the pregnancy menstrual blood to exit the body, and lets the baby passes through during childbirth Allows menstrual blood to flow from the uterus and serves as a pathway for sperm to enter the uterus It is a basin-shaped structure that supports the spinal column and protects the abdominal organs; lower part of the torso; located between the abdomen and the legs; bony part that will take part during pregnancy; abdominal organs are protected by this. Shallow upper basin of the pelvis. Supports the enlarging uterus but not important obstetrically Consists of the pelvic inlet, pelvic cavity, and pelvic outlet. Bony canal through which the infant pass. Measurements of true pelvis influence the conduct and progress of labor and delivery. Are encased in the scrotal sac, the testes are oval organs about the size of very large olives that lie in the scrotum, secured at either end by a structure called the spermatic Rugated, skin-covered, muscular cord. Responsible for making pouch suspended from the perineum. testosterone. Supports the testes to help regulate the temperature of the sperm. Used for both the elimination of urine from the body and the delivery of sperm for sexual reproduction Produces a fluid that mixes Carries sperm from the testes with sperm to form semen, to the urethra during nourishing and protecting ejaculation sperm long, coiled tube that rests on Passageway for both urine the backside of each testicle; it and semen when exiting the carries and stores sperm cells body that are created in the testes Are formed by the fusion of the vas Sac-like pouches that attach to the deferens and the seminal vesicles; vas deferens near the base of the the ejaculatory ducts empty into the bladder urethra Androgenic hormones are responsible for When triggered at puberty by FSH, ovarian muscular development, physical growth follicle begin to excrete a high level of the and increase in sebaceous gland secretion hormone estrogen which causes acne in adolescent. This increases the development of the The level of primary androgenic hormone, uterus, fallopian tube, and vagina; typical testosterone one, is low until puberty fat distribution; hair patterns and breast (12-14) development, closes epiphyses Produced by ADRENAL CORTEX & TESTES Estradiol is a predominant form of estrogen When rises: changes testes, scrotum, penis, plays a critical role in male function prostate, seminal vesicle It is essential for modulating libido, erectile Appearance of pubic, axillary and facial hair function, and spermatogenesis Voice change Maturation of spermatozoa Closure of growth plates of long bone Prepares the endometrium for a Produced by adrenal glands fertilized egg to implant and grow. which is helpful in sperm Produced by ADRENAL CORTEX & OVARIES During pregnancy, it provides development Enlargement of Labia Majora, Clitoris & formation nutrient to the developing embryo. of axillary and pubic hair It is a natural, recurring process in the female reproductive system, lasting about 28 days on average. It involves body preparations for potential pregnancy. 4 body structures are involved: Lining of the uterus is When the pituitary gland shed, resulting in the releases hormones that stimulate release of blood and 5 6 the growth and development of 4 7 tissue from the body 3 8 ovarian follicles through the vagina 2 9 1 10 28 11 27 12 26 13 25 14 24 15 23 16 22 17 21 18 19 Empty ovarian follicle becomes When a mature egg is the corpus luteum, producing released from the ovary hormones that prepare the uterus and is ready for potential for possible embryo implantation fertilisation Average age of onset is about 12.4 years average range 9-17 years old Average cycle is 28 days; cycles 23-35 days in length not unusual Duration of the average flow is 2-7 days Average amount of menstrual flow is 30 - 80 mL per menstrual period | saturating pad in less than an hour is heavy bleeding Color is dark red (blood, mucus, and cells) Odor resembles a marigold flower Dysmenorrhea - Painful menstruation Amenorrhea – Absence of menses Menorrhagia – Excessive blood flow Metrorrhagia – Bloody vaginal discharge between periods It is a phase in the menstrual cycle when the ovary releases an egg (ovum). Once an egg leaves the ovary, it travels down the fallopian tube where it waits to be fertilized by sperm. Occurs 12-14 days before the onset of the next menses. Uterine lining continues to thicken ready to receive the fertilized egg. Slight drop of temperature about 0.5 degree Celsius Cervical mucus is abundant, wet, slippery, stretchy and clear – this mucus helps sperms live and swim to reach the egg; it nourishes the sperms. Vaginal sensation is wet Cervical OS dilates slightly and soft Estrogen drops a bit, but remains high Progesterone begins to rise Spinnbarkeit test also known as fibrosity (it can be stretched into long strands) and fern test (cervical mucus forms fernlike patterns) Natural conception may occur if: Correct timing between release of mature ovum at ovulation. Ejaculation of enough healthy, mature, motile sperm into the vagina. Female Before ovulation, several oocytes begin to mature under the influence of FSH and LH. During the process of maturation, an ovum is encapsulated with a fluid – filled cavity called Graafian Follicle. Male Ejaculation Movement of the sperm in the female reproductive tract Preparation of the sperm from actual fertilization Sperm does not immediately ready to fertilize the ovum when they are ejaculated During the trip to the ovum, the sperm undergo changes that enable one to penetrate the protective layers surrounding the ovum, a process called CAPACITATION. Is the union of an ovum and a spermatozoon Usually occurs in the outer third of a fallopian tube, the ampullar portion Usually only one ovum reaches maturity each month Once it is released, fertilization must occur fairly quickly because an ovum is capable of fertilization for only 24 hours (48 hours at the most) The total critical time span during which sexual relations must occur for fertilization to be successful is about 72 hours. Live, motile, and normal sperm Semen is supportive to pregnancy Fallopian tube patent Female hormones are present Fertilization takes place in the ampulla Zygote formation 12-14 days after fertilization The zygote (fertilized ovum) takes 3-4 days to enter the uterus It takes 7-10 days to complete the process of nidation or implantation Developmental Stage The totality of each individual’s personhood This encompasses the individual’s total personality, way of thinking, behaving, loving, and relating with God and other individuals 1.Help us sort 3.
