The document discusses a health teacher's plans for teaching a unit on human sexuality and reproductive systems, including studying male and female anatomy, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and abstinence; it provides ground rules for the unit and an overview of what topics will be covered each day.
Students be able to identify the various structures of the male reproductive systems and state their functions;
Students be able to identify the various structures of the female reproductive systems and state their functions
Reproduction is the process that continues life on Earth
Males and females each have structures specialized for their roles in reproduction.
Hormones are the key to how the human reproductive system functions,
Sex hormones are necessary for the development of sexual characteristics, such as breast development in females and facial hair growth in males.
Hormones from the pituitary gland also begin the production of eggs in females and sperm in males. Eggs and sperm transfer hereditary information from one generation to the next.

Structure and functions of the female reproductive system
Process of menstrual cycle, reproduction and menopause
Structure and functions of breasts
Structure and functions of the male reproductive system
Reproductive health
Reproductive system:
The organs involved in producing offspring (a person's child or children).
In women, this system includes the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, and the vagina.
In men, it includes the prostate, the testes, and the penis.
The female reproductive system
The female reproductive system plays many vital functions that ensure the continuation of the human race
Located in the pelvic cavity
Parts:
It consist of
External genitalia
Internal genitalia
External genitalia:
Labia minora
Labia majora
Clitoris
Vaginal orifice
Internal genitalia:
Ovaries
Fallopian tubes
Uterus
Vagina
Vagina:
A muscular tube, that extends from the cervix of the uterus to the outside of the body.
During intercourse, the vagina receives the male’s penis and semen.
Birth canal that the baby passes through in a normal delivery.
Ovaries:
Small almond-shaped glands that produce ova and the female sex hormones located on both sides of the uterus within the pelvic cavity.
In charge of ovulation and producing the female sex hormones.
The hormones are responsible for getting the lining of the uterus prepared for a fertilized ovum
Uterus:
Hollow organ (also called womb)
Fetus (unborn baby) develops and grows.
Contractions to the walls propels the baby during delivery through the birth canal in a normal delivery
Parts: fundus, body & cervix
The fundus is the broad curved upper area in which the fallopian tubes connect to the uterus;
The body, the main part of the uterus,
The cervix, extends downward and opens into the vagina.
Uterus has 3 layers:
The endometrium is the inner layer
The myometrium is the middle layer
The perimetrium is the outer layer
Function of uterus:
The uterus receives a fertilized egg and protects the fetus (baby) while it grows and develops.
The uterus contracts to push the baby out of the body during birth.
Every month, except when a woman is pregnant, the lining of the uterus grows and thickens in preparation for pregnancy.
If the woman doesn’t get pregnant, the lining is shed through the cervix into the vagina and out of the body. This is called menstruation.
The function of the female reproductive System:
The female reproductive system produces ova (the female reproductive cell)
Provides a location for fertilization
Growth of a fetus
Secretes female sex hormones
The breast produce milk to nourish the newborn.
Menstruation:
Menstruation, or period, is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman's monthly cycle.
Every month, your body prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus. It passes out of the body through the vagina.
Menstrual cycle:

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. The United States has one
of the highest teen
pregnancy rates in the
western industrialized
world!
8. Why do teenagers get pregnant?
• not thinking
• getting caught up in the moment -hormones
• believing they couldn’t get pregnant
• being drunk
• feeling pressured to have unprotected sex
• being too embarrassed to ask a partner to
use contraception
• curiosity
• think everyone else is “doing it”
• culture: tells us the decision to have sex is
NOT a big deal…it is a BIG deal
9. • 3 in 10 teen American girls will get
pregnant at least once before age 20.
That’s nearly 750,000 teen pregnancies
every year.
• Parenthood is the leading reason that teen
girls drop out of school. More than 50% of
teen mothers never graduate from high
school.
• About 25% of teen moms have a 2nd child
within 24 months of their first baby.
• Less than 2% of teen moms earn a college
degree by age 30.
10. How do the male and female
reproductive systems differ?
• Males have external organs, females
have internal organs
• Male sperm production begins at
puberty, females are born with ova
• Males produce millions of sperm,
females release one ovum each month
11.
12. Facts about the reproductive systems…
Size of sex cells:
– Female ovum =
1/175th inch
– Male sperm =
500 lined up
tail to tail
would
equal one inch
13. Production of sex cells
Females are born with 200,000 –
400,000 immature ova. Approximately
375 will be released in a lifetime!
One spoonful of semen can contain 100
million – 300 million sperm!
14. Sperm
• Head- contains DNA,
which when combined
with the egg's DNA,
will create a new
individual… tip of sperm
head is called the
acrosome, which
enables the sperm to
penetrate the egg.
• Midpiece- contains
mitochondria which
supplies the energy the
tail needs to move.
• Tail- moves with whip-
like movements back
and forth to propel the
sperm towards the egg.
15. The Endocrine System regulates long term changes in your body like
growth and development. It also controls many of your body’s daily
activities.
A hormone is a chemical substance produced by an endocrine gland.
Puberty is a period of sexual development during which a person
becomes sexually mature and physically able to reproduce.
18. #8 Testes
Reproductive glands; produce sperm and testosterone
#7 Scrotum
Sac-like pouch; holds testes and helps regulate temperature
#6 Epididymis
Comma-shaped structure with a duct system; where sperm
mature
Vas Deferens
Two long, thin tubes; provide passage and storage for
sperm
19. #5 Seminal Vesicles
Two sac like structures that produce fluids to help keep
sperm alive
#3 Prostate Gland
Produces some parts of the semen
#2 Urethra
Structure through which urine and semen pass out of body
Penis
Tube-shaped sex organ; used for reproduction and
urination
22. ADDITIONAL TERMS TO KNOW
• Sperm: male reproductive cells
• Testosterone: hormone that
produces male secondary sex
characteristics
• Semen: thick fluid that contains
sperm and secretions from male
reproductive organs
• Erection: penis swells with blood and
elongates
23. • Ejaculation: release of semen from
the penis as a result of muscular
contractions
• Nocturnal emission (wet dreams): an
involuntary discharge of semen during
sleep
25. Male Reproductive System Class Activity:
Held in the scrotum, …….
A valve within the urethra prevents the two
fluids from mixing. Several million sperm
are released during one ejaculation.
26. Held in the scrotum, are two testicles, where millions of sperm cells are
produced.
The undeveloped sperm cells move to the epididymus where they mature.
During sexual excitement, blood fills up the erectile tissue of the penis,
causing an erection. Sperm then travel through the vas deferens.
When ejaculation occurs,
sperm cells mix with fluid from the seminal vesicles and the prostate
gland.
The mixture of sperm cells and seminal fluid is called semen.
Semen is then forced through the urethra.
The urethra carries urine as well as semen to the outside of the body,
but not at the same time.
A valve within the urethra prevents the two fluids from mixing.
Several million sperm are released during one ejaculation.
32. A. Ovaries
Reproductive glands; produce ova and
estrogen
B. Fallopian Tubes
Four-inch long tube; connects ovary to
uterus
C. Endometrium
Inner lining of the uterus, thickens to
receive the fertilized egg
33. D. Vagina
Muscular tube to outside of body; organ for
sexual intercourse; birth canal
E. Uterus
Muscular organ; supports fetilized egg during
pregnancy; contracts during childbirth
F. Cervix
Lowest part of the uterus; connects to vagina
34. • Ova: female reproductive cells
• Estrogen / progesterone: hormones
that produce female secondary sex
characteristics
• Ovulation: process of releasing one
mature ovum each month
• Menstration: unfertilized egg and
lining of uterus leave body in
menstrual flow
35. Clitoris - small, highly sensitive
structure located above the opening
to the urethra
Labia minora/Labia majora – folds of
skin covering the opening to the
vagina
Vulva: the outside part of the female
reproductive system

41. Fertility Awareness or “Fertile” Days of a
menstrual cycle:
• Track your period for about 3-4 months.
• Ovulation occurs about 13-14 days before menstruation
begins.
• The egg cell lives anywhere from 12-24 hours.
• The sperm cell can live for 3-5 days inside the female
reproductive system.
• During ovulation, the cervix dilates (opens) and the
cervical mucus thins to promote fertilization
42. 1. Count the number of cycle days – 28.
2. Count backwards 13-14 days.
3. Subtract 5 dates for the longevity of the sperm. Add 1
date for the life cycle of the egg (1 day).
43. The female got her period 2 days late! Instead of October
28th, she got her period on October 30th. When could she
GUESS to be fertile the month of November?
44. The female got her period 2 days late! Instead of October

53. PMS = Premenstrual Syndrome
• Physical and emotional symptoms a
female experiences prior to getting
her period
• Caused by hormonal changes
• Symptoms include: anxiety, depressed
mood, crying spells, mood swings and
irritability, anger, food cravings,
insomnia, poor concentration
54. Toxic shock syndrome is a rare, life-
threatening complication of bacterial
infection in the blood. Toxic shock
syndrome has been associated with:
• Using superabsorbent tampons
• Wearing a diaphragm or
contraceptive sponge
• Having a staph or strep infection,
especially if you have skin wounds or
healing surgical incisions
55. Symptoms of TSS:
• Fever over 102 F
• vomiting or diarrhea
• A rash resembling a sunburn with
peeling skin, especially on the palms and
soles
• dizziness or mental confusion
• Pale and clammy skin, signaling a rapid drop
in blood pressure; if toxic shock is left
untreated at this stage, it will quickly lead
to loss of consciousness, cardiac and
respiratory failure, and death.

60. Path of sperm through the
male reproductive system
activity
To start:
Held in the scrotum,
61. The uterus is the part of the body that a baby will grow. The inner lining in the
uterus is what supports and nourishes the baby. If fertilization does not occur,
what is shed during a woman’s period? the lining. During a woman’s period,
blood and other tissue from the uterus leave the body through the vagina. A
period can last from a few days to about one week. The average menstrual cycle
is about 28 days. Day 1 of the menstrual cycle is the first day of the period. In
the middle of the menstrual cycle (around day 13-14) the ovary releases an egg.
How many days does it take for an egg to travel down a fallopian tube? a few
days. Meanwhile the lining of the uterus gradually gets thicker so it can
support the development of a fertilized egg. If the egg gets fertilized it will
implant in the endometrium (lining) and the woman is pregnant! If it is not
fertilized, the woman is not pregnant and the egg will begin to dissolve and the
lining is not needed and the cycle begins again.
