birth. Label the first mark “10 years.” Label each mark after that in 10-year increments.

Use an to mark the point that shows your current age.

Draw marks at 4 points that show important events in your life so far.

What now?

What future events did you mark? What things could change the expected

future? How might becoming a single teen

parent change the expected events of your future?

What short-term goals do you need in order to reach each of the expected events of your future?

STD’s: The Silent Epidemic

Asymptomatic- Means “Showing no signs of a disease or disorder even though an infection or disease is present”

Many people infected with an STD do not recognize that they are infected.

They do not get treatment, therefore the spread the disease.

It is said to be silent because people don’t often talk about STD’s. They are too embarrassed to talk to or see a doctor.

Teen Pregnancy

Many teenage pregnancies occur because teens think, “It won’t happen to me.”

But in fact it does happen to between 700,000 and 80,000 female teenagers each year.

This means that 1 in 10 female teens get pregnant each year.

Teen Pregnancy

Hard on mother’s health. Bones and muscles of teens are not ready

for the physical stresses of pregnancy. Teens are still developing physically Pregnant teens must eat well and get

adequate medical care in order to stay healthy and to increase their chances of delivering a healthy baby.

Otherwise, both the mother and the baby can have health problems.

Abstinence

Abstinence is the conscious decision not to participate in a behavior, and the skills to support that decision.

Abstinence eliminates the risks of teen sexual activity.

If you marry someone else who is abstinent until marriage this will eliminate the chance of getting STD’s also lowers the chances of you becoming a single parent.

Internal Pressures External Pressures

Coping with Pressure

You should commit not only to being abstinent but also to avoiding situations that could lead to sexual activity.

Tell your dating partner when you begin dating that you have made a commitment to remain sexually abstinent.

Identify situations that could lead to sexual activity

Avoid drinking alcohol or taking illegal drugs

Look for dating partners who share your values about abstinence.

UNIT 6Part 2: Male/Female Reproductive Systems

Key Terms- Male Reproductive System Sperm- the sex cell that is produced by the

testes and that is needed to fertilize an egg Egg- the sex cell that is produced by the ovaries

and that can be fertilized by sperm Fertilization- the process by which a sperm

and an egg and their genetic material join to create a new human life

Testis- the male reproductive organ that makes sperm and testosterone

Penis- the male organ that removes urine from the body and that can deliver sperm to the female

Semen- a fluid made up of sperm and other secretions

Male Reproductive System

The role- to produce sperm and deliver it to the female reproductive system

The penis deposits semen into the productive tract of a female to bring about fertilization of the egg.

The penis also provides a passage for urine to leave the body.

The testes are the primary organs of the male reproductive system. They produce both sperm and testosterone.

Keeping the male reproductive system healthy requires practicing good hygiene, being able to detect problems, and getting checkups each year.

Male Reproductive System

Jock Itch- fungal infection Bladder Infection Prostatitis- bacterial

infection Hernia- bulging of

intestines Testicular Torsion- twisting

of a testis Prostate Cancer- abnormal

cells in the prostate Testicular Cancer- abnormal

division of cells in the testes

Watch for any changes or symptoms

Abstinence Personal Hygiene Preventing trauma Monthly testicular

self-exam Doctor visits and

yearly check-ups

Problems that can occur: Preventing Problems

Key Terms: Female Reproductive System Ovary- the female reproductive organ that

produces eggs and the hormones estrogen and progesterone

Vagina- the female reproductive organ that connects the outside of the body to the uterus and that receives sperm during sexual intercourse

Fallopian Tube- the organ that transports an egg from the ovary to the uterus

Uterus- the organ that provides a place to support a developing human

Menstrual Cycle- a monthly series of hormone-controlled changes that prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy.

Female Reproductive System The Role- To make eggs and to provide a place

to support and nourish a developing baby. The ovaries are the primary organs of the

female reproductive system. The menstrual cycle functions to produce and

release a mature egg each month and to prepare a female’s body for pregnancy

Some problems include infections, menstrual cycle problems, and getting checkups each year

Keeping healthy involves practicing good hygiene, being able to detect problems, and getting checkups each year.

Female Reproductive System

Cystitis- inflammation Vaginitis- vaginal infection Delayed Puberty Menstrual cramps Premenstrual Syndrome- PMS Toxic Shock Syndrome-

poisoning of body from toxins Endometriosis- growth of

tissue outside of uterus Ovarian Cyst- failure to

release egg Cervical Cancer- abnormal

cells

Abstinence Practicing good

hygiene Avoid wearing panty

hose, tight jeans, wet clothes for long period of time

Yearly check-ups with the doctor.

Part 3: Pregnancy/ Early Development

Key Ideas

Describe how a human life begins Summarize how a baby develops during

the 3 trimesters of pregnancy Identify 5 things a couple can do to

stay healthy before and during pregnancy

Summarize 4 problems that can occur during pregnancy

Describe the stages of childbirth

Key Terms

Sexual Intercourse- the reproductive process in which the penis is inserted into the vagina and fertilization occurs.

Embryo- a developing human, from fertilization through the first 8 weeks of development

Placenta- a blood vessel rich organ that forms in a mother’s uterus and that provides nutrients and oxygen to and removes wastes from a developing human

Fetus- a developing human, from the start of the 9th week until delivery

Prenatal care- the healthcare provided for a woman during her pregnancy

How life begins

Once a sperm penetrates the egg, a chemical change prevents other sperm from entering the egg.

The genetic material of the egg and sperm combine to form 1 cell, called a zygote.

The zygote travels down the woman’s fallopian tube toward her uterus. The journey takes about 3 to 5 days.

As the zygote moves down the fallopian tube, it divides into 2 cells, then into 4 cells and then into a ball of many cells.

Con’t:

The Embryo implants in the uterus.

Once implantation of the embryo happens, the female is considered to be pregnant.

The uterus will be the embryo’s home until the baby is born

The baby’s growth in the uterus is dependent on a placenta.

If a mother eats, injects, or inhales anything harmful, her baby will be affected.

Implantation Placenta

How a Baby Develops

•The first 3 months•Major time of growth and change.•By the 4th week of development, the heart starts beating, arm and leg buds appear, and the eyes and brain begin to develop.•The embryo is less that a fourth of an inch long, or about the size of a BB pellet.•The umbilical cord is another new development. It connects the embryo to the placenta. •Brain waves can be detects by the 9th week. •By the end of the 1st trimester, all of the major body parts, such as the heart, brain, lungs, eyes, arms, and legs have formed.

Keeping healthy

1. Avoiding alcohol or other drugs, and exposure to cigarette smoke.

2. Maintain a nutritious diet that follows the My Pyramid food guidance system, and eat regular meals

3. Take a multivitamin, prenatal vitamins4. Get regular, moderate levels of exercise5. Have all medical conditions evaluated

by a doctor.

Problems during pregnancy:

1. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

2. Miscarriage3. Ectopic (tubal)

Pregnancy4. Toxemia5. Gestational

diabetes6. Rh incompatibility7. Premature Birth

1. A set of birth defects that affect a fetus that has been exposed to alcohol during pregnancy

2. Death of fetus from natural complications before the 20th week

3. Implantation of the fertilized egg in the fallopian tube.

4. Medical problem with unknown cause, but common in pregnant teens

5. Diabetes during pregnancy6. A condition in which mother’s

immune system reacts against the fetus’s blood due to an incompatibility in blood cell type.

7. Early birth due to an abnormal uterus, bleeding placenta, STD, multiple pregnancy, or other causes.

Stages of Birth

The uterus contracts, which causes the cervix to dilate or open up.

The water breaks- the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby is released out of the vagina.

The baby’s head begins to push into the birth canal.

The cervix and vagina have to dilate enough for the head and body of the baby to pass through it.

This stage ends when the cervix is fully dilated to 10 centimeters.

2nd stage: the baby’s head emerges fully and the shoulders rotate.

An episiotomy, a surgical incision of the outer end of the vagina to allow more room for delivery of the baby.

This stage ends with delivery of the baby

Dilation Stage Expulsion Stage

Stages of Birth/Types

Stage begins after the delivery of the baby and ends when the uterus expels the placental and the umbilical cord out of the mother’s body.

After the baby is born, the doctor suctions mucus from the baby’s mouth so the baby can breathe.

The umbilical cord is tied and cut.

The doctors check for problems with baby and mother.

Natural birth C-Section (Breech

Birth)

Placental Stage Types of childbirth
