Q

primordial cells do what

A

derrived from epiblast

their fate is to enter the sex cord and become future gametes

males = spermatogonia

uterus
the upper portion of the vagina

19
Q

the extenal female genitalia

A

labia
clitoris
lower portion of the vagina

20
Q

what forms internal genitalia

A

urongenital sinus

21
Q

the upper portion of the urogenital sinus forms

A

the bladder

22
Q

external genitalia grows and differentiates when

A

grows at week 9 differentiates at week 12

23
Q

what is the most common uterine anomaly

A

septate uterus

24
Q

bicornuate uterus

A

incomplete fusion of the mullerian ducts

25
Q

uterus didelphys

A

mullerian ducts fail to fuse and thus a double uterus, cervix, and vagina

26

genital tubercle
urogenital sinus
urogenital fold
labioscrotal swelling

27
Q

genital tubercle develops what in males

A

penis

28
Q

the urogenital sinus develops what in males

A

penile urethra

29
Q

the urogenital fold develops what in males

A

glands

prostate
bulbourethral

30
Q

labioscrotal swelling develops what in males

A

scrotum

31
Q

the 4 key structures of development need what for male development

A

DHT

32
Q

5-alpha reductase deficiency

A

leads to ambiguous genetalia until puberty to which testosterone increases

33
Q

hypospadia

A

congenital anomally of the male urethra that features an abnormal opening on the inferior side of the penis

most common

34
Q

epispadia

A

congenital anommaly of the male urethra that features an abnormal opening on the dorsal side of the penis and is often associated with bladder extrophy

35
Q

the gential tubercle in females develops

A

clitoris

the urogenital fold in females develops what

A

labia minora

37
Q

the urogenital sinus in females develops what

A

glands

paraurthral (skene)
bartholin

38

labiosacral swelling in females develops

A

labia majora

39
Q

the 4 major glands require what to develop a female

A

estrogen

40

genetically males
high pitched voice
additional X chromosome
low testosterone
high FSH and LH

infertility
congenital heart defect
short stature
edema of wrist and ankles
webbed neck

42
Q

AMH deficency

A

rare sex disorder in XY genotype

internal female genitalia
normal external male genitalia

due to androgens

43
Q

5-alpha reductase deficiency

A

impaired conversion of testosteone to DHT

male internal genitalia
female external genitalia
phenotypically a female
