Q

activation of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system; heart rate and breathing accelerates, along with increased blood flow to the penis, vaginal walls, clitoris, and nipples. Involuntary muscular movements (myotonia), such as facial grimaces, also occur during this phase.

29
Q

Blood flow, heart rate, and breathing intensify during this phase. During
this phase, often referred to as “foreplay,” females experience an orgasmic platform— the outer third of the vaginal walls tightening—and males experience a release of preseminal fluid containing healthy sperm cells. This early release of fluid makes penile withdrawal a relatively ineffective form of birth control.

A

plateau

30
Q

shortest but most pleasurable phase. after reaching its climax, neuromuscular tension is released and the hormone oxytocin floods the bloodstream - facilitating emotional bonding

A

orgasm

31
Q

the body returns to a pre-aroused state in the resolution phase. The length of this period depends on age, frequency of recent sexual relations, level of intimacy with a partner, and novelty. Because females do not have a refractory period, they have a greater potential physiologically—of having multiple orgasms. Ironically, females are also more likely to “fake” having orgasms

A

resolution

32
Q

the body returns to a pre-aroused state in the resolution phase and males enter a period of being unresponsive to sexual stimuli

36
Q

it is the most important part of the brain for sexual functioning. this is the small area at the base of the brain consisting of several groups of nerve-cell bodies that receives input from the limbic system.

A

hypothalamus

37
Q

destruction of certain area of the hypothalamus causes complete elimination of what

A

sexual behavior

38
Q

also known as the hormone of love and is released during sexual intercourse when an orgasm is achieved. it is also released in females when they give birth or are breast feeding; it is believed that this is involved with maintaining close relationships

A

oxytocin

39
Q

it is responsible for ovulation in females by triggering egg maturity and it also stimulates sperm production in males

A

lutenizing hormone

A

caps or contraceptive diaphragm

59
