16
Q

What does the urogenital sinus form?

A

Bladder and urethra

17
Q

What does the mesonephric duct form?

A

Incorporated into bladder as the trigone

18
Q

Where does the indifferent gonad develop in?

A

Gonadal ridge - closely related to the mesonephros

19
Q

Describe primordial germ cells during embryo development

A

Don’t originate in the gonadal ridge but migrate to gonads from endoderm lining of yolk sac via hindgut around 6 weeks of gestation

20
Q

What does the epithelium of the gonadal ridge form?

A

Primitive sex cords

21
Q

What does the germ cells and primitive sex cord form?

A

Indifferent gonads which is capable of developing into testis or ovary

22
Q

What does the Y chromosome contain?

A

SRY gene - sex determining region of Y which produces testes determining factor - SRY protein

23
Q

Describe SRY protein

A

Acts on indifferent gonad to promote the formation of testis

24
Q

Describe the development of the ovary

A

Migrating germ cells enter ovary
Primitive sex cord extends into medulla but degenerates
Secondary sex cords develop and surround germ cells to form ovarian primordial follicles

25
Q

When is the ovarian follicle pool determined?

A

20 weeks of gestation

26
Q

Describe the development of the testis

A

Migrating germ cells enter testis
Primitive sex cords extend into medulla and form testis cords

27
Q

What so testis cords transform into?

A

Future seminiferous tubules and rete testis

28
Q

What are Sertoli cells derived from?

A

Surface epithelium under effect of AMH

29
Q

What are Leydig cells formed from?

A

Intermediate mesoderm and produce testosterone from 8 weeks onwards

30
Q

Describe testicular descent

A

Gonads originate in posterior abdominal wall
Testes reach deep inguinal ring by 7 months of pregnancy

31
Q

What is the management for undescended testicle?

A

Cryptorchidism requires early surgery
