Q

Where does the gonadal artery develope?

A

With the gonads which develops around the kidneys, they then descend bringing the vasculature with them

20
Q

How does an erection occur?

A

Production of nitric oxide by deep arteries of the penis which fill lacunae in corpora cavernosa

21
Q

What is the sympathetic nervous system related to in the male sexual act?

A

Ejaculation

22
Q

How does ejaculation occur?

A

SNS simulates contraction of smooth muscle, reproductive glands and accessory glands

23
Q

What does the somatic motor complex stimulate?

A

Ejaculation through the contraction of skeletal muscles around the bulb of the penis

24
Q

How does an erection occur?

A

Parasympathetic response to stimuli cause arteries in erectile tissue to dilate, erect tissue becomes engorged with blood and intromission can occur

25
Q

How does emission occur?

A

Sympathetic response to smooth muscle of ductus deferens contracts to move sperm into ampulla which contracts, along with seminal vesicles and prostate gland to move sperm and seminal fluid into urethra

26
Q

What happens when sperm and seminal fluid move to urethra

A

It becomes activated

27
Q

How does expulsion occur?

A

Semen in urethra activates somatic and sympathetic reflexes causing contractions of urethral smooth muscles and pelvic floor contraction to eject semen

28
Q

What is resolution?

A

When blood flow to the penis is reduced and it becomes flaccid

29
Q

What are the stages of the female sexual response?

A

Engorgement of clitoris, labia and vagina in response to autonomic stimulation. Lubricating fluid is secreted through vaginal wall into vestibules. Vagina increases in width and length. Uterus elevates upwards and rhythmic contraction of vaginal, uterine and perineal muscles

30
Q

Where is semen released into the vagina?

A

The upper part

31
Q

Where does semen travel once it has entered the vagina?

A

To the uterine tube for fertilisation

32
Q

What does sperm fuse with?

A

Secondary oocytes

33
Q

What happens to the secondary oocyte once the sperm has fused?

A

It completes meiosis II and becomes a zygote

34
Q

What happens to the zygote?

A

It initiates cleavage and travels towards the uterus for implantation

35
Q

How long does it take between fertilisation and implantation?

A

About 7 days

36
Q

What is contraception?

A

Any method used to prevent pregnancies

37
Q

What are the methods of contraception?

A

Natural and artificial

38
Q

What is natural contraception?

A

Relys on timing of coitus or behaviour during coitus - has a high failure rate

39
Q

What are the three types of natural method?

A

Rhythm method (ovulation timing), withdrawal method and lactational infertility

40
Q

What are the types of artificial contraception methods?

A

Barrier methods, intrauterine devices, hormonal contraceptives and sterilisation

41
Q

What are barrier methods?

A

Caps, diaphragms and condoms

42
Q

What is a cap or diaphragm?

A

An imperfect barrier which should be used in conjunction with spermicidal foams, jellies, creams or sponges. Needs to remain in place at least 6 hours after

43
Q

What are the pros of condoms?

A

Cheap, readily available, easy to use and protect against STI

44
Q

What is the non-hormonal intrauterine device?

A

Copper IUD - causes low grade inflammation and reduces sperm transport. Is toxic to oocytes and zygotes and impairs implantation

45
Q

What is hormonal contraception?

A

Steroidal contraceptives, delivers progestin with or without an estrogen which suppresses ovulation and affects mucus produces by cervix

46
Q

What is the combined oral pill?

A

Steroidal contraception with estrogen and progestin which suppresses ovulation and affects mucus

47
Q

What are forms of progestin only contraception?

A

The progestin only pill which affects only cervical mucus, the subdermal implant which acts primary by disrupting follicular growth and ovulation and the hormonal IUD

48
Q

What is the hormonal IUD?

A

Progestin only which affects mucus and also locally affects endometrium. May prevent ovulation

49
Q

What is sterilisation?

A

In females - tubal ligation or salpingectomy (cut/cauterise or remove uterine tubes)
In males - vasectomy (cut ductus deferens)
