married couple in their 40s seek contraceptive methods and worried about long term effects
MALE REPRODUCTIVE STRUCTURES
testes
produce gametes and secrete hormones (testosterone)
scrotum
protects testes and maintains climate control
penis
sexual intercourse and urinary function
passage for urine and semen
prostate gland
propel seminal fluids into urethra during ejaculation
seminal vesicle
store and produce the majority of the fluid that makes up semen
bulbourethral gland
alkaline secretion during sexual activity which will protect the sperm cells from the acid environment of the penile urethra and the female reproductive tract.
epididymis
It transports and stores sperm cells that are produced in the testes
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE STRUCTURES
vagina
sexual intercourse, birth canal, menstruation
cervix
allows flow of menstrual blood/ maintain fetus within uterus
uterus
holds, develops, protects fetus until birth
ovaries
produce eggs and secrete hormones (estrogen and progesterone)
fallopian tubes
transports sperm towards the egg/ allows fertilized egg to go to uterus for implantation
mammary glands
produce and secretes milk
OVARIAN CYCLE
follicular phase
day 1-13
estrogen rises as the egg is about to be released
hormone regulation: FSH
ovulation phase
day 14
release of egg from ovary
hormone regulation: LH
luteal phase
day 14-28
lining of uterus gets thicker/ ruptured follicles closes
hormone regulation: progesterone and estrogen
no fertilization results in shedding of the uterine lining (menstruation)
UTERINE CYCLE
menstrual phase
days 1-14
no pregnancy= period starts/ uterine lining sheds
hormone regulation: progesterone drops
proliferative phase
days 5-13
lining of uterus grows/ thickens
hormone regulation: estrogen/ FSH
secretory phase
days 14-28
Progesterone also stimulates the glands in the uterus to secrete substances that maintain the endometrium and keep it from breaking down
CONTRACEPTIVE METHODS
birth control
stops sperm from fertilizing with egg/ hormones in pill stop ovulation/ thickens mucus of cervix
side effects: spotting between periods, mood changing, breast swelling
plan b

side effects: cramps, breast pain, nausea, change in menstrual period
abstinence
