Sexually transmitted diseases
Real Life Activity
Draw a line lengthwise across the paper to represent your life.
Draw marks every inch along the line. Write ‘0’ at the left end of the line to show your
birth. Label the first mark “10 years.” Label each mark after that in 10-year increments.
Use an to mark the point that shows your current age.
Draw marks at 4 points that show important events in your life so far.
Draw marks at 4 points that show important events you want to have in your life after today.
What now?
What future events did you mark? What things could change the expected
future? How might becoming a single teen
parent change the expected events of your future?
What short-term goals do you need in order to reach each of the expected events of your future?
STD’s: The Silent Epidemic
Asymptomatic- Means “Showing no signs of a disease or disorder even though an infection or disease is present”
Many people infected with an STD do not recognize that they are infected.
They do not get treatment, therefore the spread the disease.
It is said to be silent because people don’t often talk about STD’s. They are too embarrassed to talk to or see a doctor.
Teen Pregnancy
Many teenage pregnancies occur because teens think, “It won’t happen to me.”
But in fact it does happen to between 700,000 and 80,000 female teenagers each year.
This means that 1 in 10 female teens get pregnant each year.
Teen Pregnancy
Hard on mother’s health. Bones and muscles of teens are not ready
for the physical stresses of pregnancy. Teens are still developing physically Pregnant teens must eat well and get
adequate medical care in order to stay healthy and to increase their chances of delivering a healthy baby.
Otherwise, both the mother and the baby can have health problems.
Abstinence
Abstinence is the conscious decision not to participate in a behavior, and the skills to support that decision.
Abstinence eliminates the risks of teen sexual activity.
If you marry someone else who is abstinent until marriage this will eliminate the chance of getting STD’s also lowers the chances of you becoming a single parent.

Social Benefits: Emotional Benefits:
Coping with Pressures
An impulse a person feels to engage in a behavior.
All of us have an instinctual interest in sexual activity because sex is necessary for reproduction and the survival of humanity.
We must learn self-control.
The pressure a person feels from another person or from a group of people to engage in a behavior.
Pressure of BF/GF, media, your peers.
Must hold strong to personal beliefs and values.
Internal Pressures External Pressures
Coping with Pressure
You should commit not only to being abstinent but also to avoiding situations that could lead to sexual activity.
Tell your dating partner when you begin dating that you have made a commitment to remain sexually abstinent.
Identify situations that could lead to sexual activity
Avoid drinking alcohol or taking illegal drugs
Look for dating partners who share your values about abstinence.
Setting Personal Limits Avoiding Pressure Situations

UNIT 6Part 2: Male/Female Reproductive Systems
Key Terms- Male Reproductive System Sperm- the sex cell that is produced by the
testes and that is needed to fertilize an egg Egg- the sex cell that is produced by the ovaries
and that can be fertilized by sperm Fertilization- the process by which a sperm
and an egg and their genetic material join to create a new human life
Testis- the male reproductive organ that makes sperm and testosterone
Penis- the male organ that removes urine from the body and that can deliver sperm to the female
Semen- a fluid made up of sperm and other secretions
Male Reproductive System
The role- to produce sperm and deliver it to the female reproductive system
The penis deposits semen into the productive tract of a female to bring about fertilization of the egg.
The penis also provides a passage for urine to leave the body.
The testes are the primary organs of the male reproductive system. They produce both sperm and testosterone.
Keeping the male reproductive system healthy requires practicing good hygiene, being able to detect problems, and getting checkups each year.
Male Reproductive System
Jock Itch- fungal infection Bladder Infection Prostatitis- bacterial
infection Hernia- bulging of
intestines Testicular Torsion- twisting
of a testis Prostate Cancer- abnormal
cells in the prostate Testicular Cancer- abnormal
division of cells in the testes
Watch for any changes or symptoms
Abstinence Personal Hygiene Preventing trauma Monthly testicular
self-exam Doctor visits and
yearly check-ups
Problems that can occur: Preventing Problems
Key Terms: Female Reproductive System Ovary- the female reproductive organ that
produces eggs and the hormones estrogen and progesterone
Vagina- the female reproductive organ that connects the outside of the body to the uterus and that receives sperm during sexual intercourse
Fallopian Tube- the organ that transports an egg from the ovary to the uterus
Uterus- the organ that provides a place to support a developing human
Menstrual Cycle- a monthly series of hormone-controlled changes that prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy.
Female Reproductive System The Role- To make eggs and to provide a place
to support and nourish a developing baby. The ovaries are the primary organs of the
female reproductive system. The menstrual cycle functions to produce and
release a mature egg each month and to prepare a female’s body for pregnancy
Some problems include infections, menstrual cycle problems, and getting checkups each year
Keeping healthy involves practicing good hygiene, being able to detect problems, and getting checkups each year.
Female Reproductive System
Cystitis- inflammation Vaginitis- vaginal infection Delayed Puberty Menstrual cramps Premenstrual Syndrome- PMS Toxic Shock Syndrome-
poisoning of body from toxins Endometriosis- growth of
tissue outside of uterus Ovarian Cyst- failure to
release egg Cervical Cancer- abnormal
cells
Abstinence Practicing good
hygiene Avoid wearing panty
hose, tight jeans, wet clothes for long period of time
Yearly check-ups with the doctor.

Part 3: Pregnancy/ Early Development
Key Ideas
Describe how a human life begins Summarize how a baby develops during
the 3 trimesters of pregnancy Identify 5 things a couple can do to
stay healthy before and during pregnancy
Summarize 4 problems that can occur during pregnancy
Describe the stages of childbirth
Key Terms
Sexual Intercourse- the reproductive process in which the penis is inserted into the vagina and fertilization occurs.
Embryo- a developing human, from fertilization through the first 8 weeks of development
Placenta- a blood vessel rich organ that forms in a mother’s uterus and that provides nutrients and oxygen to and removes wastes from a developing human
Fetus- a developing human, from the start of the 9th week until delivery
Prenatal care- the healthcare provided for a woman during her pregnancy
How life begins
Once a sperm penetrates the egg, a chemical change prevents other sperm from entering the egg.
The genetic material of the egg and sperm combine to form 1 cell, called a zygote.
The zygote travels down the woman’s fallopian tube toward her uterus. The journey takes about 3 to 5 days.
As the zygote moves down the fallopian tube, it divides into 2 cells, then into 4 cells and then into a ball of many cells.
Con’t:
The Embryo implants in the uterus.
Once implantation of the embryo happens, the female is considered to be pregnant.
The uterus will be the embryo’s home until the baby is born
The baby’s growth in the uterus is dependent on a placenta.
If a mother eats, injects, or inhales anything harmful, her baby will be affected.
Implantation Placenta
How a Baby Develops
•The first 3 months•Major time of growth and change.•By the 4th week of development, the heart starts beating, arm and leg buds appear, and the eyes and brain begin to develop.•The embryo is less that a fourth of an inch long, or about the size of a BB pellet.•The umbilical cord is another new development. It connects the embryo to the placenta. •Brain waves can be detects by the 9th week. •By the end of the 1st trimester, all of the major body parts, such as the heart, brain, lungs, eyes, arms, and legs have formed.
Keeping healthy
1. Avoiding alcohol or other drugs, and exposure to cigarette smoke.
2. Maintain a nutritious diet that follows the My Pyramid food guidance system, and eat regular meals
3. Take a multivitamin, prenatal vitamins4. Get regular, moderate levels of exercise5. Have all medical conditions evaluated
by a doctor.
Problems during pregnancy:
1. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
2. Miscarriage3. Ectopic (tubal)
Pregnancy4. Toxemia5. Gestational
diabetes6. Rh incompatibility7. Premature Birth
1. A set of birth defects that affect a fetus that has been exposed to alcohol during pregnancy
2. Death of fetus from natural complications before the 20th week
3. Implantation of the fertilized egg in the fallopian tube.
4. Medical problem with unknown cause, but common in pregnant teens
5. Diabetes during pregnancy6. A condition in which mother’s
immune system reacts against the fetus’s blood due to an incompatibility in blood cell type.
7. Early birth due to an abnormal uterus, bleeding placenta, STD, multiple pregnancy, or other causes.
Stages of Birth
The uterus contracts, which causes the cervix to dilate or open up.
The water breaks- the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby is released out of the vagina.
The baby’s head begins to push into the birth canal.
The cervix and vagina have to dilate enough for the head and body of the baby to pass through it.
This stage ends when the cervix is fully dilated to 10 centimeters.
2nd stage: the baby’s head emerges fully and the shoulders rotate.
An episiotomy, a surgical incision of the outer end of the vagina to allow more room for delivery of the baby.
This stage ends with delivery of the baby
Dilation Stage Expulsion Stage
Stages of Birth/Types
Stage begins after the delivery of the baby and ends when the uterus expels the placental and the umbilical cord out of the mother’s body.
After the baby is born, the doctor suctions mucus from the baby’s mouth so the baby can breathe.
The umbilical cord is tied and cut.
The doctors check for problems with baby and mother.
Natural birth C-Section (Breech
Birth)
Placental Stage Types of childbirth
