THE HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
 HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
The human race continues to survive because of
people’s ability to reproduce, which is made
possible by human reproductive system.
Individuals engage in sexual intercourse to bear
offspring.
However, this has changed over time because of
social changes and the way people react to and
think about individuality.
 HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Male Reproductive System
Penis
Primary male reproductive organ for penetration during
sexual contact.
Testes
The primary male reproductive structure that supplies
sperm and testosterone
 HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Male Reproductive System
Scrotum
Holds the testes; it helps control the eternal temperature
to be lesser than the internal temperature, which is
important for proper sperm development.
Vas Deference
Serves as the passage for the sperm to travel from the
epididymis to the urethra.
 HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Male Reproductive System
Seminal Vesicles
Produces fluid that nurtures and gives energy to sperms
cells.

Prostate Gland
Produces milky saline fluid, which increases sperm
mobility.
 HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Female Reproductive System
Vagina
Serves as an opening of the uterus.
Uterus
Also called the womb, it nurtures female gametes after
fertilization.
Fallopian Tubes
It helps deliver egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus
and facilitates the fertilization process.
 HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Female Reproductive System
Ovaries
Female main reproductive structures that produce
gametes, estrogen, and progesterone.
Cervix
Allows the flow of menstrual blood and directs the sperm
into the uterus during copulation.
PHASES OF THE HUMAN SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE
 PHASES OF THE HUMAN
SEXUAL RESPONSE CYCLE

This cycle shows the changes in both physical and emotional

aspects of the person during sexual activity, which was first
introduced by William Masters and Virginia. Johnson in 1966.
PHASE 1:
EXCITEMENT
a. Desire Phase sexual fantasies trigger sexual urges.
b. Arousal Stage stimulation of sexual pleasure and physiological signs may include:

In males, penile tumescene (increased flow of blood into the penis)

In females, release lubrication (vaso congestion) and nipples erect (breast
tumescene) during this stage.
PHASE 2:
PLATEAU
This stage is characterized by rapid breathing. The penis
grows in size and the testes enlarge, while the outer
vagina contracts and the clitoris retracts for females.
PHASE 3:
ORGASM
The climax of the sexual activity.
Males experience the inevitability of ejaculation.
Vagina contracts for females.
PHASE 4:
RESOLUTION
Sexual drive slows down usually for men after
ejaculation.
Refractory period a recovery time to be sexually ready
again.
THE DIVERSITY OF HUMAN SEXUALITY
 DIVERSITY OF HUMAN SEXUALITY
The world in which we now live offers flexible ideas of gender and identity.
We do not anymore live in a binary male-female only world.
This tradition or belief is now being challenged to pave the way for incusivity.
For a very long time, the terms “gender” and “sex” were used interchangeably.
But, that is no longer the case.
It is given at birth.
In contrast, gender is a social concept.
It is a social construct that deals with masculinity and femininity.
Sexuality is the human expression of one’s sexual desires, thoughts, feelings,
and emotions toward other people.
Basically, its main function is human propagation.
 DIVERSITY OF HUMAN SEXUALITY
However, because of social changes, human sexuality becomes more complex.
It is not just aboout what you do, rather, it is about who you are.

Sensuality
Your consciousness, acceptance, and enjoyment of your own and other’s body.
Body image and Fantasy.

intimacy
Your experience of being close to someone.
Caring and loving.
Self-disclosure Trust.
 DIVERSITY OF HUMAN SEXUALITY
Sexual identity
How you perceive yourself as a sexual being
Biological sex
Gender Identity
Gender role
Sexual orientation
Sexual health and reproduction
Your attitude and behavior are related to sexual health and the reproductive
system, the consequences of sexual behaviors, hygiene, etc.
Sexually transmitted infections
Contraception Abortion
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
(STD)
 SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STD)
These are infections that are transmitted from one person to another
when people engage in unprotected and risky sexual activities.
These can be caused by pathogens, parasites, yeast, and viral infections.

Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections

ABSTINENCE
Abstinence means not engaging in any sexual activity. It is
considered the most practical end effective way to avoid acquiring
these STDs.
MONOGAMY
Engaging in sexual activities with only one person is what is meant
by monogamy. Establishing a long-term monogamous relationship
with an uninfected partner can certainly keep you safe from
infection.
 SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STD)

Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections

VACCINATIONS
Vaccines to prevent infections are safe and highly recommended.

CHECK FOR INFECTIONS

Put yourself to the test. Early detection is better when there is no
prevention. Many STDs can be easily diagnosed and treated.
CONTRACEPTION
 CONTRACEPTION
These are natural and artificial methods and
devices used to prevent or avoid pregnancy by
interfering with the normal process of
fertilization.
 CONTRACEPTION
Natural Methods
Calendar Method
-It helps you monitor and predict your fertility by nothing the length of
your menstrual cycle every month.

Temperature Method
-This method traces the changes in the body temperature to determine
the ovulation period.
Cervical Mucus Method
-It helps to monitor the changes in vaginal, discharge or cervical mucus
to determine the ovulation period.
 CONTRACEPTION
Natural Methods

Withdrawal
-Withdrawal is the practice of withdrawing the penis away from the vagina when
it’s about to ejaculate to prevent sperm from entering the vagina to avoid
pregnancy.
 CONTRACEPTION
Hormonal Methods

Injection or “Shot”
-Progestin is injected into a woman’s buttocks or arm every three months.
Pill
-It is a medicine that is taken orally by women to prevent pregnancy.
-Patch
-It is worn on the lower abdomen or buttocks.

Vaginal Ring
-This is placed inside the vagina.
 CONTRACEPTION
Barrier Methods
Diaphgram or Cervical Cap
-It works by providing a barrier inside the vagina that blocks sperm cells from
entering the cervix. In order to lessen the likelihood of becoming pregnant, it is
critical to first kill the sperm by treating them with spermicide.

Sponge
-It works just like the cervical cap, but the method of using it differs. After sexual
intercourse, it should not be removed for six hours.
 CONTRACEPTION
Barrier Methods
Male condom
-It prevents sperm cells from entering the vagina. It has different sizes and flavors.
Female condom
-It helps blocks sperm cells from entering the women’s bodies.

Spermicides
-Kills sperm cells, it can come in various froms like gel, foam, etc.
 CONTRACEPTION
Permanent/Surgical Methods

Female Sterilization-ligation or “typing tubes” fallopian tubes are tied to

prevent sperm and eggs fom meeting and being fertilized. This method is
permanent.
Male Sterilization/ Vasectomy the vas deferens is cut and tied to prevent
sperm during ejaculation, thus making egg fertilization and pregnancy
impossible. This method is also permanent.
There’s no perfect birth control method that works
REMEMBER!!! 100%, only abstinence can prevent both pregnancy
ad STIs. Each has its own proc and cons.
REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY
 REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Contemporary science and technological advancements have
paved the way for new methods of parenting.
Reproductive Technology has been used widely in recent years.

Artificial Insemination

Fertilization is aided by placing the semen inside a syringe that is

connected to a catheter that is inserted inside the uterus to facilitate
pregnancy.
 REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Contemporary science and technological advancements have
paved the way for new methods of parenting.
Reproductive Technology has been used widely in recent years.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Fertilization happens outside a woman’s body, usually in a laboratory

using a test tube. Thus, offspring from IVF are sometimes referred to as
“test tubes babies”.
