31
Q

what cells go on to produce ova and sperm

A

germ cells

32
Q

what forms the female genitalia

A

the paramesonephric duct

the mesonephric duct degenerates due to lack of testosterone

33
Q

what is a Gartner’s cyst

A

a remnant of the mesonephric ducts which form cysts near the vagina, epoophoron and paraoophoron

34
Q

at what week does sexual differentation occur

A

week 8 to week 12

35
Q

what is the appendix epididymis

A

remnant of the proximal end of the mesonephric ducts

36
Q

what is the appendix testis and prostatic utricle

A

remnants of the paramesonephric ducts

37
Q

what does the mesonephric duct form when it moves caudally

A

the epididymis, vas and seminal vesicle

38
Q

what is the sino vaginal bulb derived from

A

the posterior aspect of the urogenital sinus

39
Q

what do the two paramesonephric ducts fuse with

A

the sino vaginal bulb

40
Q

how does proximal vagina and uterus form

A

the ducts zip together in a cranial direction

41
Q

how do the uterine tubes form

A

the Mullerian ducts stay seperate as the left and right uterine tubes with fimbriated ends that open into the peritoneal cavity

42
Q

how does the broad ligament form

A

As the ducts lift off the posterior
abdominal wall they lift peritoneum as
the broad ligament

43
Q

describe some uterine abnormalities

A
double uterus and double vagina
double uterus 
bicornate uterus
separated uterus 
unicornate uterus 
cervical atresia
44
Q

what is the gubernaculum

A

a cord that connects the testes with the bottom of the labioscrotal folds and causes descent of the testes in the fetus

45
Q

what two ligaments tether the gonads

A

the suspensory ligament and gubernaculum

46
Q

what does the gabernaculum do in the male

A

shrinks to draw the testes down the posterior abdominal wall to the inguinal canal then through the canal at 8 months so the testes should be in the scrotum by birth

47
Q

what does cryptorchidism mean

A

failure of the testes to descent

48
Q

what does the gubernaculum form in the female

A

round ligament

49
Q

what is the processus vaginalis

A

the testes take a loop of peritoneum with them which remains as the tunica vaginalis

50
Q

what is the tunica vaginalis

A

the serous covering of the testis

51
Q

what happens if the processus vaginalis stays open

A

indirect inguinal hernia and hydrocele

52
Q

what is hydrocele

A

the accumulation of serous fluid in a body sac

53
Q

what forms the endodermal urethral plate

A

the UG sinus

54
Q

what structures are formed by the urethral plate

A

the genital tubercle, the UG folds and the labioscrotal folds to form the external genitalia

55
Q

what forms the scrotum

A

genital swellings on either side of the urethral fold

56
Q

how does the penile urethra form

A

As the penis elongates, the edges of the urethral folds move

towards each other and fuse in the midline. the urethra ‘zips up’ from proximal to distal

57
Q

what is hypospadias

A

failure of the urethral folds to form or to extend along the penis and fuse

the urethra opens onto the ventral surface of the penis

58
Q

why are connections and fistulae of the UG tract and the rectum/ anal canal common

A

common origin and proximity

59
Q

What is the cloaca

A

the distal hindgut which will go on to form the rectum, anal canal, urogenital system

60
Q

what structures make up the renal primordia

A

pronephros
mesonephros
metanephros

61
Q

where do the kidneys form

A

pelvis and then travel upwards

62
Q

if the uteric bud fails to reach the metanephros why wont the kidney form

A

the uteric bud induces development

63
Q

what are somites formed from

A

mesoderm

64
Q

what is the coelom formed from

A

mesoderm

65
Q

what is the urinary and reproductive system formed from

Q

what is the vas formed from

A

mesonephric duct

Q

what is the genetic basis for female sex

sex determining region Y

found on the Y chromosome and involved in male sex determination

71

A

Mullerian duct

72

A

Wolffian duct

73
Q

what forms the lower third of the vagina

sinovaginal bulb which is an endodermal bud of the UG sinus

74
Q

what does the UG sinus form in males

A

upper -urinary bladder
pelvic - prostatic and membranous urethra
phallic - urethra

75
Q

what does the UG sinus form in females
