childbearing
the process off bringing up a child or children
childrearing
a multidimensional phenomenon that includes
feelings, attitudes, and actions
sexuality
the term used to denote a person’s
chromosomal sex: male (XY) or female (XX)
biologic gender
the male or female behavior a person
exhibits, which, again, may or may not be the same as
biologic gender or gender identity
gender role
Behavior or act committed to please the
sexual desire.
sexual gratification
person who finds sexual fulfillment
with a member of the opposite gender
heterosexual
person who finds sexual fulfillment

sexual abstinence
self-stimulation for erotic pleasure
masturbation
the use of visual materials such as
magazines or photographs for sexual arousal
erotic stimulation
sexual arousal resulting from the use of certain objects or situations

transvestite
involves inflicting pain (sadism) or receiving pain (masochism) to achieve sexual satisfaction
sadomasochism
Occurs with physical and psychological stimulation (i.e., sight, sound, emotion, or thought) that causes parasympathetic nerve stimulation
excitement
The plateau stage is reached just before orgasm
plateau
occurs when stimulation proceeds through the plateau stage to a point at which the body suddenly discharges accumulated sexual tension
orgasm
a 30-minute period during which the external and internal genital organs return to an unaroused state
resolution
Lessened interest in sexual relations is normal in some circumstances; the support of a caring sexual partner or relief of the tension causing the stress allows a return to sexual interest
inhibited sexual desire
can be a result of poor sexual technique, concentrating too hard on achievement, or negative attitudes toward sexual relationships
failure to achieve orgasm
is the inability of a man to produce or maintain an erection long enough for vaginal penetration or partner satisfaction (Wessells et al., 2007)
erectile dysfunction
ejaculation before penile–vaginal contact (Docherty, 2007). can be unsatisfactory and frustrating for both partners
premature ejaculation
is excessive and unrelenting sexual arousal in the absence of desire (Mahoney & Zarate, 2007)
persistent sexual arousal syndrome (PSAS)
is involuntary contraction of the muscles at the outlet of the vagina when coitus is attempted that prohibits penile penetration (Engman, Wijma, & Wijma, 2007)
vaginismus
pain during coitus
dyspareunia
inflammation of the vestibule
vestibulitis
The sex of an individual is determined at the moment of conception by the chromosome information supplied by the ovum and sperm that joined to create the new life
intrauterine development
a body organ that produces the cells necessary for reproduction (the ovary in females, the testis in males)
gonad
Puberty is the stage of life at which secondary sex changes begin
pubertal development
the hormones responsible for muscular development, physical growth, and the increase in sebaceous gland secretions that causes typical acne in both boys and girls
role of androgen
When triggered at puberty by FSH, ovarian follicles in females begin to excrete a high level of the hormone
role of estrogen
rugated, skin-covered, muscular pouch suspended from the perineum. Its functions are to support the testes and to help regulate the temperature of sperm
scrotum
Main reproductive organ of male; produces sperm and male hormones through testosterone
are two ovoid glands, 2 to 3 cm wide, that lie in the scrotum
testes
produce spermatozoa
seminiferous tubules
responsible for the production of testosterone
leydig’s cells
is composed of three cylindrical masses of erectile tissue in the penis shaft: two termed the corpus cavernosa, and a third termed the corpus spongiosum
penis
Ventral fold of tissue attaches the skin to the glans
frenulum
responsible for conducting sperm from the tubule to the vas deferens, the next step in the passage to the outside
epididymis
is an additional hollow tube surrounded by arteries and veins and protected by a thick fibrous coating that carries sperm from the epididymis
vas deferens
two convoluted pouches that lie along the lower portion of the posterior surface of the bladder and empty into the urethra by way of the ejaculatory ducts
seminal vesicles
pass through the prostate gland and join the seminal vesicles to the urethra.
These causes the reflex of action of ejaculation. Male has two of them.
ejaculatory ducts
a chestnut-sized gland that lies just below the bladder
prostate gland
lie beside the prostate gland and empty via short ducts into the urethra. they secrete an alkaline fluid that helps counteract the acid secretion of the urethra and ensure the safe passage of spermatozoa
bulbourethral gland
a hollow tube leading from the base of the bladder
urethra
Accessory organs of the female reproductive system
mammary gland
Portion of the duct just posterior to the nipples serves as reservoir for milk before breastfeeding
ampulla
Composed of smooth muscle that is capable of erection on manual or sucking stimulation
nipple
Darkly pigmented area surrounding the nipple
areola
Passageway for sperm and menstrual flow Receptacle for penis during intercourse
vagina
A pad of adipose tissue located over the symphysis pubis, the pubic bone joint. It is covered by a triangle of coarse, curly hairs.
mons pubis
two folds of adipose tissue covered by loose connective tissue and epithelium that are positioned lateral to the labia minora. serve as protection for the external genitalia and the distal urethra and vagina
labia majora
Just posterior to the mons veneris spread 2 hairless folds of connective tissue. When stimulated, it turns to dark red or dark pink due to presence of blood vessels, no hair; smooth in texture
labia minora
A small (approximately 1 to 2 cm), rounded organ of erectile tissue at the forward junction of the labia minora. It is covered by a fold of skin, the prepuce
clitoris
Flattened, smooth surface inside the labia. The openings to the bladder (the urethra) and the uterus (the vagina)
vestibule
it is considered as part of the reproductive system because of its closeness and relationship to the vulva
urethral meatus
Located just lateral to the vaginal opening on both sides. Their ducts open into the distal vagina.
Pair of small, pea-gland located within the substances of the labia majora
bartholin’s gland or vulvovaginal glands
Pair of small glands lying on each side of the urethra.
Produce small amount of mucus and are especially susceptible to gonorrheal infection
skene’s gland or paraurethral gland
Occupies the lower portion of the vestibule and varies considerably in size and shape
vaginal orifice
The ridge of tissue formed by the posterior joining of the two labia minora and the labia majora
fourchette
Located just posterior to the fourchette.
this is a muscular area, that’s easily stretched during childbirth to allow enlargement of the vagina and passage of the fetal head
perineum
A tough but elastic semicircle of tissue that covers the opening to the vagina in childhood. Composed of mainly connective tissues both elastic and collagen. Both surfaces are covered by stratified squamous epithelium
hymen
to produce, mature, and discharge ova (the egg cells)..
produce estrogen and progesterone and initiate and regulate menstrual cycles
ovaries
