Genital Embryology Flashcards
Gonads
the sex gland or reproductive gland that is responsible for the testis and ovaries
what are the 3 cell types that lead to development
mesenchymal
mesothelial
primordial
the 3 primary cell types for genital development occur in what region
gonadal region
migrate from the yolk sac
mesenchymal cells do what
their fate is the medulla and are responsible for leydig cells and the ovarian support stroma
mesothelial cells do what
their fate is the gonadal ridges and primary sex cord cortex
they create the semineferous in males and ovarian follicle in females
primordial cells do what
derrived from epiblast
their fate is to enter the sex cord and become future gametes
males = spermatogonia
females = oogonia
sex is differentiated at what week
7
what determines sex
SRY gene on the Y chromosome
SRY gene on the Y chromsome produces what to grow testis
TDF = testis determining fator
Sertoli cells secrete what
MIF = mullerian inhibitor factor
Leydig cells secrete what
testosterone
What is the major function of sertoli cells
supress the development of the female organ
Testosterone from Leydig cells is stimulate by what
androgen
the mesonepheric duct creates what
SEEDE
Seminal vesicles
epididymis
ejaculatory duct
ductus vas deferens
efferent ductules
what is the ovary determining gene
WNT4
what forms the primordial follicles
oogonia and follilular cells
the paranepheric ducts are formed in the absence of what
MIF
