reproduction

the process by which organisms create more organisms of their own

male reproductive system

-sperm produced and stay viable at temp. little lower than body temp. 96 degrees F.


- testes produce sperm and hormone called androgen responsible for secondary male characteristics

female reproductive system

-ovaries lie in pelvis


-sex hormones estrogen and progesterone( responsible for secondary characteristics)


- 1 ova expelled from ovaries a month


- moves threw fallopian tubes to womb or uterus


fertilization

a male sperm enters and unites with female ovum to form zygote ( fertilized egg)

menstrual cycle

one ovum reaches maturity in a follicle and goes to fallopian tube to uterus where sit can be fertilized


-if not fertilized the oveum degenerates after 24 hours and will be expelled from body during menstration

- a score is given at 1 minute and 5 minuts after birth


-7-10 baby normal, 4-7 might require more help, 3-7 resuscitate


- 0 is no response, 1 little respond, 2 full response

parent infant bonding

process of interaction and mutual attention that occurs over time and forges an emotional bond

preterm infant
