The Essence of Sex
_________________________
- Reproduction
One property of a living thing
Great variety of methods
- Sexual reproduction
Each offspring has 2 parents and receives genetic material from both
Provides genetic diversity
Foundation for survival and evolution of species

Anatomy of Ovary
*

- 10 cm long, muscular tube lined with ciliated cells
- Major portions
Narrow isthmus near uterus
Body (ampulla): middle portion
Flares distally into infundibulum
with fimbriae
- Enclosed in superior
margin of broad
ligament (mesosalpinx)

Pregnancy and Childbirth
- Gestation (pregnancy)
Lasts an average of 266 days from conception to childbirth
Gestational calendar measured from first day of the woman’s last menstrual period (LMP)
- Birth is predicted 280 days from LMP
The duration of pregnancy is described in 3 three month intervals called trimesters

Pain of Labor
_________________________
Ischemia of myometrium – muscle hurts when deprived of blood as each labor contraction restricts uritine circulation
Stretching of cervix, vagina and perineum
Episiotomy (incision of vulva to widen vagina) to prevent random tearing of vagina tissue
Large fetal head in a narrow pelvic outlet
*
28-*
Stages of Labor -- Early Dilation
- Widening of cervical canal by effacement (thinning) of cervix to reach 10 cm -- diameter of fetal head
- Rupture of fetal membranes and loss of amniotic fluid
*
28-*
Stages of Labor -- Late Dilation
Dilation reaches 10 cm in 24 hours or less in primipara (first baby) and in as little as few minutes in multipara
*
28-*
Stages of Labor -- Expulsion
- Time baby’s head enters vagina until delivery
30 to 60 minutes in primipara and about a minute in multipara
- Valsalva maneuver helps to expel fetus

Breasts
_________________________
- Overlies pectoralis major
Conical body, nipple at apex
Axillary tail contains many lymphatic vessels
- Nipple surrounded by areola
Dermal blood vessels closer to surface
Melanocytes darken during pregnancy
Smooth muscle contracts wrinkling skin and erecting nipple in response to cold, touch and arousal
- Suspensory ligaments from skin, muscle
- Nonlactating breast has little glandular tissue

Breast Cancer
_________________________
- 1 out of 8 American women
- Tumors begin with cells from mammary ducts
May metastasize by lymphatics
- Symptoms may include palpable lump, skin puckering, skin texture and drainage from nipple
- Most breast cancer is nonhereditary
Some stimulated by estrogen
- Risk factors include
Aging, ionizing radiation, carcinogenic chemicals, alcohol, smoking and fat intake
70% of cases may have no risk factors
*

Breast Cancer Treatment
_________________________
- Lupectomy – removal of tumor only
- Mastectomy – removal of tumor and breast tissue
- Radial mastectomy – removal of breast plus underlying muscle, fascia and lymph nodes
- Surgery is followed with chemotherapy
- A natural looking breast can be constructed from skin, fat and muscles from other parts of the body
