androgens in both males and females
–  Pituitary gland
–  Hypothalamus

Fertilization
(a) A sperm penetrates the zona pellucida. (b) The sperm nucleus fuses with the egg nucleus at fer.liza.on, producing the zygote. Gametes:
- sex cells
- sperm in males
- oocytes (eggs) in
females
(c) The second cleavage produces the four-­‐cell stage. Surface layer of cells (d) Fluid enters the ball and liCs some cells, forming a cavity. This produces the blastocyst, a ball of cells with a surface layer and an inner cell mass Blastocyst Inner cell mass Endo-­‐ metrium (Uterine cavity) (e) Implanta.on begins when the blastocyst aEaches to and invades the endometrium. 23 Fig. 8-­‐1, p. 206 Differentiation of the Embryo
•  Determined by the fertilizing sperm at the
time of conception
–  Conception - combining of 23 pairs of
chromosomes
•  22 are the same and the 23rd is the sex
chromosomes
•  Egg carries an X sex chromosome
•  Sperm carries either a X or Y chromosome
•  XX provides the blueprint to produce a female
•  XY provides the blueprint to produce a male

43 Sexually Transmitted
Diseases (STD)
Ch 18
The Major STDs
•  Also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
•  Spread of an infection from person to person mainly
through sexual activity
•  STDs that pose a major health threat:
1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 
5. 
6. 
7. 
HIV/AIDS
Hepatitis
Syphilis
Chlamydia
Gonorrhea
Herpes
Human papillomavirus (HPV)
•  CDC (2008) estimated 65 million Americans were
infected with an STD, and about 19 million Americans
become newly infected with an STD each year
45
Table 18.1 Annual new cases of STDs in the
United States
46 Table 18.2 Sexually transmitted pathogens and
associated diseases
47 HIV Infection and AIDS
•  Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is
the virus which causes AIDS (acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome)
•  Leading cause of death in some parts of
the world
•  Approximately 65 million people around
the world have been infected with HIV
since the epidemic began
–  Nearly 1% of the world’s population
–  About 3 million new infections per year
•  25% of HIV-infected Americans are
unaware of their condition
48
What is HIV Infection?
•  Chronic disease that progressively damages
the body’s immune system
–  HIV attacks and invades CD4 T-cells, monocytes
and macrophages
–  HIV enters a human cell and converts its own
genetic material, RNA, into DNA
•  People with AIDS are vulnerable to a number
of serious opportunistic (secondary) infections
•  Once initial symptoms resolve, the
asymptomatic period may last from 2 to 20
years
49
Transmitting the Virus
•  HIV lives only within cells and body fluids
•  Three primary means of transmission:
–  Specific kinds of sexual contact
–  Direct contact to infected blood
–  HIV-infected women to her fetus or to infant
during breastfeeding
–  Not through casual contact
50
Figure 18.1 The general pattern of
untreated HIV infection
51 Populations of Special Concern for
HIV Infection
•  Most common means of exposure:
–  Sexual activity between men
–  Injection drug use
–  Heterosexual contact
•  African American men and women are
vastly overrepresented among U.S. people
newly diagnosed with AIDS
52
Figure 18.2 Routes of HIV
transmission among Americans
53 Symptoms of HIV Infection
•  Within a few days or weeks, some people
will develop flulike symptoms
–  Specialized test HIV RNA assay
•  Symptoms take months or years to develop,
but as immune system weakens, variety of
symptoms develop
–  Pneumocystis pneumonia (fungal infection)
–  Kaposi’s sarcoma
–  Difficult-to-treat yeast infections in women
–  Tuberculosis
54
Diagnosing HIV Infection
•  Most common tests check for the presence
of antibodies to the virus
–  HIV antibody test
–  ELISA (first test)
–  Western blot or immunoflourescence assay is
done to confirm results
•  If HIV positive, the next step is to determine
the disease’s severity to plan appropriate
treatment
55
Diagnosing AIDS
•  HIV-positive and either has developed an
infection defined as an AIDS indicator or
has a severely damaged immune system
•  Reporting
–  All diagnosed cases of HIV or AIDS must be
reported to public health authorities
•  Treatment
56 –  No cure
–  Antiviral drugs
–  Postexposure prophylaxis (PEP)
–  Treatments for opportunistic infections
–  HIV and pregnancy
–  Treatment challenges

antiviral drugs work
57 What About a Vaccine?
•  Vaccines are being tested in humans
•  Licensed AIDS vaccine is not estimated to
be at least a decade away
–  Some experts concede the possibility that a
vaccine may never be developed
•  How can you protect yourself?
–  Make careful choices about sexual activity
–  Don’t share drug needles
–  Participate in an HIV education program
58 Figure 18.4 What’s risky and what’s not: The
approximate relative risk of HIV transmission of
various sexual activities
59 Chlamydia
•  Most prevalent bacterial STD in the U.S.
•  Can cause sterility in men and women
–  In women, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease
and ectopic (tubal) pregancy
–  In men, chlamydia is the most common cause of
epididymitis, and causes half of all cases of urethritis
•  Symptoms
–  Usually asymptomatic in women
–  Vaginal discharge, burning with urination,
watery discharge from penis, pain around
testicles and in lower abdominals
60
Chlamydia
•  Diagnosis
– Examination of tissue samples or urine
•  Treatment
– Once diagnosed, infected person and
partner are given antibiotics
61
Gonorrhea
•  350,000 new cases reported to the CDC in 2007
•  Bacterial infection
•  Can cause sterility, arthritis, heart problems, PID,
ectopic pregnancy, urethritis, and gonococcal
conjunctivitis in infants of infected mothers
•  Symptoms
–  Usually asymptomatic in women, though frequent
burning during urination, menstrual irregularities,
pelvic pain, and discharge may occur
–  Thick yellow-white discharge, and painful urination
in men
62
Gonorrhea
•  Diagnosis
– Microscopic exam of discharge can
diagnose infection
•  Treatment
– Oral antibiotics can be taken for
treatment
•  Growing number of drug-resistant strains
of gonorrhea is a major concern
63
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
•  Leading cause of infertility in young women
•  Symptoms
–  Long and painful periods, discharge, spotting, low
abdominal pain, fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting

account for 90% of genital warts and 70% of
cervical cancers
–  Most effective before the onset of sexual activity
65
Human Papillomavirus Infection
•  Symptoms
–  Small bump on the skin or a large, warty growth
–  Cauliflower-like mass
–  May cause irritation and bleeding
•  Diagnosis
–  Diagnosed based on the appearance of lesions

size of warts
•  Cryosurgery (freezing)
•  Electrocautery (burning)
•  Laser surgery
66
Genital Herpes
•  1 in 5 adults in the U.S. has genital herpes
•  Two forms cause genital herpes and oral-labial
herpes
–  HSV 1 (Type 1)

•  Oral-labial herpes
•  50-80% of U.S. adults have antibodies to HSV-1
–  HSV 2 (Type 2)
•  Almost always sexually transmitted
•  Usually occurs during adolescence and early adulthood
•  Approximately 22% of adults have antibodies to HSV 2
•  Remains in the body for life
67
Genital Herpes
•  Symptoms

–  First episode causes flulike symptoms and genital
lesions
–  Virus remains alive in an inactive state and an
outbreak can occur at any time
•  Diagnosis
–  Diagnosed through examination of sores and
culturing of fluid taken from sores
•  Treatment
–  No cure
–  Antiviral drugs taken at the beginning of an
outbreak can shorten the severity and duration of
symptoms
