Physiology sex, pregnancy and lactation Flashcards
Most important source of sensory nerve signals for initiating the male sexual act.
Glans penis
Special modality of sensation
Exual sensation
S2, S3, S4
Pudendal nerve- sacral plexus- sacral portion of SC
Impulses may also enter the SC from areas adjacent to the penis
Anal epithelium
Scrotum
Perineal structures
First effect of male sexual stimulation
Penile erection
Degree of ercetion is proportional to the degree of stimulation wheather
Psychic
Physical
Male
Erection- orgasm- resolution
Facidity of penis after orgasm
Detumescence
The entire period of emission and ejaculation is called the
Male orgasm
At its termination, the male sexual excitement disappears almostentirely within 1-2 minutes and erection cease
Resolution
Successful performance of the female sexual act depends on both
Psychic stimulation
Sexual stimulation
Especially sensitive for initiating sexual sensations
Clitoris
Lead to erectile tissue
Genital tubercle
Female, lubrication
Bilateral bartholin glands
Vaginal epithelium
Vaginal epithelium
Stratified squamous
Wet mucosa
Age and menopause
Dry vagina
Sexual stimulation and psychic conditioning reaches maximum
Female orgasm or climax
Reflexes increase uterine and fallopian tube motility during the
Orgasm
Can fascilitate the meeting of egg and sperm

Female
One germ cell ( oocyte)
Surrounded by endocrine cells
Single ovarian follicle
Cells in ovarian follicle
Granulosa cell
About every 28 days, gonadotropic hormones from the anterior pituitary cause about how many new follicles to begin to grow in the ovaries
8-12
But only 1 persist to become dominant follicle or graffian follicle
Primary oocyte
Graffian follicle
The mature ovum surrounded by the
Corona radiata
Ovum fertilization
Mature ovum surrounded by corona radiata Dispersal of corna radiata Entry of the sperm Fromation of male and female pronuclei Reorganization of full complement of chromosomes and beginning division of the ovum
Excess
Pola bodies
4 sperm
1 spermatocyte
1 eggcell
1 oocyte
1 egg is to 1 sperm
No other sperm can penetrate
Acrosome reaction
Granulosa cells attached to the outside of the ovum
Corona radiata
Before a sperm can enter the ovum, it must first penetrate the multiple layers of
Corona radiata
Zona pellucida
3-4 days
Blastocyst
5 days
Implantation
Location that stay sperm and egg
Ampulla
Steps in ovulation to implantation
Ovulation
Fertilization of the ovum in the fallopian tube
Implantation of the blastocyst in the uterus
Action of trophoblast cells in implantation of the blastocyst in the uterine endometrium
Before implantation, the blastocyst obtain its nutrition from the uterine endometrial secretion
Uterine milk
Implantation of blastocyst
Invasion of cyto and syncitiotrophoblast
Formation of syncitiothropoblast
Placental formation
Extra
Molar pregnancy
Kiawa
When conceptus implants in the endometrium
Continued secretion of progesterone
Endometrial cell swelling and storage of more nutrients
