FMST 316 FINAL STUDY GUIDE
testicles - Answers -involves the cremaster muscles that regulates the temp of testes
- happy sperm is cooler
- muscles relax to cool (ie. fever) and constrict when cold
- when aroused, becomes compact and pulls toward the body (ready for ejaculation)
creates sperm: seminiferous tubules make sperm and hormones -> mature in
epididymis -> vas deferens -> urethra -> ejaculation
the ejaculate - Answers -see testicles for basic route: made in testes -> matures in
epididymus -> passes vas deferens / bladder -> picks up fluid from seminal vesicles and
prostate glands -> gets through urethra -> OUT
- only 1% is sperm
priapism - Answers -persistent and painful erection
peryonie's disease - Answers -blockage of blood at the base of the penis (corpus
corpora tissue)
- some tissue doesn't receive blood from blockage causing the penis to curve (the soft
part)
clitoral sensitivity - Answers -gonad that turns into clitorus
same amount of nerve endings as the tip of the penis
direct stimulation may be painful/ticklish
- indirect (fingers/mouth) is better to reach orgasm
the vagina - Answers -Angle:
- canal: upwards and tilt slightly backwards
Structure:
- 3 layers: outermost -> inner
- vaginal mucosa: releases secretion to maintain healthy chemical balance and during
sexual arousal from increased blood flow
- second layer is muscular: tighten when aroused
- lower layer: sensory nerves highly susceptible to stimulation - also more sensitive
- The outer third has circular muscles that expand and contract
- The inner two-thirds have lengthwise muscles
Secretions:
- lubrication serves 3 functions:
, - raises chance of contraception (hospitable for sperm)
- increases sexual pleasure
- maintain healthy chemical balance
amenorrhea - Answers -primary: never menstruated, due to lack of estrogen
- without estrogen -> no ovulation -> no period
- can be caused by lack of body fat (ie. athletes or anorexia)
secondary: had at one point but it stopped
- stress
treatment: hormones
endometriosis - Answers -a condition in which patches of endometrial tissue escape
the uterus and become attached to other structures in the pelvic cavity causing pain
treatment: take hormones to stop periods which stop tissue growth
ectopic pregnancy - Answers -implantation of the fertilized egg in any site other than
the normal uterine location
- most common in fallopian tubes
treatment: surgery or abortion
attitudes about STBBIs - Answers -stigma around STBBIs
- less likely to seek treatment and be honest about sexual history
- common beliefs its because of having multiple partners
- those with one partner are less safe -> lower condom use and testing
stigma creates bigger risk
high risk groups - WSM - Answers -receiving end of ejaculate that stay inside them for
longer
- risk of pregnancy
vaginal tissue is thinner and likely to tear, opening the bloodstream
- risk of infection
"that guy" - Answers -hypermasculine, supports male dominance, sense of self
importance and entitlement
- lack impulse control due to entitlement
- high levels of alcohol use
- seek peer acceptance of frats, athletes, and military
- objectification of women, believes "rape myths"
- avg. 6 victims -- serial rapist
