Useful Background for the Study of STDs
This SparkNote contains numerous references to human
reproductive anatomy, as well as to specific physical
symptoms that require some familiarity with male and
female anatomy. While most of these terms will be
cross-referenced within the SparkNote, it would be
useful to have on hand either diagrams of the male
and female reproductive anatomy, as well as a list of
the functions of each body part.
In addition, most of the STD study topics contain
some information about the microbiology of the
organism being discussed. If you have taken biology,
this will test your familiarity with basic concepts.
If you have never taken biology, you will find
definitions of most of the terms, but these
definitions will not provide adequate understanding
of how an organism functions.
