LET’S PLAY!
 During the first month of pregnancy for a
female, the offspring has already developed its
reproductive organs.

 XY chromosome for male and XX chromosome

for female

 Gonads is the reproductive glands that produce

gametes
 Males have testes, and females have
ovaries.

 Menarche is the second menstrual period

of females.

 Neoplasms are a major threat to

reproductive organs.
 Most women hit the highest point of their
reproductive abilities during their early 20s.

 Hormones play an important role in the regulation of

ovulation.

 Infections are the most common problems associated

with the reproductive system of adults.
 Changes that happen during puberty may vary
depending on the individual's sex.

 A genetic female may be exposed to

testosterone.

 After menopause, the production of estrogen

will not continue.
 Solitary behavior involves only one individual.

 Changes that happen during puberty may vary

depending on the individual's sex.

 Solitary behavior involves more than one

person.
 CHAPTER II
UNPACKING THE SELF
Lesson 1: The Physical and
Sexual Self
OBJECTIVES
discuss the developmental aspect of the
reproductive system

describe the erogenous zones

explain human sexual behavior

characterize the diversity of sexual behavior

How does our reproductive system develop?

Formation of gonads

Formation of primary reproductive structures

Development of the accessory structure and external

genitalia
When will abnormalities occur?

 A genetic male develops the

female accessory structures
and external genitalia if the
embryonic testes fail to
produce testosterone.
When will abnormalities occur?
 A genetic female is exposed to
testosterone, the embryo has
ovaries but may develop male
accessory ducts and glands, as
well as male reproductive organ
and an empty scrotum.
What is PSEUDOHERMAPHRODITES?
 are formed who are individuals having
accessory reproductive structures that
do not “match” their gonads
What is HERMAPHRODITES?
 are individuals who possess
both ovarian and testicular
tissues but this condition is
rare in nature
What is CRYPTORCHIDISM?

 a condition usually occurs in young

males and causes sterility
When will congenital defects of the reproductive
system occur?

 abnormal
separation of
chromosomes
during meiosis

Answer
PUBERTY
 What is PUBERTY?
 A period of life, generally between the ages of
10 to 15 years old.
 Puberty begins at the age of 13 for males and at
the age of 11 for females.
 It causes physical changes, and affects males
and females differently.
 Diseases Associated
with the Reproductive
System
For MALES:
1. Inflammatory Conditions
a. Prostatitis
 a disorder of the prostate gland
usually associated with
inflammation
b. Urethritis
 an inflammation (swelling and irritation) of
the urethra, the tube that takes urine (pee)
from your bladder to the outside of your
body.
c. Epididymitis

 an inflammation of the coiled tube,

called the epididymis, at the back of
the testicle
 d. Orchiditis

 an inflammation of the testes, is

rather uncommon but is serious
because it can cause sterility.
2. Cancer
a. Prostate Cancer
 cancer that occurs in the prostate
 prostate is a small walnut-shaped gland
in males that produces the seminal fluid
that nourishes and transports sperm.
 b. Testicular Cancer
a growth of cells that starts in the
testicles
For FEMALES:
1. Vaginal Infections
 more common in young and
elderly women and in those
whose resistance to diseases is
low
2. Cancer
a. Breast Cancer
 cancer that forms in the cells of
the breasts
b. Cervix Cancer

 a growth of cells that starts in the

cervix

Answer
MENOPAUSE
A natural biological
process when females
no longer experience
menstruation

Answer

MENOPAUSE
 What is menopause?
 a natural biological process when females
no longer experience menstruation
 when ovulation and menses stop entirely,
ending childbearing ability
Menopause
 there is no counterpart for menopause
in males
 the reproductive activity of men seems
unending
 Erogenous Zones
 refer to parts of the body that are primarily
receptive and increase sexual arousal when
touched
 this may vary from one person to another
 Human Sexual Behavior
 define as any activity – solitary,
between two persons, or in a
group- that includes sexual
arousal
 Human Sexual Behavior
 Two major factors that determine human
sexual behavior: the inherited sexual
response patterns and the degree of
restraints
Types of Behavior
1. Solitary Behavior
 involves only one individual

• Self-gratification
 means self-simulation that leads to sexual
arousal and generally sexual climax
 takes place in private as an end in itself, but also
can be done in a sociosexual relationship
2. Sociosexual Behavior

involves more than one person

Heterosexual Homosexual
Behavior Behavior
(male with male or female
(male with female)
with female)
 2. Sociosexual Behavior
 heterosexual behavior is the greatest
amount of sociosexual behavior

• Petting
 an ingredient of the learning process
 may be done as an expression of
affection and a source of pleasure,
preliminary to coitus.
 What is COITUS?
 the intersection of male reproductive
structure into the female reproductive organ
 can be premarital coitus, extramarital coitus
and post-marital coitus
