2) Ejaculatory ducts

25
Q

what are ALL the structures that are developed from the Mesonephric ducts?

A
  • Epididymis
  • Ductus deferens
  • Seminal Vesicle
  • Ejaculatory duct
26
Q

the gonadal cords form what in males?

27
Q

MIH (Mullerian Ducts regress) is produced by what?

A

Sertoli cells

28
Q

what does MIH cause?

A

causes the mullerian ducts to degrade/regress

29
Q

what is the remnant of the Mullerian duct in men?

A

the Appendix testes

30
Q

the prostate and bulbouretheral glands are endodermal outgrowths from what

A

Urogenital sinus

31
Q

where does the gubernaculum extend?

A

from the gonad to the labioscrotal swelling (future scrotal sac)

32
Q

what is the shortening of the gubernaculum responsible for?

A

pulls the testis, ductus deferens, and testicular vessels downward through the abdominal wall

33
Q

name the 3 layers of the scrotum

A
  • Internal spermatic fascia
  • Cremasteric muscle
  • External spermatic fascia
34
Q

what layer of the scrotum is formed from the external oblique aponeurosis?

A

External spermatic fascia

35
Q

Congenital inguinal hernia-

A

Patent processus vaginalis

36
Q

what leads to development of fluid-filled cysts in the scrotum?

A

Hydrocoele

37
Q

What is cryptorchidism?

A

failure of the testes do descend

38
Q

which 2 genetic factors are females lacking?

A
  • No SRY

- No TDF

39
Q

what do stromal cells of the ovary develop from?

A

Mesenchyme of gonadal ridge

40
Q

what are follicular cells?

what do they develop from?

A

“caretakers” of PGCs

develop from gonadal cord cells

41
Q

what cell type surrounds the PGCs

also form ovarian follicles

A

Follicular cells

42
Q

what does a lack of testosterone cause?

A

Mesonephric duct regression

43
Q

What does a lack of MIH lead to

A

continued growth & development of mullein ducts

44
Q

whats another name for mullein ducts?

A

paramesophrenic ducts

45
Q

The Müllerian ducts will form what?

A

The Müllerian ducts will form the uterine tubes, uterus, and superior vagina

46
Q

what is formed by The cranial ends of the Müllerian ducts?

A

uterine tubes

47
Q

what is formed by the uterovaginal primordium?

A

forms uterus and superior vagina

48
Q

what fuses to give the uterovaginal primordium?

A

Sinovaginal bulb

50
Q

what is the vaginal plate?

A

Sinovaginal bulbs separating from the urogenital sinuses

-fuse with uterovaginal primordium

51
Q

what forms the inferior vagina?
