Fertilization: Union of sperm
and egg
Sperm: Male reproductive cell
Egg: Female reproductive cell
Testes: Make sperm and
produce testosterone
Epididymis: Sperm mature
here. Leave in 2-10 days
Semen: Fluid that nourishes,
protects, and allows sperm to
move about
Ejaculation: Process by which
semen leaves the body.
Contain 40 to 400 million
sperm

Testicular Torsion: Spermatic
cord becomes twisted
Undescended Testes: When
the testes remain in the body
Inguinal Hernia: Part of the
intestine protrudes into the
scrotum
Infertility: Unable to reproduce
Prostate Cancer: Most common
cause of cancer in men
Testicular self exam: Best done
after a shower. Look for
swelling, lumps, tenderness, or
changes in texture by gently
rolling each testicle gently
between your thumb and
fingers.
Female Reproductive
System






Ovaries: Produce eggs and female
sex hormones
Ovulation: Release of an egg from
an ovary
Cervix: Base of the uterus, which
bulges down into the vagina. Has a
small opening through which
sperm can enter the uterus
Vulva: The visible reproductive
parts of a female.
Fallopian Tube: Egg travels from
the ovary to the uterus.
Fertilization occurs here. Egg must
be fertilized within 12 to 24 hours
Uterus: Hollow muscular organ
that provides a place for a baby to
grow. Also called the womb.
The early development of
a child
Child Birth and Development; Implantation






Fertilization: The joining of egg and sperm to create one cell.
Takes sperm between 15 min. to an hour to reach the
fallopian tubes
30 hours after fertilization the egg divides into two cells, then
four, then eight and so on.
Four days after fertilization the egg reaches the uterus
Embryo: Fertilized egg after it has attached itself to the wall
of the uterus.
Placenta: Where the baby develops
Development of the
Embryo



Embryo grows rapidly
once implanted in the
uterus.
Formation of the heart,
brain, eyes, buds,
internal organs,
Floats in the amniotic
sac
– Embryo at 5 to 6
weeks

formed
Child Birth



– First Stage ( Dilation )
A month or two before birth
the fetus drops
First stages of delivery strong
contractions cause the cervix
to dilate
Once completely dilated the
head of the baby has begun to
extend into the birth canal
Second Stage ( Expulsion)
Head emerges fully and the shoulders
rotate
Third Stage ( Placental )
Baby is born
