Question
Answer
Describe the types of hypospadia   Glanular: Urethra opens at the inferior surface of glans. Penoscrotal: Down at the base of free penis. Penile: midway opening  
🗑
What causes a double uterus/vagina?   Lack of fusion of paramesonephric ducts and lack of uterine septum to disappear  
🗑
What is the mesonepheric ridge derived from?   Intermediate mesoderm  
🗑
What develops in the mesonephric ridge region?   Mesonephric duct  
🗑
What develops in the gonadal ridge?   Gonads. There is a thickening of the epithelium in the genital ridge  
🗑
What happns in the urogenital ridge?   Migrating neural crest cells. thickening medial to the genital ridge where the adrenal gland will be.  
🗑
What does the adrenal gland produce? Medulla?   Adreneline. The cells that produce and secrete adrenaline act as if they are postsynaptic. They secrete in response to presynaptice fibers from thorax  
🗑
What does the cortex produce?   There are corticoids and testosterone  
🗑
Describe the germ cells   Eventually going to be egg or sperm, if they get lost they can become tetratomas  
🗑
How do the germ cells migrate?   Along the allontois, around the cloaca, through hindgut, dorsal mesentery, then to gonadal ridge  
🗑
Describe the primitive sex chords of male and female   Cords of the cortex persist in females, Medulla persist in males  
🗑
What does the medullary cords develop into in males?   Rete testis  
🗑
Where are the follicular cells in the female?   They make a follicle around the primary oocytes  
🗑
What degenerates to become the proper ligament of the ovary and the round ligament?   Mesonephric duct  
🗑
What is another name for mullerian duct?   Paramesonephric duct  
🗑
what do the paramonephric ducts do in female?   They join together but not quite closed to form the cervix  
🗑
What is at the end of the uterovaginal plate?   Hymen  
🗑
What is another name for the mesonephric duct?   Wolfian duct  
🗑
What does the wolfian duct become in the female?   Ovarian ligament proper and the round ligament of the uterus  
🗑
What factor is th Y chromosome referred to as?   Testis determining factor  
🗑
If the gonad contains the Y chromosome then what are the cells it develops?   Sertoli cells  
🗑
What hormone does the sertoli cells produce?   Antimullerian hormone: prevents further development of the mullerian ducts  
🗑
What population of cells does AMH cause?   Leydig cells  
🗑
What do leydig cells produce?   Testosterone  
🗑
What is the 1st population of leydig cells responsible for?   Maintaing the wolfian duct  
🗑
Waht is the 2nd population of leydig cells responsible for?   Spermatogenesis  
🗑
When do the testis cords become hallow?   At puberty  
🗑
What do the paragenital tubules develop into?   Epididymis  
🗑
What do the mesonephric tubules develop into?   The efferent ducts  
🗑
What do the genital swellings develop into?   The labia majora or scrotum  
🗑
What do cells have in the perineal area that are responsible for testosterone conversion?   5 alpha reductase that converts testosterone to DHT  
🗑
What does the DHT lead to?   there are DHT receptors that when bound will result in the development of secondary characteristics  
🗑
When the phallus elongates what happens?   There is going to be a urethral fold  
🗑
What happens to the urethral groove and where is it?   It is at the base of the penis and it gets zipped up by urethral raphe. There is also scrotal raphe that zips up the scrotum  
🗑
What is the urethral fold similar to in the female?   The labia minora  
🗑
What does the urethral plate at the base of the penis do?   It pushes itself it  
🗑
What is the secondary groove?   It is an indentation of the primary groove. The urethral folds come and zip the whole thing up  
🗑
What does the bulbourethral gland do?   Produce secretions  
🗑
Where do seminal vesicles secrete?   Into the urethra  
🗑
What does the glanular urethra from from?   a second population and so we end up with a wider section of the urethra referred to as the navicular fossa  
🗑
