- Name the five reproductive system functions that are necessary for reproduction.
- Describe the importance of sexual activity beyond its contributions to reproduction.
- Explain that the hormones produced in connection with reproductive systems have other important roles and describe three of these roles for testosterone and for estrogen.
- Describe the overall age changes and age-related changes in male reproductive functioning and describe the effects from these changes.
- Name specific factors other than reproductive system aging that have significant effects on male and female sexual responses.
- Name and describe effects of aging on the five phases of male sexual response (p. 273), and describe the overall effects on sexual response from these individual effects.
- Define menopause and explain its significance with respect to the reproductive capabilities of women.
- Explain why menstrual cycles seem to become irregular and lengthen and as menopause approaches.
- Describe the overall effects of menopause on female reproductive structures and explain the reason for these effects.
- Describe the overall effects of menopause and estrogen replacement therapy on the vagina, external genitalia, and breasts and describe consequences from these effects.
- Name and describe effects of aging on the four phases of female sexual response (p. 283), and describe the overall effects on sexual response from these individual effects.
- Describe age-related trends in sexual activity, discuss reasons for these trends including specific examples, and name ways of reducing these trends.
- Describe benign prostatic hypertrophy including what it is, its effects, and ways to minimize its effects.
- Describe impotence including what it is, contributing factors, its effects, and ways to prevent or minimize this condition.
- Describe prostate cancer including what it is, its effects, and ways to prevent or minimize this condition.
- Describe breast cancer including what it is, its effects, and ways to prevent or minimize this condition.
