Q

how does the urogenital ridge form the kidney and ureter

A

differentiates into gonadal ridge

gives rise to gonad and nephrogenic cord laterally - this forms the kidney and ureter

Q

what is the indifferent gonad

A

develops in gonadal ridge
made of a combination of germ cells and primitive sex cord cells
can develop into testes or ovaries

17
Q

how do ovaries develop

A

primitive sex cords extend into medulla then degenerate

seondary sex/cortical cords develop and surround ovaries to form primordial follicles

18
Q

when is the ovarian reserve established

A

20 weeks gestation

19
Q

what is the function of the SRY gene

A

produces SRY protein (testes determining factor) which promotes testes formation

20
Q

how are the testes formed

A

primitive sex cords extend into medulla and form testis cords then seminiferous tubules and rete testes

21
Q

how are sertoli cells formed

A

AMH causes them to be derived from surface epithelium

22
Q

how are leydig cells formed and when do they produce testosterone

A

from intermediate mesoderm

produce testosterone from 8 weeks

23
Q

where to the gonads originate

A

posterior abdominal wall

24
Q

when do the testes reach the inguinal ring

A

by 7 months

25
Q

what is cryptorchidism

A

undescended testicle

26
Q

what is cryptorchidism

A

undescended testicle

27
Q

what are the two sets of genital ducts

A

mesonephric duct - next to indifferent gonad

paramesonephric duct - lateral to mesonephric duct

28
Q

what does AMH do

A

causes paramesonephric ducts to regress

mesonephric ducts from male repro organs

29
Q

what is the trigone formed from in males and females

A

mesonephric ducts

30
Q

how does the mesonephric duct persist in males

what does it form

A

AMH
testosterone
epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles

31
Q

what does the mesonephric duct form in males

A

epididymis
vas deferens
seminal vesicles

32
Q

what happens to the mesonephric duct in females

A

regresses

33
Q

what can the remnants of the mesonephric duct in females form

A

epoophoron
paraphoron
(small cystic structures)
gartners duct cyst

34
Q

what do the paramesonephric ducts form in females

A

fuses and canalises to form uterus and upper 2/3 of vagina

unfused portions form fallopian tubes

35
Q

what forms the lower 1/3 of the vagina

A

urogenital sinus

36
Q

what forms the hymen

A

fusion of the paramesonephric ducts and urogenital sinus

37
Q

where to urogenital folds form

A

either side of cloacal membrane

38
Q

how is the genital tubercle formed

A

fusion of urogenital folds

39
Q

what happens to the genital tubercle in males

A

elongates to form penis

40
Q

wat happens to genital tubercle in females

A

forms labia minora and clitoris

41
Q

what happens to the labioscrotal swelling and urogenital folds in males

A

labioscrotal swelling folds fuse posteriorly

urogenital folds fuse posteriorly to form penile urethra

42
Q

what happens to the labioscrotal folds in females

A

form labia majora
