– how a person experiences his or her own body.

Body Image

expectations, and responsibilities that are considered appropriate for women (feminine) and men (masculine).

Gender behaviors,

is the inner sense a person has of being male or female, which may be the same as or different from sex assigned at birth. your internal and psychological sense of yourself as a woman, a man, both, in between or neither.

Gender identity

refers to the behavior a person exhibits, which may or may not be the same as the person’s gender identity or sex assigned at birth.

Gender expression

set of perceived behavioral norms associated particularly with males or females, in a given social group or system. For women (feminine) and men (masculine).

Gender roles

includes all of the human being’s genetically determined anatomy and physiology, which is also influenced by intrauterine conditions

Biologic Sex

begins at the moment of conception and continues through life.

Reproductive Development

Sex assigned at birth is generally determined at the moment of conception by chromosome information, which is supplied by the sperm that joins with the ovum to create the new life

INTRAUTERINE DEVELOPMENT

how many weeks does it take for external genitals to develop

about week 12 of intrauterine life

is the stage of life at which secondary sex changes begin.

Puberty / PUBERTAL DEVELOPMENT

what part of the brain stimulates synthesis and releasing for gonadotropin releasing hormone? (GnRH)

hypothalamus

what are the external genitals that develop in the intrauterine stage

penile tissue elongates,ventral surface closes to form a urethra uterus, labia minora and labia majora

what part triggers the release of FSH and LH

anterior pituitary

what are FSH AND LH termed as

gonadotropin (gonad= ovary tropin+ growth)

FSH and LH cause...

androgen and estrogen, which initate secondary sex characteristics, but they continue to cause production of eggs and influence mentrual cycles

___________are the hormones responsible for muscular development, physical growth, and the increase in sebaceous gland secretions that cause typical acne in both boys and girls during adolescence.

Androgenic hormones

androgenic hormones is produced where

adrenal cortex and testes adrenal cortex and ovary

closure of growth plates in long bones

adrenarche

level of the primary androgenic hormone, testosterone, is low in males until puberty at what ages

between 12-14

testosterone during puberty for males brings changes in the:

testes-scrotum-penis-prostate-seminal vesicles- male pubic axillary and facial, laryngeal enlargement with voice change, spermatozoa maturation, adrenarche.

for girls, testosterone causes:

enlargement of labia majora, clitoris, axillary and pubic hair

beginning of breast development is termed

thelarche

when does thelarche start

usually starts 1 to 2 years before menstruation.

what triggers excretion of the hormone estrogen

FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. ovarian follicles in females excrete estrogen.

estrogen in females lead to

the development of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and vagina; typical female fat distribution; hair patterns; and breast development. It also closes the epiphyses of long bones in girls the same way testosterone closes the growth plate in boys.

the first menstrual period is called ___ anf average age occurs at________

menarche, 12.4 years old, or early as 9 late as 17

ovulation occurs how many years after menarche

1-2 years after menarche

what are the sequential order of the secondary sex characteristics (female)

-growth spurt - increase in transverse diameter of the pelvis - breast development - growth of pubic hair - onset of menstruation - growth of axillary hair -vaginal secretions

what are the sequential order of the secondary sex characteristics (male)

Increase in weight Growth of testes Growth of face, axillary, and pubic hair Voice changes Penile growth Increase in height Spermatogenesis (production of sperm)

what is the human sexual response cycles (four discrete stages)

excitement plateau orgasm resolution

This stage, which is characterized by the body’s initial response to feelings of sexual desire, may last from minutes to several hours.

Excitement (also called arousal)

This stage, the highest point of sexual excitement, generally lasts between 30 seconds and three minutes.

Plateau.

This stage, the peak of the plateau stage and the point at which sexual tension is released, generally lasts for less than a minute.

Orgasm.

The duration of this stage—the period during which the body returns to its pre-excitement state—varies greatly and generally increases with age.

Resolution

what is the menstrual cycle

begins on the first day of menstrual bleeding and ends on the day before menstrual bleeding begins again.

what is considered an average menstrual flow and what is abnormal

2-7, 1-9

what is the interval between cycles in average and what is not unusal

28 days average; 23-25 not unusal

what is the avg amount of menstrual flow

30-80mL per menstrual period. saturating a pad or tampon in less than an hour is heavy bleeding

Color of menstrual flow –

dark red; a combination of blood, mucus, and endometrial cells

the odor of menstruation can be described similar to_____-

that of marigolds

is the cessation of menstrual cycles

Menopause

what is the normal sperm analysis count

Count 60million/ml; motility 60%; volume 1-6ml per ejaculate; ph 7.2-7.8

under optimal conditions how long is the lifespan of sperm

3-5 days

what are the phases of menstrual cycle

Pre – ovulatory Phase (Follicular Phase) – cervix is relatively close Ovulatory Phase Post-ovulatory Phase (Luteal Phase)– cervix absolutely close

On the first day of the menstrual cycle, these hormones are ____ and it causes shedding of the endometrium as menstrual bleeding

estrogen and progesterone levels are low

when ____ level peak, brain is stimulated to produce LH.

ESTROGEN

sudden increase of LH causes release of _____ a process called___

mature ovum, ovulation

the process of relasing of mature ovum is called

OVULATION

when does ovulation occur

12-16 days before next menstruation

how long does the egg stay up in the fallopian tube to be fertilized

24 hours

what can you expect during the ovulatory phase

The lining of the uterus thickens The egg is mature and is finally released The cervical mucus is wet, slippery, stretchy and clear. There is a feeling of vaginal wetness. The cervix is soft and open.

______ in the ovary produces estrogen in smaller amounts and progesterone in greater amounts

corpus luteum

what happens to the remaining follicles that underwent initial maturation

they are transformed into corpus luteum

Progesterone causes the following changes in the woman’s reproductive system.

- The cervical mucus becomes pasty and is no longer slippery and stretchy. - The vagina feels dry (this type of mucus does not allow the sperm to travel into the uterus and prevents the sperm from living for more than few minutes to a few hours). - The cervix becomes firm; the cervical opening closes so that the sperm cannot pass through the uterus. - The basal body temperature increases and remains high for the rest of the cycle.

if fertilization did not occur corpus luteum regresses, and prog and estrog decreases causing menstruation.

When fertilization occurs, the fertilized egg produces what hormone?

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) hormone.

Effects of HCG:

- The corpus luteum is maintained so that the estrogen and progesterone production is sustained. - Due to sustained levels of estrogen and progesterone, the endometrium is maintained and menstruation is maintained and menstruation does not happen. - The presence of HCG causes the pregnancy test to read positive
