CHAPTER 3: FEMALE SEXUAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
![Page 3: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Gynecological Health Concerns• Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) or
oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries)– Used in cases of cancer of the cervix, uterus or ovaries– Hysterectomy is most frequently performed U.S.
operation (33% of women undergo by age 65)– Also used to treat fibroids (non-cancerous growths),
endometriosis, pelvic pain, and irregular bleeding – Hysterectomy may decrease sexual response in many
women; oophorectomy induces the same hormonal changes associated with menopause unless replacement hormones are taken
– More common in poor and less educated women

THE BREASTS
![Page 5: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Breasts
• Breasts are a secondary sex characteristic: something other than genitals that distinguishes men and women
• Mammary glands produce milk after pregnancy
• Areola is darker area• Nipple is in center of
areola & has openings for milk
![Page 6: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Breast Health Problems
• Breast Lumps: can be detected by self exam– Cysts (fluid-filled sacs)– Fibroadenomas (solid, round, benign tumors)– Malignant tumor
• Breast cancer– Treatments: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation– Risk factors: age, hormones, smoking, family history– Reconstructive breast surgery– Early detection & treatment boosts survival

CHAPTER 4 MALE SEXUAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
![Page 9: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Male genitalia are as diverse as female genitalia
![Page 10: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Penis
• Consists of nerves, blood vessels, fibrous tissue & spongy tissue; no bones!
• Interior portion of the penis is the root
• Head of the penis is called the glans; this is surrounded by a ridge called the corona
• Remainder of penis is the shaft
![Page 11: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Penis• Like the vagina, the penis
has 3 layers of tissue: 2 cavernous bodies, and 1 spongy body
• These fill with blood during sexual excitation, creating an erection
![Page 12: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The foreskin & circumcision• The glans of the penis is
covered by a loose layer of skin called the foreskin
• Some cultures practice removal of the foreskin, usually in infant boys
![Page 13: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Circumcision for health?• 1971: American Academy of
Pediatrics states that there is no medical benefit to circumcision
• 1989: AAP states that there are “potential benefits”
• 1999: AAP states that there are “insufficient data” to recommend circumcision
• 2012: AAP states that the health benefits of circumcision outweigh the risks
![Page 14: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Circumcision: pros and consCons:• Complications can arise (rare)• Foreskin removal may cause trauma from pain• Reduced sexual enjoyment (?-controversial)• Cannot be easily reversedPros:• Circumcision reduces rates of sexually transmitted diseases,
including HIV• Also reduces risk of urinary tract and bladder infections, and
of cancerFor many parents, medical concerns are secondary to religious/cultural or appearance concerns
![Page 15: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The scrotum• Scrotum: pouch with two
chambers for each of two testicles or testes
• Has two layers:– skin layer: skin is darker
than on rest of body and becomes covered with hair at puberty; analogous to labia majora in women
– tunica dartos: muscle layer• Pulls sac closer to body
in cold temperatures
![Page 16: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The scrotum and testes• Testes are the equivalent of
the ovaries in females• Make sperm and also
testosterone and other hormones
• Spermatic cord holds each testis
• Also contains the vas deferens, which delivers sperm from the testes to the penis (a vasectomy is surgical closing off of the vas deferens)
![Page 17: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The testes• Male gonads (testes) are
outside the body unlike female gonads (ovaries)
• This is true for most but not all mammals
• Sperm survive yet at a temp slightly cooler than body temperature
![Page 18: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Castration• Castration: surgical removal of the testes;
drastically decreases testosterone and male sexual behavior; destroys fertility
• Eunuchs: men or boys who have undergone castration
• Castration has been used as punishment; many cultures have castrated slaves or servants
• Castration before puberty was used until the 19th century in Europe to preserve the singing voices of boys; some boys’ voices still underwent changes
![Page 19: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The testes: function
• Seminiferous tubules: site of sperm production
• Sperm travel from there to the epididymis, where they are stored
• Interstitial cells between seminiferous tubules make most of the body’s testosterone
![Page 20: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Testicular problems: Cryptorchidism
• In male fetuses, testes develop inside the abdominal cavity and usually descend into the scrotum by birth
• Cryptorchidism: failure of the testes to descend; affects 3–5% of male infants
• Can result in infertility and increased risk of cancer, but can be treated very effectively with hormones and/or surgery
![Page 21: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Testicular problems: testicular cancer• Most common cancer in
males age 20–35• Accounts for 1–2% of all
cancers in males• Risk factors include smoking,
family history, white race, and cryptorchidism
• Usually shows up as a mass in one testicle, can be detected by male genital self-exam (described in book)
• Early detection results in greater than 90% survival
![Page 22: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The prostate• The prostate makes seminal
fluid, the fluid in which sperm leave the body
• Seminal fluid + sperm = semen
• 50% of men over age 60 and 90% of men over age 90 experience benign prostatic hyperplasia or an enlarged prostate
• This can cause urinary issues!
![Page 23: Bio 27: September 12, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568166b3550346895ddab757/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Prostate cancer• Second most common cancer in American
males (after skin cancer)• Risk factors are: old age, family history, high-
fat diet, African-American race• 218,000 U.S. men are diagnosed each year
and 28,000 U.S. men die from it each year• Can be detected with a blood test (somewhat
controversial) or with a physical examination (digital rectal examination)
