Done for religious, cultural belief. Helps prevent STI/STD’s ©McGraw-Hill Education 10 31.2 Pathophysiology – Male Common diseases and disorders of the male reproductive system: Priapism- nonsexual stimulated erection; caused by spinal injuries. Hypogonadism- testes little or no testosterone ©McGraw-Hill Education 11 31.3 The Female Reproductive System (1 of 2) Ovaries and Ovum Formation – oogenesis, ovulation Internal Accessory Organs of the Female Reproductive System • Fallopian tubes – infundibulum • Uterus • Vagina • Cervix ©McGraw-Hill Education 12 31.3 The Female Reproductive System (1 of 2) Ovaries and Ovum Formation – oogenesis, ovulation Internal Accessory Organs of the Female Reproductive System • Cervix- is the lower end of the womb (uterus). It is at the top of the vagina. It is about 2 inches long. The cervical canal passes through the cervix. It allows blood from a menstrual period and a baby (fetus) to pass from the womb into the vagina. • Fallopian tubes – infundibulum- also called uterine tubes where the passageway of ova occurs. • Uterus- houses the fertilized implanted ovum as it develops thru pregnancy • Vagina - is the female body part that connects the womb (uterus) and cervix to the outside of the body. ©McGraw-Hill Education 13 31.3 The Female Reproductive System (1 of 2) Ovaries and Ovum Formation – oogenesis, ovulation Internal Accessory Organs of the Female Reproductive System • Endometrium- vascular inner layer of uterus that builds up each month in anticipation of receiving a fertilized egg. If no pregnancy occurs menstruation occurs. • Myometrium- middle layer of the uterus, contracts during childbirth. • Perimetrium- outermost layer of the uterus ©McGraw-Hill Education 14 31.3 The Female Reproductive System (2 of 2) External Accessory Organs of the Female Reproductive System External Genitalia - Female Reproductive System • Labia majora • Labia minora - Bartholin’s glands • Clitoris • Perineum Erection, Lubrication, and Orgasm Female Reproductive Hormones and Cycle - menarche and menopause ©McGraw-Hill Education 15 External Accessory Organs of the Female Reproductive System Mammary Glands are accessory organs of both reproductive and integumentary system. Produces milk via hormone prolactin, oxytocin ©McGraw-Hill Education 16 28-Day Menstrual Cycle ©McGraw-Hill Education 17 Diagnostic Testing Self Examination Mammography Pregnancy Testing (Urine (UCG) and Blood (HCG) Fetal Screening- Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Amniocentesis Pap Smear- screening for Cervical Cancer Colposcopy Dilation & Curettage (D&C) Hysterectomy ©McGraw-Hill Education 18 ©McGraw-Hill Education 19 ©McGraw-Hill Education 20 31.4 Pathophysiology - Female Common diseases and disorders of the female reproductive system: • Breast cancer- seconding leading cause of • Cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer • Cervicitis- inflammation of the cervix • Dysmenorrhea- painful abdominal cramps during menstruation • Endometriosis- endometrial (inner lining of uterus) is found in the pelvic or abdominal cavity and bleeds in response to hormones • Fibrocystic Breast Disease- common, benign changed in the tissues of the breast • Uterine fibroids- benign growths made up of muscle cells within the wall of the uterus • Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) • Vulvovaginitis, Vaginitis- inflammation of the vagina ©McGraw-Hill Education 21 Breast Self Examination ©McGraw-Hill Education 22 31.5 Pregnancy Fertilization – zygote The Prenatal Period – blastocyst to embryo • Placenta filled with amnion • Embryonic period - primary germ layers • Fetal period - fetus Fetal Circulation – foramen ovale, ductus arteriosus and ductus venosus Hormonal Changes During Pregnancy ©McGraw-Hill Education 23 31.5 Pregnancy (Embryo Development) ©McGraw-Hill Education 24 31.6 The Birth Process (Fetal Circulation) ©McGraw-Hill Education 25 31.6 The Birth Process Birth Process • Dilation – effacement • Expulsion – parturition • Placental stage – afterbirth, APGAR test Postnatal Period Milk Production and Secretion Braxton Hicks Contraction ©McGraw-Hill Education 26 31.6 The Birth Process ©McGraw-Hill Education 27 31.6 The Birth Process ©McGraw-Hill Education 28 31.6 The Birth Process ©McGraw-Hill Education 29 31.6 APGAR Score Taken at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth ©McGraw-Hill Education 30 Disorders of Pregnancy Abortion/interruption of pregnancy Spontaneous Complete Missed Incomplete Threatened Induced ©McGraw-Hill Education 31 Disorders of Pregnancy Ectopic pregnancy- An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs outside the womb (uterus). It is life-threatening to the mother. Eclampsia- Eclampsia is seizures (convulsions) in a pregnant woman. These seizures are not related to an existing brain condition. Eclampsia follows a condition called preeclampsia. This is a serious complication of pregnancy in which a woman has high blood pressure and very rapid weight gain. Gestational Diabetes- is high blood sugar that starts or is first diagnosed during pregnancy. Pregnancy hormones can block insulin from doing its job. When this happens, glucose levels may increase in a pregnant woman's blood ©McGraw-Hill Education 32 Disorders of Pregnancy Hyperemesis gravidarum- is extreme, persistent nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It can lead to dehydration, weight loss, and electrolyte imbalances. Placenta Insufficiency-The placenta is the link between you and your baby. When the placenta does not work as well as it should, your baby can get less oxygen and nutrients from you Placenta previa- Placenta implants low in uterus and partially or completely covers cervical or opening of uterus Placenta abruption- Placenta prematurely and abruptly separates ©McGraw-Hill Education 33 31.7 Contraception (1 of 2) Coitus Interruptus (withdrawal) Rhythm Method (periodic abstinence) Mechanical and Chemical Barriers- condoms, gels, creames Oral Contraceptives- Hormonal Method- Birth Control Pills ©McGraw-Hill Education 34 31.7 Contraception (2 of 2) Injectable ContraceptivesDepo- Provera Insertable Contraceptives Contraceptive Implants Transdermal Contraceptives Intrauterine Devices- IUD Surgical Methods- Vasectomysurgical interruption of vas deferens to disrupt pathway of sperm to outside of body Tubal Ligation (tubes tied)lasering the ends of the fallopian tubes to prevent the passage of an ova or sperm ©McGraw-Hill Education 35 31.8 Infertility (1 of 2) Infertility Infertility Tests • Semen analysis • Monitoring morning body temperature • Blood hormone measurements • Endometrial biopsy • Urinalysis • Hysterosalpingogram • Laparoscopy ©McGraw-Hill Education 36 31.8 Infertility (2 of 2) Treatment of infertility • Changing habits or lifestyle • Surgery • Fertility drugs and hormone therapy • Assisted reproductive technology (ART) ©McGraw-Hill Education 37 31.9 Pathophysiology - Sexually Transmitted Infections Sexually transmitted infections/diseases occurring in both sexes: • AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) • Chlamydia- bacterial infection causing inflammation of the cervix in women and inflammation of the urethra in men. • Gonorrhea- bacterial infection in men and women also can be passed on from an infected mother to fetus • Herpes Simplex• Human papillomavirus (HPV) • Pubic Lice • Syphilis• Trichomoniasis ©McGraw-Hill Education 38 Chapter Summary (1 of 2) Organs of male reproductive system - testes, accessory organs, scrotum, penis Diseases of male reproductive system vary widely Organs of female reproductive system - ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina Diseases of female reproductive system vary Fertilization – union of sperm cell and ovum Birth process ends pregnancy 39 Chapter Summary (2 of 2) Contraceptive methods - coitus interruptus, rhythm, mechanical and chemical barriers, oral contraceptives, injectable, implantable, and insertable contraceptives, transdermal contraceptives, and surgical methods Causes of infertility vary - tests and treatments are available Sexually transmitted infections occur in both sexes, passed between sexual partners 40
