Pelvic Region
What happens in Week 5 Embryology Repro
Genital Gonadal Ridge Formation
Germ cells migrate into
Indifferent Gonad in Week 6
What tube comes para-mesonephric duct
Epithelium of Mesonephros tube
What develops lateral to developing gonads and mesonephric duct
Para-Mesonephric Duct
Wolffian Duct is also known as
Mesonephric duct
Mullerian Duct is also known as
Paramesonephric Duct
Gonad forms
Testis
Mesonephric Duct develops into (3)
Epididymis, Vas Deferens and Seminal Vesicle
Urogenital Sinus forms what in males
Bladder, Urethra and Prostate
Gonad in the female forms
Ovary
Paramesonpehric Duct in females forms
Fallopian Tube, Uterus, Cervix Part of Vagina
Urogenital Sinus forms what in females
Bladder and Lower Vagina
Primordial Supporting Cells expresses
SRY Encodes
Primordial Supporting cells transforms SRY into
Sertoli Cells
Sertoli Cells secrete
Mullerian Inhibiting Substance
What does Paramesonephric Duct do in males
Degenerates
Leydig cells produces
Testosterone
Mullerian Inhibiting Substance transforms Mesenchymal cells between cords to form
Leydig Cells
Leydig Cells and Sertoli Cells can be found in what histology
Testis
What happens in week 5 of testis development
Primary Sex Cords, Medulla and Cortex
What happens in week 7 of testis development
TDF Stimulates Primary Sex Cords and extends into medulla seminferous cords tubules
What between cords gives rise to Interstitial cells of leydig
Mesenchyme
By week 8 what does Leydig Cells Produce
Testosterone
In males what does paramesonephric duct do
Degenerates
Seminal Vesicle is an outgrowth from
Caudal end of mesonephric duct
Prostate is an outgrowth from
Urethra
In the presence of what does gonad develop into testis
TDF
What two things does female fetus not have that male does
No SRY Region and No TDF region
By 10 weeks secondary sex cords develop from
Surface Epithelium
Primordial Follicles forms from
16 Weeks
By what month have all follicles formed in female development of ovary
7 Month
Oocytes enter meiosis and are arrested in what meiotic division in development of ovary
Prophase 1st Meiotic Division
After puberty hormonal influences stimulate how many follicles
12-15 follicles per 28 day cycle
Absence of testosterone in females causes
Degeneration of mesonephros and mesonpehric duct
What gives rise to female genital tract
Paramesonephric Duct
Which end of paramesonephric duct becomes associated with ovary
Cranial (open funnel)
Which part of paramesonephric duct (uterovaginal primordial) becomes uterus and superior vagina
Caudal End
Inferior Part of Vagina forms from
