4
Q
- Allantois and yolk sac are _ structures
- What types of cells are located in this structure and from what embryological germ layer do these derive from?
A
- Endodermal
- Primordial germ cells (coming from epiblast-made of ectoderm)
5
Q

A
- AMH (anti-mullerian hormone)
- Coelomic epithelial cells
6
Q
- The _ cells of the male produce _ and _ which aid in the production of male external genetalia
A
- Leydig cells
- Testosterone, DHT
7
Q
- The follicle cells of the female come from what embryological germ layer?

A
- Testosterone and DHT, mesonephric duct
- AMH, paramesonephric duct
13
Q

A
- Testosterone/DHT, mesonephric duct
- AMH, paramesonephric duct persists (internal female genitalia)
14
