B8 L6 Flashcards
Testes
make sperm and testosterone
Ovaries
produce ova and estrogen and progesterone
Germ Cells
haploid cells that allow for reproduction
XX Germ Cells
make oogonia
XY Germ Cells
make sperm
SRY
initiates development of testes
if no Y, ovaries developed
XX Theca Cells
make progesterone and testosterone
XX Granulosa Cells
make progesterone and estrogen from testosterone
XY Sertoli Cells
make anti-mullerian hormone
XY Leydig Cells
make testosterone
Phenotypic XX
Internal- uterus, fallopian tubes, upper vagina
External- clitoris, labia, lower vagina
Phenotypic XY
Internal- epididymis, vas deferns, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts
External- penis and scrotum
Wolffian Ducts in Females
degenerate
Mullerian Ducts in Females
develop into internal genitalia
Wolffian Ducts in Males
develop into internal genitalia
Mullerian Ducts in Males
degenerate because of secretion of anti-Mullerian hormone
Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Axis
GnRH released from hypothalamus (gonadotropin)
FSH and LH released from pituitary
sex steroids and inhibin/activin released from gonads
Swyer Syndrome
46 chrom XY, SRY not functional external female genetalia non functional streak gonads intact Mullerian ducts
XX Male
46 chrom phenotypic male small testes and breasts no Mullerian organs sterile
Klinefelter Syndrome
47 XXY
feminization- breast growth
tall, sterile, poor coordination, low muscle mass, broad hips
learning disability
Turner Syndrome
45 chrom- X
female missing an X
short, webbed neck, infertile
learning and visual disabilities
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
excessive androgen production
XX female with ovaries but ambiguous genitalia
17a Hydroxylase Deficiency
XY with underdeveloped or female genitalia
hypokalemia
XX- normal but infertile; no menarche and underveloped female characteristics
17B Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Deficiency
XY- males with ambiguous or female external genitalia but internal testes
XX- masculinized females
5a Reductase Deficiency
XY
underdeveloped male genitalia but fertile
Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
mutation of testosterone receptors- elevated lvls but no response
XY female- short vagina, no uterus; undescended testes
diagnosed w/ failed menarche
Sertoli Cells
support cells
form blood testis barrier
secrete fluid into tubule to transport spermatozoa
secrete Androgen Binding Protein to concentrate testosterone in testes
Spermatogonia
stem cells
Spermocytes
developing sperm that arise from spermatagonia
