Anatomy and Physiology of Reproduc7on: Jessamine Eve Bulanadi-Suba

The document describes the anatomy and physiology of the male and female reproductive systems. It explains that the female external genitalia includes the vulva, labia majora, clitoris, and vaginal opening. The female internal organs are the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. The male internal organs are the testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts and prostate. Conception occurs through fertilization when sperm meets and fertilizes an egg, beginning pregnancy. Factors that influence conception are discussed such as a woman's fertile period surrounding ovulation.

The Biological Female
• The female external genitalia consists of the following:
a) Vulva
b) Mons Veneris
c) Labia Majora
d) Prepuce
e) Clitoris
f) Labia Minora
g) Vestibule
h) Urethral Opening
i) Vaginal Opening
j) Perineum

b) The female internal reproductive structures consist of the following


as described and shown:
Vagina
Cervix
Uterus
Fallopian Tubes
Ovaries
• The male internal reproductive organs
a) Testes
b) Vas Deferens
c) Seminal Vesicles
d) Ejaculatory Ducts
e) Prostate
f) Urethra
Male Hormones
• Testosterone - major male hormone produced mainly by the testes,
but there are other glands that also produce some testosterone.

• Male Secondary Sexual CharacterisJcs that emerge aKer puberty


a) No monthly cycle
b) ElongaJon of vocal cords (lower voice)
c) Broader shoulder
d) Deeper chest cavity
The Process of Reproduc9on
• How does one ovulate?
OvulaJon will happen about 10-16 days, whatever the length your
menstrual cycle, before the start of the next period.

OvulaJon is a result of the periodic hormonal changes in the female


body aKer puberty. This is the most ferJle period of the menstrual
cycle. Thus, if a woman has sexual intercourse in the days immediately
surrounding ovulaJon, she will be more likely to conceive.
• Ovulation is a result of the periodic hormonal changes in the female
body after puberty. This is the most fertile period of the menstrual
cycle. Thus, if a woman has sexual intercourse in the days
immediately surrounding ovulation, she will be more likely to
conceive. (Yolanda Smith, B. Pharm. New Medical Life Sciences.2019)
How does pregnancy occur?
• Conception is the process that begins with fertilization of an egg by
the sperm an ends with implantation.

• A normal pregnancy last 37-42 weeks (nine months). This is measured


from the first day of the last period. Pregnancy is discussed in terms
of trimester 9three-month periods). Since each trimester is different
from the rest. After 8 weeks, the embryo is officially referred to as a
fetus.
What can be done to prevent teenage
pregnancy?
• Teens are still engaging in sexual activity and teen girls are still
pregnant.

• Equipping the youth with the knowledge, skills and attitudes


necessary to protect themselves against unwanted pregnancy and
provide them access to reproductive health care are needed.
What are the health effects of early
pregnancy in the growing adolescent?
• Younger women who become pregnant face a higher risk than older
women in developing a number of other complicaJons.

• These complicaJon can be any or a combinaJon of the following


manifestaJons:
a) Excessive vomiJng
b) Severe anemia
c) Hypertension
d) Convulsions
e) difficulty in breast feeding
f) premature and low birth weight babies
g) InfecJon
h) prolong labor
i) high mortality or death

Ages 20-30 years are the safest period of woman’s life for child bearing.
