Procreative Heath Flashcards
1
Q
making of all things from nothing; an act of God
A
Creation
2
Q
creation of a new human person by sexual intercourse
A
Procreation
3
Q
all things came about by the repeated random actions of natural selection, whereby:
1. Life came into existence
2. Primitive life evolved into more complex organisms, eventually producing mankind
A
Evolutionary theory
4
Q
Process of reproduction in humans
A
- Gamete Production
- Sexual Intercourse
- Fertilization & Cleavage
- Gestation and Birth
5
Q
Gametes
A
- sperm and ovum
- each containing half the genetic information of the parent
6
Q
Gametogenesis
A
- spermatogenesis
- oogenesis
7
Q
Path of semen
A
Seminiferous tubules
Epididymis
Vas deferens
Ejaculatory ducts
Urethra
Penis
8
Q
reached just before orgasm
Increased HR to 100 to 175 BPM & RR to approximately 40 CPM
A
Plateau
9
Q
In women (plateau)
A
- clitoris is drawn forward & retracts under the clitoral prepuce
- lower part of the vagina becomes extremely congested (formation of the orgasmic platform)
- increased nipple elevation
10
Q
In men (Plateau)
A
vasocongestion leads to distention of the penis
11
Q
- shortest stage in sexual response cycle
- from plateau stage to sudden discharges of accumulated sexual tension
- vigorous contraction of muscles in pelvic area expels blood & fluid from area of congestion
- 8 to 15 contractions at intervals of 1 every 0.8 seconds in women
- contractions surrounding seminal vessels & prostate project semen into proximal urethra
- 3-7 propulsive ejaculatory contractions forces semen from penis
- orgasm is usually experienced as intense pleasure affecting whole body, not just pelvic area
- highly personal experience
A
Orgasm
12
Q
Resolution
A
- 30-minute period during which external and internal genital organs return to an unaroused state
- for men, a refractory period occurs during which further orgasm is impossible
- women do not go through refractory period, so it is possible for women who are interested and properly stimulated to have additional orgasms immediately after first
13
Q
Sexual Intercourse
4 stages
A
- Excitement
- Plateau
- Orgasm
- Resolution
14
Q
- physical & psychological stimulation (sight, sound, emotion, or thought)
- parasympathetic nerve stimulation
- arterial dilation & venous constriction in genital area
- increased blood supply leads to vasocongestion increasing muscular tension
A
Excitement
15
Q
excitment in woman
A
- clitoris increase in size
- mucoid fluid appear on vaginal walls as lubrication
- vagina widens in diameter and increases in length
- nipples become erect
