Presentation Transcript

  1. Both Sexes • GENDER IDENTIFICATION LADDER (Chronological development) • Intrauterine = genetic sexuality, gonadal sexuality, structural • development • 2. Early Childhood = Gender Identity • 3. Childhood = Gender preference • 4. Pre-adolescence = Gender adoption • 5. Pubescence = Structural maturation • 6. Late adolescence = Gender adoption • Gender Identification

  2. MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Sexuality – quality of being sexual; Male v Female Masculinity - behavioral expressions traditionally observed in males - EXAMPLES Learned Behaviors - behaviors taught to individuals as they grow - become beliefs GENDER IDENTIFICATION LADDER (Chronological development) Intrauterine = genetic sexuality, gonadal sexuality, structural development 2. Early Childhood = Gender Identity 3. Childhood = Gender preference 4. Pre-adolescence = Gender adoption 5. Pubescence = Structural maturation 6. Late adolescence = Gender adoption Gender Identification

  3. MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

  4. MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM • Penis – (Glans Penis) Sex organ • Erectile Tissue – 3 cylindrical chambers – 2 cavernous & 1 spongy body – during stimulation = vasocongestion takes place • Foreskin – surrounds head of penis • Corona – rim of the head – contains nerve endings • Scrotum- sac holding testes – temp reg. • Gonads – testicles – male sex glands – produce testosterone and • sperm • Seminiferous tubules – structures in testes were sex cell produced • Epididymis – on back half of testes – stores sperm • Urethra – tube that extends from bladder – joins w/ vas deferens • Seminal Vesicle – releases clear, alkaline fluid – nourishes sperm • w/ fructose – adds to mobility • Prostate Gland – alkaline fluid – protects from acidic areas in • urethra & vagina

  5. MALE • Cowpers Gland –(bulbourethral gland) lubricates urethra w/ • clear viscous mucus • Semen – ejaculated fluid - contains Sem V, Prostate, Cowper

  6. Male Reproductive System

  7. SPERM • Acrosome – cap structure that covers the head – contains enzymes that help sperm locate and penetrate ova membrane • Head – contains genetic material from male – 23 chromosomes • Mitochondria – midpiece – helps supply energy – converts fructose from Sem. Ves • Tail - movement -

  8. DISORDERS IN MALES

  9. HEALTHY BEHAVIORS • Wear protective gear when playing sports • Avoid wearing tight clothes • Practice good hygiene • Not circumcised, wash underneath foreskin • Monthly TCSE • Annual physical exam • Moderate use of alcohol when of age • Avoid smoking & drug use • Exercise regularly – can prevent ED as you get older and help lessen chance of diabetes, cardiovascular disease & hypertension.
