Sexually Transmitted Infections

1.1K
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

20.7K
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...

What is Behavior?

10.3K
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Development of the Sexual Organs in the Embryo and Fetus

3.7K
Development of the reproductive organs in an embryo starts from a bipotential state. This means the early embryo can develop either male or female reproductive organs. The formation of these organs begins with the growth of gonadal ridges that arise from the intermediate mesoderm during the fifth week of development.
Near the gonadal ridges, two duct systems are present: the mesonephric ducts (Wolffian ducts) and paramesonephric ducts (Müllerian ducts). These ducts form the basis for the...

Behaviorism01:28

Behaviorism

4.9K
The field of behaviorism was pioneered by figures such as Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner fundamentally shifted the focus of psychology to the observable and controllable aspects of human and animal behavior. This shift marked a critical evolution in the discipline, emphasizing scientific rigor and experimental methodology.
The core premise of behaviorism is its focus on observable behavior rather than internal thoughts or feelings. This approach argues that true scientific...

Plastic Behavior01:21

Plastic Behavior

580
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Adolescent Health
  • Sexual Health

Background:

  • Adolescent sexual behavior is a critical area of public health research.
  • Understanding patterns of sexual activity and contraceptive use is essential for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize sexual behaviors in a sample of adolescents and youth aged 14-24 years.
  • To identify trends in contraceptive use and unprotected sexual intercourse.

Main Methods:

  • An analytical descriptive study was conducted using a World Health Organization-adapted questionnaire.
  • The study surveyed 2,369 students in a Portuguese city, divided into two age groups: 14-19 years (G1) and 20-24 years (G2).

Main Results:

  • The mean age of first sexual intercourse was 16.4 years, with 93% using contraception.
  • Emergency contraception use was reported by 54% of participants.
  • Unprotected sexual intercourse occurred in 21% of cases, with higher rates among females and younger participants, and was sometimes associated with alcohol influence.

Conclusions:

  • While contraception use during first sexual intercourse is common, inconsistent use in subsequent encounters is a concern.
  • A significant percentage of young individuals consider contraception unnecessary for subsequent sexual acts.
  • The prevalence of unprotected, unplanned, and alcohol-influenced sexual intercourse necessitates enhanced sexual education programs for adolescents.
