Main points Sperm is produced in the testicles. Sperm leaves a boy’s body through the hole at the end of the penis. Semen is the fluid that carries sperm. Session guide Activity: Body Mapping 1. Ask for a boy to volunteer to lie down on a large piece of newsprint or pavement. Have another volunteer draw around his body using a pen or chalk so there is an outline of a boy. 2. Ask all group members to talk about and draw the following body parts: eyes, nose, mouth, heart, lungs, and stomach. 3. Ask group members to draw the male reproductive organs (where sperm are produced, where the sperm travel through, what is used for sexual intercourse). 4. As people are drawing, do not make any comments or correct any mistakes. 5. Ask for a volunteer to present the drawing and explain the different parts. 6. After the group has talked about the drawing, show them this picture of the male body and reproductive system. Ask them if their drawing looked like this one and if there is anything they would like to change. Penis Urethra Bladder Vas Deferens Testes (Testicles) Scrotum
5. Female reproductive system Objectives By the end of this session, group members will be able to: • List the main organs in the female reproductive system. • Explain the process of menstruation and fertilization. Background notes The female sex organs that are on the outside of the body are called the vulva. The vulva includes the two folds of skin called the labia, the clitoris, and the vagina. The labia have two sets of rounded folds of skin called the outer and inner lips. The labia cover and protect the vagina. The inner and outer lips come together in the pubic area. Near the top of the lips, inside the folds, is the clitoris, which is small and round. The clitoris is made up of the same type of skin as the tip of the penis and is very sensitive. The clitoris has no other function than to help a woman have sexual pleasure. The urethra is a short tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. The opening to the urethra is very small, and can be hard to find by touch or sight. It is right above the opening to the vagina. The vagina is below the urethra. Menstrual blood and babies come out of the vagina. The vagina is the place where a man puts his penis during sexual intercourse. The vagina can stretch wide enough to allow a baby to pass through. Every female is born with thousands of eggs in her ovaries. The eggs are so small that they cannot be seen by the naked eye. Once a girl has reached puberty, a tiny egg matures in one of her ovaries and then travels down a fallopian tube on its way to the uterus. This release of the egg from the ovary is called ovulation. The uterus prepares for the egg’s arrival by developing a thick and soft lining like a pillow. If the girl has had sex in the last few days before or the day after she ovulates, by the time the egg arrives in the fallopian tube, there might be some sperm waiting to come together with the egg. When an egg comes together with the sperm this is called fertilization. Then the fertilized egg travels to the uterus, and attaches to the lining of the uterus. This is called implantation and is when a pregnancy begins. If the egg is not fertilized, there is no pregnancy and the uterus does not need the thick lining it has made to protect the egg. It discards the lining, along with some blood, body fluids, and the unfertilized egg. All of this flows out of the vagina. This flow of blood is called the “period” or menstruation and usually leaves the body slowly over three to seven days every month.
