Chapter 6: embryonic development of the female genital system Flashcards
Large, sometimes tortuous ureter because of distal blockage
Hydroureter
Second stage of kidney development (aka wolffian body)
Mesonephros (wolffian ducts)
Connection between the mesonephros and the cloaca
Mesonephric ducts
Structure that appears at approximately 5 weeks gestation that becomes either ovaries or testes
Gonadal ridges
Blockage or absence of a structure
Atretic
Immature oocytes
Oogonia
Pertaining to the urinary and genital system
Urogenital
Sac-like vascular structure that lies below the chorion and develops from the hindgut
Allantois
Accumulation of secreted fluid resulting in distension of the uterus and vagina because of obstruction
Hydrometrocolpos
Fold of peritoneum that connects the uterus to the pelvis
Broad ligament
Cavity that is part of the development of the digestive and reproductive organs
Cloaca
Paired ducts that become the Oviducts, uterus, cervix, and upper vagina
Müllerian ducts (paramesonephric ducts)
Section of the uterine broad ligament that covers the ovary
Mesovarium
Formation of an embryo
Embryogenesis
Primary or first kidney that develops in the embryo
Pronephros
Precursor of germ cells, become oocytes or spermatozoa in the adult
Primordial germ cells
Urine collection in the kidneys because of distal obstruction
Hydronephrosis
Female germ cells
Oocytes
Normal number of paired chromosomes
Diploid
A method used to classify the embryo, placing the embryo into categories depending on age, size, and morphologic characteristics, is called
Carnegie staging
Fetal period genitourinary anomalies include all except:
A. Ureter agenesis
B. Hydrometrocolpos
C. Pre-embryonic fusion
D. Obstructive uropathy
C
Cloacal anomalies can result in:
Hydrometrocolpos
An ultrasound examination of a patient with hemtocolpos should include imaging of the:
Kidneys
The most common mass lesions in neonates are of:
Renal origin
Often development abnormalities in the female pelvis become apparent:
At the onset of puberty
