Q

what is the origin and the migration of the primordial germ cells

A

first redcognized in yolk sac at 24 days. migrate via hindgut and its mesentery; go to the genital ridge. Mitosis during migration.

Q

Describe how the embryo has both the male and the female internal organs originally…

A

The early embryo develops both the mesonephric duct and paramesonephric duct. The male embryo develops the mesonephric duct and the paramesonephic duct degenerates. The female develops the paramesonephric duct and the mesonephric degenerates.

Q

What does teh mesonephric duct become in the male and the paramesonephric duct become in the female?

A

male:
Mesonephric: ducts of the testis and the ductus defrens etc.
Female:
Paramesonephric duct: Fallopian tubes, and the uterus and upper vagina.

20
Q

how does the bipotential gonad become the male?

A

Sry induces a male pattern by upregulating Sox9, which inhibits Wnt4/Rspo1

21
Q

how does the bipotential gonad become the female?

A

Wnt4 and Rspo1 shut down Sox9 and you get female

22
Q

What is turner syndrome?

A

45 XO : webbed neck, shield chest, widely spaced nipples, delayed puberty, short stature, sterility.

23
Q

why do you not really consider the female development as the “default” development?

A

even though it seems that a lack of Y is therefore a default as a female considering turner syndrome where there is only one X…the phenotype is different than a normal female and only has vetigial ovary, and therefore sterile.

24
Q

Where would Wnt4 and Dax1 be expressed for normal gonadal development?

A

in the genital ridge.

25
Q

would you expect that Wnt4 and Dax1 would be expressed the same i both males and females at the gonads?

A

Wnt4 is expressed the same in the bipotential gonad and then down regulated in male by the SOX9 gene. Dax1 only expressed in female!

26
Q

what would be the phenotype of an individual with a 46xx genotype who has a null mutation in Wnt4 or Dax1?

A

would have female genotype and male phenotype

27
Q

what is the molecular control path for male?

A

SRY up regs. SOX9 which ups SF1 and other genes and inhibits WNT4 to give testes and the male phenotype

28
Q

what is the path of female molecular development?

A

WanT4 up regs. DAX1 (which down regs. SOX9) and Other genes to give Ovaries and female phenotype.

29
Q

how do the female and male molecules inhibit eachother?

A

Sox9 inhibits WNT4 and DAX1 inhibits SOX9

30
Q

Expressed in the kidney and bipotential gonad of both males and females.

A

Wnt4

31
Q

Describe the formation of the vagina:

A

Fused paramesonnephric duct attaches to the urogential sinus and forms the uterus and the upper part of the vagina
Hollowing of uterovaginal plate forms the lower vagina.
Canalization is required to hollow the vagina
the Hymen is a mesodermal mesenchyme that separates the lumen of the vagina from the urogenital sinus.
The urinary and vagina then achieve seperate openings!

32
Q

a uterus with two seperate uturus and vagina and connections to the uterine tubes.

A

uterus didelphys

33
Q

what does the mesonephros duct require in order to persist in the embryo?

A

requires testosterone.

34
Q

What are some determinates of gender?

A

Genetic; Gonadal (Testis versus ovary); Phenotypic (Reproductive deucts, External genitalia)

35
Q

How would an ultrasound before the end of the third month be rather indeterminate for the gender of the baby?

A

the external genitalia is bipotential through the third month.

35
Q

what are the components of the bipotential external genitalia?

A

genital tubercle at the top,
genital swelling (labioscrotal swellings) around the genitalia,
cloacal/Genital fold that becomes the urethral folds and anal fold as the anus pinches off;
(genital still closed off by cloacal membrane)

36
Q

What do the parts of the bipotential external genitalia become in the male and female?

A

Genital Tubercle:
Female: clitoris / Male: Glans and shaft

Genital folds:
Female: Labia minora / Male: Penile urethra

Genital swellings:
Female: Labia Majora / Male: Scrotum

37
Q

Persists in ovary and down regulated in the testis by Sox9

A

Wnt4

38
Q

Molecular signal expressed only in female gonads

A

Dax1

39
Q

what does the paramesonephric (mullerian) duct become in the female?

A

Persists and
cranial becomes the Uterine (fallopian) tubes
Caudal tubes fuse and become the uterus and upper vagina
(hormones not strictly required for this)

40
Q

What happens to the mesonephric (woffian) ducts in females?

A

they regress since there is not testosterone.

contribute to ovarian and uterine ligaments.

41
Q

uterus with indentation into the uteral space from the top layer of tissue

A

uterus arcuatus

42
Q

A uturus with one vagina but a split of the uterus into two almost seperate uterus spaces (like to utuerie that are fused together to the same vagina)

A

uterus bicornis

43
Q

a uterus that is connected to one vagina and to only one uteral tube and the other uteral tube has an small uterus that is not connected to the vagina

A

uterus bicornis unicollis

44
Q

uterus that has a closed off cervix

A

atresia of cervix

45
Q

uterus that has a closed off vagina

A

atresia of vagina
