Chapter 3 Flashcards
is the study of body structure in relation to body parts.
Anatomy
collapsible canal extending from vaginal opening back and upward into body to cervix and uterus.
Vagina
small end of uterus to which vagina leads.
Cervix –
It is the opening in cervix leading to interior of uterus
Cervix
womb, organ within pelvic zone where fetus is carried
Uterus
carry egg cells from ovaries to uterus, this is where fertilization occurs
Fallopian tubes
produce estrogen and progesterone. Also, produce ova, egg cells, and bring them to maturity.
Ovaries
produce androgen, particularly large quantities of testosterone, which greatly influence male development and drive sexual motivation; also produce sperm cells in virtually unlimited quantity over the entire course of the lifespan
Testes
travels from testicle toward urethra carrying sperm
Vas deferens
two glands that produce alkaline fluid rich in fructose sugar, comprising some 70% of semen volume. Alkaline nature may stimulate sperm to start self-propulsion and sugar may provide sperm nutrients.
Seminal vehicles
connect vas deferens to urethra
Ejaculatory ducts
gland producing alkaline secretions that account for about 30% of semen volume
Prostate
tube within penis that carries sperm and semen the rest of the way to the opening of the penis
Urethra
is the process that begins with fertilization of an egg by the sperm and end with implantation.
Conception
This natural method involves refraining from sexual intercourse and is the most effective natural birth control method with ideally 0% fail rate.
Abstinence
This method is also called as the rhythm method. It entails withholding from coitus during the days that the woman is fertile.
Calendar Method
indicates that woman’s temperature at 0.5oF
The basal body temperature (BBT)
The change in the cervical mucus during ovulation is the basis for this method.
Cervical Mucus Method
uses an over-the-counter kit that requires the urine sample of the woman.
The ovulation detection method
is one of the oldest methods that prevent conception. A couple still goes on with coitus, but the man withdraws the moment he ejaculates to emit the sperm outside of the female reproductive organ.
Coitus Interruptus
Also known as the pill, contain synthetic estrogen and progesterone.
oral contraceptives
a latex or synthetic rubber sheath that is placed on the erect male reproductive organ before penetration into the female reproductive organ that trap the sperm during ejaculation.
The male condom
