Q

What are granulosa cells?

A

granulosa/follicle cells are supporting cells in the developing ovary

20
Q

Do germ cells undergo gametogenesis in female gonads in utero?

A

Yes–> but arrest in M1 prophase

21
Q

Which endocrine cells are induced by sertoli and follicle cells respectively?

A

Leydig and theca cells

22
Q

The Leydig cells are the source of ____.

A

testosterone

23
Q

The theca cells are the source of ____.

A

estrogen (in addition to some from granulosa/follicle cells)

24
Q

The sertoli cells are the source of _____.

A

anti-Mullerian hormone/Mullerian inhibiting substance –> make mullerian ducts degenerate

25
Q

Testosterone is converted to ____

A

DHT –> masculinization

26
Q

What kind of epithelia are support cells of gonad? (sertoli, follicular)

A

coelomic epithelium

27
Q

What kind of epithelia are endocrine cells of gonad? (leydig, theca)

A

mesodermal stroma

28
Q

Where in the developing testis are testis cords located?

A

medulla

29
Q

Where in the developing ovary are ovary cords located?

A

cortex

30
Q

Site of gametogenesis in males

A

lumen of seminiferous tubules

31
Q

In which sex is the duct system completely closed

A

males

32
Q

Why is the female duct system not continuous?

A

the mesonephric duct degenerates, separating the ovary from the oviduct

The paramesonephric ducts fuse under the influence of ____

A

estrogen

34
Q

The _____ form the fallopian tubes.

A

unfused ends of the paramesonephric ducts

Q

The ____ elongates to form the inferior vagina.

A

sinovaginal bulbs

A

broad ligament

38
Q

The ____ is created by resorption after paramesonephric duct fusion.

A

uterine cavity

39
Q

_____ is in the base of the broad ligament and courses through the cardinal ligament.

A

ureter

Q

The_____ is the deepest part of the female peritoneal cavity.

A

rectouterine pouch

41
Q

A ___ is a uterus with malformation resulting in two horns.

A

Bicorniate

42

In females the ____ forms the labium minora.

A

unfused urogenital folds
