The document provides information about the male and female reproductive systems. It discusses the external and internal structures of both systems and common disorders and conditions that can affect them. It emphasizes the importance of self-exams for early detection and treatment of issues like testicular cancer and breast cancer. Interactive elements like a testicular self-exam instructions and a reproductive system bingo game are also included to help engage students.

ejaculatory ducts
 Epididymis: organ where sperm matures
 Testicles: organ where sperm is created
 Urethra: tube that connects bladder to outside

 Step 5: Use the other hand to gently roll testicle
between thumb and index finger
Look for: Hard lumps, tenderness,
hardness of testicle or discharge of
the penis

11. Female Reproductive System

12. Female Reproductive System
External Structures
 Mons Pubis: soft mound of flesh above genitals
 Labia: lip-like structures on the outside of the
vagina
 Clitoris: sex organ whose sole function is pleasure

13. Female Reproductive System
Internal Structures
 Vagina: tract from uterus to exterior
 Hymen: mucous membrane around vaginal opening
 Cervix: lower, narrow portion of uterus
 Uterus: pear-shaped organ containing growing fetus
 Fallopian Tubes: pathway for egg travel during
ovulation
 Fimbriae: Fringes located at ends of fallopian tubes
 Ovaries: egg-producing organs

14. Female Disorders and Conditions
 Progressive infection—gets worse over time
 Affects fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix or ovaries
 Can lead to long term reproductive problems
 Symptoms include: foul-smelling discharge,
heavier than normal periods, painful urination

15. Female Disorders and Conditions
 Systemic illness: it affects the whole body
 TSS is NOT strictly linked to tampons
 Symptoms include: high fever, rapid drop
in blood pressure, sun burn like rash,
