Male and Female Anatomy

3. FERTILIZATION / Conception
The end purpose for the ova and the sperm
When the sperm penetrates the surface of the ova and enters inside.
The 23 chromosomes from each sex cell combine and begin to multiply to begin to form a new human being!!!

4. The Menstrual Cycle During Menstruation Days 1-5
Menstruation occurs and the lining of the uterus, with a small amount of blood, leaves the body. At this time, another egg is maturing in the ovary.

5. The Menstrual Cycle After Menstruation Days 6-15
The lining of the uterus repairs itself and once again prepares for a fertilized egg. Around days an egg is released from an ovary. This is called OVULATION

6. Before Menstruation Days 16-28
If the egg is fertilized by the male sperm cell, it embeds itself in the wall of the uterus (endometrium lining). If the egg is not fertilized, the blood vessels in the wall of the uterus shrinks and breaks down. The menstruation cycle begins again.

12. Swimming for your life
A sperm is a tiny package with a big responsibility – to fertilize the egg and create a human life. So that tiny package is loaded with “gear” for its important journey.
A few facts:
Daily sperm production by a healthy man:
100 million to 250 million
Contents of average ejaculation:
100 million sperm; 50 million moving; 50 million deformed
Maturation: 72 hours
Average swimming speed of a sperm:
8 inches per hour

13. Timelines
Female Time Line: Ages 9-12 Secondary sex characteristics appear Ages Menstrual cycle begins Late 20-30’s Peak sexual urges Ages menopause (cycle stops, but sex urge continues)
Male Time Line: Infancy Erections begin Ages Secondary sex characteristics appear Ages Sperm produced in adult amounts (puberty) Late teens Peak sexual urges for boys Throughout life If good health is present, there is the sex urge and ability to father children.

14. Female Reproductive System
Female reproductive organs are for
intercourse, reproduction, urination
pregnancy and childbirth. 14

16. FERTILIZATION / Conception
The end purpose for the ova and the sperm
When the sperm penetrates the surface of the ova and enters inside.

17. Menstrual Cycle Day 1 – Menstruation begins (bleeding)
Day 1-5 – Bleeding Continues
Day Ovum is maturing and endometrium lining is thin
Day 10 – 14 - Endometrium lining thickens and hormones rise.
Around Day 14 – Ovum bursts out of the ovary
Day 15 – After 24 hours the egg is done
Day – Egg travels down to thickened lining and either is implanted or it dissolves or passes naturally
Day 26 – In the absence of fertilization, hormone levels drop and the endometrium lining breaks down
Day 28 – Menstruation prepares to begin again. 17
