Methods and Classifications of contraceptives
Anatomy of male reproductive structures
Combined Horomone Contraceptives-
contain estrog and progestins to prevent prego;disrupt norm hormonal patterns of fem cyc; and prevent folli mature and ovulation; works for 3 months
Injectable Contraception-
Inject of progestro derivativce precents folli maturation and ovulation works for 3 months
Chem barriers-
Contains spermicides; more efec with condom; cream, foam,jellies
Contraceptice Implants-
Rod containing progestin under skin in arm, can prevent folli mature and ovulation for 3 years
Mech Barriers-
Most effec: condoms, diaphragm, cervical cap
Intrauterine Devices-
Objects implanted in uterus R either toxic to sperm and egg cells or prevent implantation of embryo by inhin growth of endometriun, thicken cervical mucus
Rhythm Method-
Don't have sex around ovulation time: diff to determine, not effec
Sterilization-
Vasectomy (removal or deferns, preventing sperm from semen) or tubal ligation (cutting uterine tubes, preventing sperm from egg)
Coitus Interruptus-
Pull out b4 ejac: not effec:sperm may reach vag
Disorders associated with the reproductive systems
Herpes-
Herpes simplex 2 virus
Sores, fever
Antiviral drug (acyclovir)
Warts-
Human papilloma virus
Warts
Chem/surgical removal
Chlamydia infection-
Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria
Pain pee and sex, mucus discharge
Antiobiotics
Gonorrhea-
Neisseria G bacteria
Almost none in fem;men have pain pee
Antibio
Aids-
Cause: HIV
Symptom: Fever, weakness, infec, cancer
Treatment: Drugs to delay symp or treat them
Syphilis-
Trepenoma
Rash, years w/ no symp as infec spreads may lead to death
Antibio
- Preuce: Foreskin
- Penis: Used to make babies
- Urethra: Where pee and semen come go through
- Prostate: Produces fluid that with aid of sperm cells frem testis and other glands make up semen
- Ejaculation duct: Delivers sperm to urethra
- Seminal gland: Prod seminal fluid to push semen out during ejac
- Vas deferens: Trans mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation
- Epididymis: Produces the sperm
- Testis: Prod spermatoza, male gametes
- Bulbourethral gland and duct: priduces pre-cum that cleanses and libes urethra before semen comes through
- Corpora cavernosa: spongy tissue of penis which contains blood vessels that cause erections
Anatomy of female reproductive structures
Fundus of uterus- Help bal and approp hormones during pregnancy, also prot the fetus
Infidibulum- Catches n channel the released egg
Labium majus- Covers the minus, clit, urethra, and vag opening
Fimbriae- Catches the egg that one of your ovaries releases during ovulation
Labium minus- Prot vag from urethral openings, dryness, and infec
Body of uterus- Has 3 layers, shown below (in to out)
Vagina- Where baby comes from
Endometrium
External OS- Trans sperm into uterine cavity
Myometrium
Uterus- Egg devs into baby here and responsible for menstrual cycle
Perimetrium
Ovary- Secrete estrogen and progestrogen
Cervix- Allows fluids to flow in n out of uterus
Uterine tube- Trans the fertilized egg to uterus for implantation
Hormones of reproducitve system (male and female)
Male
- Testosterone stims sperm prod in males
Female
- Estrogen causes eggs to mature in ovaries once a girl hits puberty
Events of the female hormonal cycles
Menstruation-
- Anterior pit galnd secre folli-stim hormone (FSH) and luteinizing horomone (LH)
- FSH stim maturation of dom folli
- Folli cells prod and secre estrogens
-tain 2nd sex char
-endometrium thickens - Anterior pit releases surge of LH, = ovulation
- Folli cells bcome corpus lutem cells, whic secre estro and progestro
-estro cont. to stime uterine wall dev
-progestro stims endonaut to bcome more glandular and vascular
-Estrog and progestro inhib secre of FSH and LH from anterior pit gland - If secondary oocute is not fertilized, corpus luteum degen and no longer secre estro and progestro
- As oncen of estro and progestro decline, BV in endometrium constrict
- Uterine lining disintegrates and slougs off, prod a mens flow
- Anterior pit gland no longer inhibited and again secre FSH and LH
- Repeats
Follicular phase-
- Starts on the first day of your period and lasts for 13 to 14 days, ending in ovulation
Ovulation-
- Phase of the female menstrual cycle that involves the release of an egg (ovum) from one of the ovaries
Luteal phase-
- Happens during second day of men cycle
- Prepares uterus for pregnancy
- Thickens uterine lining
Major functions of the reproductive system
Male-
- Major func is to deliver sperm to the female
Female-
- Once receiving sperm, it gets fertilized
- Fertilization occurs in the uterine lining
- Fetus grows in the uterus which then gets pushed out the vagina
