_____ develop in the yolk sac
germ cells
migrate to genital ridge (L1) where they develop into gametes (sperm)
germ cells
aggressive tumors; contains more than one cell type
non-seminomas
contains one cell type; highest cure rate at 95%
seminoma
3 major germ cell tumor markers
AFP, LDH, beta hCG
from intermediate mesoderm
gonads
intermediate mesoderm (genital ridge) to _____ gonad (genital ridge) at weeks 5-6
indifferent
responsible for testes formation; Y linked
SRY gene product (TDF: testis determining factor)
_______derived cells migrate into the intermediate mesoderm where the testes are forming
peritoneum
peritoneum derived cells form _____ around the germ cells
sex cords
derived from sex cords and is where sperm is being developed
