1
New cards
sex chromosomes
this is define the sex (male or female) and their secondary sexual characteristics
2
New cards
society or the external environment
this might helps shape our selves.
3
New cards
Gonads
this is a reproductive glands that produce the gametes; testis or ovaries
4
New cards
Gonads
it begin to form until about eight week of embryonic development.
5
New cards
embryonic reproductive structures
this reproductive structure of males and females are alike and are said to be in indifferent stage.
6
New cards
Primary Reproductive Structure
if this reproductive structure are formed,development of the accessory structures and external genitalia begins.
7
New cards
testosterone
this is the formation of male or female structures depends on the presence of testosterone.
8
New cards
testosterone.
this is the hormone responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics.
9
New cards
Female
this is the sex that also produce testosterone, usually in smaller amounts.
10
New cards
embryonic testes
release testosterone, and formation of the duct system and genitalia follows.
11
New cards
Female Sex Cell
this is the cell called ova
12
New cards
Male Sex Cell
this is the sell called spermatozoa
13
New cards
Zygote
if the egg is already fertilized.
14
New cards
Female Embryos
this is the form of the ovaries taht will cause the development of the female ducts and external genitalia since testosterone is not produced.
15
New cards
A genetic male develops the female accessory structures and external genitalia
if the embryonic testes fail to produce testosterone.
16
New cards
If a genetic female is exposed to testosterone
the embryo has ovaries but may develop male accessory ducts and glands, as well as male reproductive organ and an empty scrotum.
17
New cards
hermaphrodite
this is an organism with both male and female genitalia.
18
New cards

20
New cards
Hermes and Aphrodite
who is the gods of male and female sexuality?
21
New cards
Pseudohermaphrodites
this is the Individuals having accessory reproductive structures that do not "match" their gonads.
22

True hermaphrodites
this is the Individuals who possess both ovarian and testicular tissues, but this condition is rare in nature.
23
New cards
one month before birth
what month wherein the male testes formed in the abdominal cavity at approximately the same location as the female ovaries, descend to enter the scrotum.
24
New cards
Cryptorchidism
thi is a condition in which one or both of the testes fail to descend from the abdomen into the scrotum
25
New cards
Abnormal separation of chromosomes during meiosis
it can lead to congenital defects of the reproductive system.
26
New cards
Meiosis
this is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information.
27
New cards
Congenital defects
this is caused by chromosomal abnormality
28
New cards
XO female
appears normal but lacks ovaries
29
New cards
YO male
die during development.
30
New cards
Phimosis
the narrowing of foreskin of the male reproductive structure and misplaced urethral opening.
31
New cards
Turner's syndrome
this is a condition that affects only females, results when one of the X chromosomes (sex chromosomes) is missing or partially missing.
32
New cards
Klinefelter's syndrome
this is a genetic condition that results when a boy is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome.
33
New cards
PUBERTY
this is the process of physical changes through which a child 's body matures into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction.
34
New cards
Puberty in males
they reach the age of 13, puberty is characterized by increase in the size of the reproductive organs followed by the appearance of hair in the pubic area, axillary, and face.
35
New cards
Puberty in males
the reproductive organs continue to grow for two (2) years until sexual maturation marked by the presence of mature semen in the testes.
36
New cards
Puberty in females
the budding of their breasts usually occurring at the age of 11* signals their puberty stage.
37
New cards
Menarche
this is the first menstrual period of females which happens 2 years after the start of puberty.
38
New cards
Hormones
it play an important role in the regulation of ovulation and fertility of females.
39
New cards
Infections
this are the most common problems associated with the reproductive system in adults.
40
New cards
Vaginal infections
this are more common in young and elderly women and in those whose resistance to disease is low.
41
New cards
Vaginal infections
the usual infections include, Escherichia coli, Syphilis, gonorrhea, and herpes virus, Yeast
42
New cards
prostatitis, urethritis, and epididymitis.
this are the most common inflammatory conditions
43
New cards
Orchiditis/orchitis
this is the inflammation of testes that can cause sterility.
44
New cards
Neoplasms
this are a major threat to reproductive organs.
45
New cards
Tumors of the breast and cervix
this are the most common reproductive cancers in adult females
46
New cards
Prostate cancer
this is a widespread problem in adult males.
47
New cards
Reduced estrogen production
it causes irregular ovulation and shorter menstrual periods.
48
New cards
Menopause
this is the event where ovulation and menses stop entirely,ending a childbearing ability, this occurs when females no longer experience menstruation.
49
New cards
Menopause
the reproductive organs and breasts begin to shrink if estrogen is no longer released from the body.
50
New cards
Erogenous Zones
refers to the parts of the body that are primarily receptive and increase sexual arousal when touched in a sexual manner.
51
New cards
mouth, breasts, genitals, and anus.
this are the commonly known erogenous zones
52
New cards
neck, thighs, abdomen, and feet.
this are common areas of the body that can be aroused easily
53
New cards
Human Sexual Behavior
defined as any activity solitary, between two persons, or in a group that induces sexual arousal
54
New cards
-Means of ensuring reproduction - Expression of one's sexuality
2 major factors that determine human sexual behavior

What are the types of Behavior?
56
New cards
Solitary behavior
this is a sexual behavior involving only one individual

New cards
Self-gratification
this is self-stimulation that leads to sexual arousal and generally, sexual climax.
58
New cards
Self-gratification
generally beginning at or before puberty, is very common among young males, but becomes less frequent or is abandoned when sociosexual activity is available.

70
New cards
Sexual response
its four stages are excitement, plateau, orgasm and resolution
71
New cards
Excitement Phase
the phase of the sexual response cycle marked by changes in the pelvic region, general physical arousal, and increases in heart rate, muscle tension, blood pressure, and rate of breathing
72
New cards
Plateau phase
the second phase of the sexual response cycle, during which physical arousal continues to increase as the partners bodies prepare for orgasm
73
New cards
Sexual climax
It is marked by a feeling of abrupt, intense pleasure.
74
New cards
Resolution phase
the fourth phase of the sexual response cycle, following orgasm, during which the body returns to its resting, or normal state
75
New cards
Sexual Problems
It may be classified as physiological, psychological and social in origin.
76
New cards
Physiological problems
this is the least common among the 3 categories. Only a small number of people suffer from diseases that are due to abnormal development of the genitalia or that part of neuropsychology controlling sexual response.
77
New cards
vaginal infections, retroverted uteri, prostatitis, adrenal tumors, diabetes, senile changes of the vagina, and cardiovascular problems.
this are the common physiologic conditions that can disturb sexual response
78
New cards
Psychological problems
this are thecomprise by far the largest category. They are usually caused by socially induced inhibitions, maladaptive attitudes, ignorance and sexual myths held by society.
79
New cards
Premature emission of semen
this is a common problem especially for young males. Caused by excessive tension in male who has been sexually deprived.
80
New cards
Erectile impotence
is almost always of psychological origin in males under 40; in older males, physical causes are more often involved.
81
New cards
Ejaculatory impotence
this is results from the inability to ejaculate in coitus, this can be possibly expected in older men or in any male who has exceeded his sexual capacity.
82
New cards
Vaginismus
is a strong spasm of the pelvic musculature constricting the female reproductive organ so that penetration is painful or impossible. It can be due to anti-sexual conditioning or psychological trauma.
