Development and Structure, of the Reproductive System lecture 5 Flashcards
gonads develop in a __________________ position next to the dorsal body wall. they are derived from __________________.
1) RETROPERITONEAL (does not stay that way)
2) intermediate mesoderm
In the Developing Human Male: The gonad (testis) fights over the _______________ with the kidney, eventually taking it over.
mesonephric duct
Testis take over the mesonephric duct for itself, and it winds up becoming the spermatic duct, or ____________________.
DUCTUS DEFERENS
Mesonephric duct = ___________________ Paramesonephric duct = ________________
1) Wolffian duct 2) Mullerian duct
Male testes descend from their initially retroperitoneal position, through the body wall, into a pouch protruding from the body wall called the ___________
SCROTUM.
DESCENT OF THE TESTES causes Everything to get dragged along such as _____________, nerves, ____________. All of these together form a connection (“leash”) of testicular connections called the _______________.
1) ductus deferens 2) blood vessels 3) SPERMATIC CORD
As testes push through body wall, they carry with them all layers and a bit of coelomic space. The equivalents are:
- Skin: _______________
- Superficial fascia: ______________
- External oblique: ______________________
1) SCROTAL SAC
2) DARTOS MUSCLE
3) EXTERNAL SPERMATIC FASCIA
As testes push through body wall, they carry with them all layers and a bit of coelomic space. The equivalents are:
- Internal oblique: __________________
- Transversus abdominus: _________________
- Coelom + peritoneum: _______________
1) CREMASTER MUSCLE
2) INTERNAL SPERMATIC FASCIA
3) TUNICA VAGINALIS
Erectile tissue has _________________ on top of it
1) striated musculature
Gubernaculum are anchored to the _________ and outside of the body wall
Testes drag the body wall down into ___________
1) gonad
2) the scrotum
A smooth muscle that Sustain longer contractions and is responsible for Thermal regulation.
Dartos muscle
Parietal vaginal tunic = ________________
Visceral vaginal tunic = ________________
1) farther from testi
2) actually on the testi
WHY DESCEND???
Preserve male fertility – sperm must be kept a bit cooler than standard mammalian body temperature. Otherwise ____________________________________
they degenerate and lose motility.
•As the transitory stages of kidney degenerate, a ligament called the _______________ descends on each side of abdomen from inferior pole of gonad.
GUBERNACULUM (Guide the decent of the testes out of the abdominal body cavity )
- Gubernaculum passes obliquely through developing ant. abdominal wall at site of future inguinal canal and attaches at internal surface of labioscrotal swelling
- Gubernaculum is thought to guide descent of testes into scrotum, and ultimately anchors testis to scrotal wall.
__________________ is the future position of scrotum in males or labium majus in females.
Labioscrotal swelling
ENTRANCE INTO THE SCROTUM
Spermatic cord passes through opening to the scrotal pouch to reach the testis on each side.
- If it were a wide open hole, loops of the intestine could slip out there – with resulting damage to gut tube (constriction or strangulation) called ____________.
- This danger is guarded against by the opening being a very narrow slit called the _____________.
1) “HERNIATION” or HERNIA.
2) INGUINAL CANAL
Weakening of body wall musculature can result in a hernia
The testes “descend” and place the ductus deferens in a position just ______________ the ureter!!
ventral to (“in front of”)
Sperm are stored at the distal end of the old mesonephric duct…at the distal end of the ductus deferens.
This distal end bit that attaches to the testis is called the _______________ which is where ___________ occurs.
1) EPIDIDYMIS
2) tale attatchment
In the Developing Human Female:
A specialized collecting tube runs from the _________ to the embryonic cloaca.
- It is plastered over the ovary so that when an egg is shed from the ovary, it doesn’t ____________________.
- This collecting tube – the ____________________– is positioned just lateral to the mesonephric duct of the developing kidney.
1) ovary
2) escape into the coelom
3) PARAMESONEPHRIC DUCT
“Mesonephric duct degenerates
Paramesonephric duct is retained
The two come together and fuse”
- The caudal ends of the right and left paramesonephric ducts fuse near their entrance into the embryonic cloaca to become the ___________ AND ____________.
- The remaining unfused parts are then known as the UTERINE TUBES, SALPINX, or more commonly the _______________
1) UTERUS
2) VAGINA
3) FALLOPIAN TUBES.
Broad ligament is a single layer of ______________
serosa
is a connective tissue strap/band anchoring ovary to lateral uterine wall.
OVARIAN LIGAMENT
_______________________ is the remnant of the female gubernaculum connecting uterus to labia majora.
ROUND LIGAMENT OF THE UTERUS
_________________ is a Sheet of connective tissue supporting uterus laterally, as well as fallopian tube and ovary out to lateral body wall.
BROAD LIGAMENT
Mesometrium is connected to the __________
uterus
DESCENT” OF THE OVARY
- The ovary also descends, following a _____________, but it does not exit into an extra-abdominal position like the testes.
- It ends its descent just below rim of ______________ girdle.
- The ovary’s gubernaculum persists in the adult as a pair of fibrous cords that RUN THROUGH A ________________, and insert into the ____________ (round ligament of the uterus that anchors itself).
1) gubernaculum
2) bony pelvic
3) VESTIGAL INGUINAL CANAL
4) LABIA MAJORA
Round ligament of the uterus anchors itself
