Human Bio: Reproductive System & Sex, Path, Genetics, Presentation, Cruxfication

Male Reproductive System

• Long urethra

• seminal vesicle

• prostate

• testis/edidymis

Epididymis

Where sperm comes from

Female Reproductive system

• ovaries

• uterine (fallopian) tubes

• cervix

Cervical mucosa

• Acidic

• Ph around 3

Bacterial STDs

• Chlamydia

• Gonorrhea

• Syphilis

Viral STDs

• HIV

• HPV

• Herpes

Parasite STD

• Trick (trichmonoas)

• Crab lice

Birth control

• Oral, injection, insertion — all alter your hormones

• Mood swings

• Weight gain

• Increased risk of stroke by 2%

• Decrease bone density

• Altered attraction

Effects of Pornography

• Isolation and depression

• Impaired capacity for genuine relationships (w/ God and ppl)

• Decreased ability to climax w/actual sex

• Increases risk of divorce by 50%

• Alters brain chem — poor impulse control, emotion regulation, and decision-making

X-linked disorders

• Get it from mom

• Sickle cells, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and color blindness

CRISPER

• Can edit single genes in a genome

• “Build-a-baby”

Crohn’s Disease

• Chronic inflammation/damage to the intestines

• Exacerbated by diet and stress

• Can occur anywhere from the esophagus to the rectum

• If unable to manage with diet or medication — surgical options (ending with colostomy bag)

Symptoms of Crohn’s Diseasee

• Abdominal pain

• Cramping

• Diarrhea

• Fatigue

• Weakness

• Weight loss

• Bloody stools

• Mouth sores

• Seepage

Eczema

• Dry, itchy patches of skin caused by an environmental trigger

• Not contagious, over-reactive immune system

• 6 types

• Symptoms appear in childhood (half grow out of the issue)

• Treatment include — topical or oral medications, avoidance of irrtiant

Lymes Disease

• Caused by borrelia bacteria (usually via tick bite)

• Most common in midwest, northeast, and mid-atlantic states

• 3 Stages

• Less likely to have an infection if tick is removed in less than 24 hours

• Treatment — Antibiotic (oral or IV)

Stage 1 of Lymes Disease

• Rash

• Fever

• Headache

• Fatigue

• Stiffness Aches

Stage 2 of Lymes Disease

Increase in symptoms in stage 1 with the addition of numbness, swelling of eyes, and heart irregularities

Stage 3 of Lymes

All of the symptoms in stages 1 and 2 with the addition of arthritis in major joints

TMJ

• Often caused by muscle imbalance/tension in the jaw

• Conservative treatment: PT

• Surgery is an option for treatment

• Pain relievers, muscle relaxants, injections

Tuberculosis

• Caused by Mycobacterium

• Contagious via droplets

• Primary — fever, tied, cough

• Latent — no symptoms

• Active — months/years later, coughing up blood, chest pain, difficulty breathing, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue

POTS

• Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome

• Poor regulation of autonomic nervous system — vasoconstriction, HR

• Affected by medication, diet, and physical activity

• Effects mostly women — illness, pregnancy, head trauma.

• Causes endocrine response of heart, but not vessels

• Treatment — diet, exercises, hydration, medication

Diabetes

• Issue with regulation of blood sugars; insulin vs glucose

• Type 1 — childhood/teen

• Type 2 — adult

• Treatment — Insulin injection, diet and exercise

Long-term risks of Diabetes

• Cardiovascular damage

• Nerve damage

• Kidney damage

• Eye damage

• Skin damage

• Alzheimer’s

Symptoms of Diabetes

• Thirst

• Excessive urination

• Tired

• Mood changes

• Blurred vision

• Slow healing,

• Infection

Innate Immune System

• Non-specific

• Responds to everything the same way

• Quick response time

Examples of the innate immune system

• Barriers: skin and membranes

• Cellular: phagocytes, NL cells, inflammatory response

Cardinal Signs of Inflammation

• Redness (Rubor): due to increased blood flow

• Heat (Calor): Also a result of increased blood flow

• Swelling (Tumor): Caused by fluid accumulation in tissues

• Pain (Dolor): Resulting from the release of chemicals that stimulate nerve endings

• Loss of function: This can occur due to pain and swelling, affecting mobility in the area.

Adaptive Immune System

• Respond to antigens

• Cell mediated vs antibody mediated

• Has memory

• Must be exposed to specific antigen to develop this immunity
