male reproductive system
serves to produce sperm and introduce them into the female body
secretes hormones
protects and nourishes sperm
Male sex hormones are called
androgens
affects secondary sexual characteristics
Related to sperm number, size, and motility
Fertility
menarche
the first menstrual period
During ovulation, body temp will
rise
LH and FSH will increase during
ovulation
Estradiol and progesterone will be low during
ovulation
A sharp decrease in progesterone and temp will occur to precurse
menses
Increase in progesterone after luteal phase typically indicates
pregnancy
Estrogen peaks during
ovulation
Menses will continue for about ______ decades
3 to 4
proliferative phase
The second phase of the uterine (endometrial) cycle, during which the endometrium
(shed off during menstration is rebuilt). This phase of the cycle is under the control of
estrogen, secreted from the follicle developing in the ovary during this time period. The
proliferative phase typically lasts from day 6 to day 14 of the menstrual cycle.
lining of uterus is 1-2mm thick
Circulating estrogen levels are low
How are endometrial glands affected during proliferative phase?
They become enlarged
secretory phase
The third phase of the uterin (endometrial) cycle, during which the rebuilt endometrium
is enhanced with glycogen and lipid stores. The secretory phase is primarily under the
controll of progestone and estrogen (secreted from the copus luteum during this time
,period), adn typically lasts from day 15 to day 28 of the menstrual cycle.
Can increase breast growth
Increased amounts of progesterone
During the secretory phase, the endometrium becomes highly vascular and
suitable for a
fertilized ovum
ischemic phase
Days 27-28 of the menstrual cycle. The corpus luteum degenerates into white scar
tissue (corpus albicans) and stops producing estradiol and progesterone. The
endometrium sloughs off, and menstruation begins
Limited blood supply
Period begins
endometrium becomes pale and thin
Hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian cycle
low levels of estrogen, stimulates hypothalamus to release GnRH, causing the anterior
pituitary to release FSH and LH, which acts on the ovaries to develop and mature the
ovarian follicle, causing the uterine lining to thicken, producing a dominant follicle,
causing an LH surge, which starts ovulation, causing the corpus leteum to produce
progesterone, the uterine lining stabilizes, body temp rises, lasts for 14 days, after 14
days if no pregnancy occurs the corpus luteum dies, body temp drops, uterine lining
becomes unstable, causing menstraution
follicular phase
Day 1 of the menstrual cycle
Last about 14 days
LH and FSH are dominant
FSH works more in the early phase and LH works more in the late phase
climacteric phase
Phase where women and men are transitioning from reproductive phase to
nonreproductive phase of life.
perimenopausal phase
the stage of menopause during which estrogen and progesterone levels are erratic,
menstrual cycles may be very irregular, and women begin to experience symptoms
such as hot flashes
Declining fertility
Irregular timing and amounts of bleeding
menopause
the time of natural cessation of menstruation; also refers to the biological changes a
woman experiences as her ability to reproduce declines
, last period
Postmenopausal phase
the last stage of menopause, which begins when a woman has had no menstrual
periods for a year or more
Estrogen produced solely by the adrenal gland
the inability to conceive a child
infertility
sterility
absolute inability to reproduce
hysterosalpingography
a radiographic examination of the uterus and fallopian tubes
contrast precautions
Postcoital test (PCT)
An examination that evaluates the cervical mucus, sperm motility, sperm-mucus
interaction, and the sperm's ability to negotiate the cervical mucus barrier. Also called
Sims-Huhner test.
Instruct patient to arrange to come in 6-12 hours after intercourse for evaluation of the
cervical mucus
infertility treatment
Medications to induce ovulation
Surgical options
Therapeutic insemination
Assisted reproductive
Infertility Medications
Clomiphene citrate
Bromocriptine mesylate
GnRH analogs
GnRH antagonist
Gonadotropins
Progesterone
assisted reproductive technologies
methods for overcoming infertility that include artificial insemination, fertility drugs, and
IVF
Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT)
procedure in which the sperm and ovum are placed directly in a fallopian tube
zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT)
procedure in which an egg is fertilized in the laboratory and then placed in a fallopian
tube
Tubal embryo transfer (TET)
A medical procedure where an early-stage embryo is transferred into the fallopian tube.
In vitro fertilization (IFV)
