B8-002 Development of Reproductive System Flashcards
germ cells arise in week 2 from the
epiblasts
primordial germ cells migrate to the […] in weeks 3 and 4
yolk sac
(this keeps them separate from everything else as it is differentiating)
44 XO
Turner syndrome
47 XXX
triple X syndrome
45 YO
lethal
47 XXY
klinefelters
tall
normal puberty/fertility
may have lower IQ
increased risk of psychotic disorders
triple X syndrome
short stature
widely spaced nipples
cardiac abnormalities
primary hypogonadism
turner syndrome
micropenis
cryptorchidism
gynecomastia
small testes
primary hypogonadism
klinefelter’s
tall
puberty/fertility normal
lower IQ
increased risk of hyperactivity/autism disorders/acne
jacob syndrome
doubleY syndrome
gene important for sex differentiation
responsible for tests determining factor (TDF)
SRY gene
SRY gene results in […] phenotype
male
[…] duct gives rise to internal male genitalia
mesonepheric
[…] duct gives rise to internal female genitalia
paramesonepheric
leydig cells and thecal cells arise from
intermediate mesoderm
sertoli cells and follicle cells arise from
coelomic epithelium
presence of SRY gene activates […] and […] cells and ultimately leads to the formation of male external genitalia
leydig (mesonepheric ducts persist)
sertoli (paramesonepheric ducts degenerate)
absence of SRY gene activates […] and […] cells and ultimately leads to the formation of female external genitalia
thecal (mesonepheric duct degenerates)
follical (paramesonepheric persists)
when SRY is present, leydig cells produce […] which allows for mesonepheric duct to persist
testosterone
when SRY is present, sertoli cells produce […] which allows for paramesonepheric duct to degenerate
AMH
if SRY is present, but not enough AMH is produced, what will be the result?
male external genitalia
both male and female internal genitalia
if SRY is present, a 5a-reductase deficiency will result in
male internal genitalia
female or ambiguous external genitalia until puberty
(inability to convert testosterone to DHT)
female and male gonad development occurs during week
5
(indifferent stage)
in the absence of SRY, the coelomic epithelium will form [2]
primordial follicles
granulosa cells
in the absence of SRY, the intermediate mesoderm will form
thecal cells
in the presence of SRY, the coelomic epithelium will form [2]
seminiferous cords
sertoli cells
in the presence of SRY, the intermediate mesoderm will form [2]
leydig cells
tunica albuginea
gonads form on the […], then descend into the pelvis
posterior abdominal wall
differentiation of the male duct system occurs during week […]
6-7
sertoli cells secrete AMH, causing degeneration of the […] duct
paramesonephric
leydig cells secrete testosterone allowing for retention of the […] duct
mesonephric
mesonephric duct is remodeled into [4]
seminal vesicle
epididymis
ejaculatory duct
ductus deferens
SEED
appendix testis and prostatic utricle are remnants of
paramesonephric duct
the top part of the paramesonepheric duct gives rise to the
fallopian tube
the bottom part of the paramesonepheric duct gives rise to the […] primordium
uterovaginal primordium
uterovaginal primordium projects to the […] which produces the sinus tubercle
urogenital sinus (bladder)
form on the anterior lateral vagina
usually asymptomatic
remnant of mesonepheric duct
gartner’s cyst
sinus tubercle induces the formation of […], future hymen
sinovaginal bulbs
