Matthew Duong Sex/Reproduction
Female Anatomy
Cervix- opening to the Uterus
Cervical Cap- covers the surface of the Uterus
Cervical Cancer- leading cause is Genital Warts
Clitoris- a small, round sensitive area of skin between the labia; pleasure center for women during sex
Urethra- the tube in which urine is discharged; not the place where sex or birth occurs
Fallopian Tubes- carries the egg from the ovaries to the uterus; the place of fertilization
Hymen- a membrane that partially closes the opening of the vagina
Uterus- a large muscle that houses the fetus
Labia- flaps of skin that surround the clitoris and the vagina
Vagina- the female sex organ and the birth canal that allows babies to pass from the uterus to the outside world
Puberty- in girls, it is the time when pubic hair, enlarged breasts, and widened hips grow
Menstruation- the secretion of the uteran lining that happens to females once a month (bloody)
Ovulation- the process of the egg moving from the Fallopian Tube to the Uterus
Ovum- a mature female reproductive cell, that can divide to create an embryo after fertilization
Cramps- pains in the abdominal region of a female while she is on her menstrual period
PMS- physical and emotional symptoms that come with menstruation such as acne, tender breasts, bloating, feeling tired, and irritability/mood changes
Estrogen- regulates the menstrual cycle: controls the growth of the uteran lining durin menstruation
Egg cells- the cells stored in the ovaries that are released one by one every month which can be fertilized to create an embytro
Female Reproductive Problems
Vaginitis- inflammation of the vagina; caused by infection
Blocked Fallopian Tubes- makes fertilization impossible because it blocks sperm from entering and fertilizing eggs
Toxic Shock Syndrome- a bacterial infection caused by leaving a tampon in for too long
Endometriosis- when the uterine lining grows into the fallopian tubes and ovaries
Ovarian Cysts- nausea, vomiting, bloating, painful bowel movements, and pain during sex caused by a fluid-filled sac grows on an ovary
Birth Control
Tubal Ligation- an operation that blocks the fallopian tubes so that the sperm can't enter and fertilize the eggs
Withdrawal- when the male pulls out of the vagina before ejaculating [75%]
Vasectomy- the cutting of the Vas Deferens; a permanent way of birth control that makes semen have no sperm
Abstinence- having no sex [100%]
Rhythm Method- when a couple only has sex on days that the female is sure that she doesn't have eggs in the fallopian tubes
IUD- inserted into the vagina; drenched in hormones that blocks sperm; 5 years of protection [97%]
Norplant Implant- patch on one's arm that blocks sperm from entering the Fallopian Tubes; can replace it only every 3 years [99%]
Condom- coated with spermicide (kills sperm); protects from STDs as long as there isn't leakage [98%]
Male Anatomy
Vas Deferens- the tube for the passageway of sperm
Scrotum- the external sac that houses the testicles
Urethra- the tube in the penis in males that discharges urine
Semen
Prostate- gland that creates a chemical for semen; place that is the most common site of cancer in men
Sperm- the male reproductive cell that fertilizes eggs to create embryos
Seminal Vesicle- glands that nourish the sperm with a sugary fluid that gives it energy to survive in the uterus
Cowper's Glands- they neutralize urine for the safe passageway of sperm
Testes- oval shaped glands that produce sperm
Penis- the male sex organ
Erection- when the spongy tissue around the penis becomes stiff
Epididymis- the organ that lays above the testes that stores sperm before ejaculation
Male Reproductive Problems
Prostate Problems- enlarged prostate, infection, tumors, usually ages 50+
Sterility- the inability to reproduce due to too few sperm or poor quality sperm
Testicular Cancer- occurs in males years 14-40; painless lump or swelling, undescended testicle; abnormal testicular development
STD's
Syphilis- first a small painless bump called a chancre, then a rash on the hands, feet, and vagina, then affects the eyes, heart, and spinal cord, that could lead to death
Genital Herpes- painful blisters or sores on the genitals
Genital Warts- pink or reddish warts with cauliflower-like tops that appear on the genitals, vagina, or cervix
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease-
Gonorrhea- yellow or green discharge from the penis; women mostly do not have symptoms
HIV- kills the immune system of the body by infecting and then multiplying; almost incurable b/c of its ability to mutate; leads to AIDS
