   • adolescence
     • prepare the individual to develop their sexuality and makes them capable of reproducing.
   • end of reproductive life
     • menopause (women), andropause (men)

2. THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

   • male reproductive system
     • testicles
       • produce male gametes (sperm)
     • repoductive tract
       • ducts that collect sperm and carry them to the exterior
         • epididymis
         • ductus deferens
         • urethra
     • penis
       • male copulatory organ
     • accesory glands
       • form semen/facilitate penetration
         • seminal vesicles
         • prostate
         • cowper glands
   • female reproductive system
     • ovaries
       • produce female gametes (ova)
     • reproductive tract
       • organs involved in fertilisation and gestation
         • fallopian tubes
           • collect the ovum released by ovaries
           • where fertilisation occurs
         • uterus
           • where the gestation of a new human being takes place
         • vagina
           • sperm are placed here during sexual intercourse
         • vulva
           • female external genital organ

3. STAGES OF REPRODUCTION

   • gametogenesis
     • oogenesis
     • spermatogenesis
   • ovarian cycle
     • follicular phase
     • ovulation
     • secretory phase
   • uterine/menstrual cycle
     • menstrual phase/period
     • proliferation phase
     • secretory phase
   • fertilisation
     • it takes place in the fallopian tubes
   • gestation
     • the time that occurs between fertilisation and birth (aproximately 40 weeks)
   • birth
     • the release of the fetus

4. CONTRACEPTIVE METHODS

   • natural
     • basal temperature
     • ogino
     • billings method
     • sympto-thermal
     • coitus interruptus
   • artificial
     • barrier
       • male condom
       • female condom
       • diaphragm
       • IUD (intrauterine device)

       • hormone contraceptives
       • morning-after pill
       • 5 day morning after pill
     • surgical
       • tubal ligation
       • vasectomy

5. ASSISTED REPRODUCTION

   • artificial insemination
   • IVF
   • gamete intra fallopian transfer
   • intra cytoplasmic sperm injection
   • ooplasmic transfer

6. HEALTHY HABITS

   • good higiene, self-observation, medical assistance (when necessary)

7. SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES

   • syphilis
   • gonorrhea
   • AIDS
   • hepatitis B
   • genital herpes
